Description
A golf themed birthday party for our son, Cooper.
Design Inspiration
GOLF! We are a family of golfers and needed to have this December birthday indoors. We chose a local golf course as our location, and the theme blossomed from there.
Decorating Style
Modern, preppy, contemporary, designer
Project Details
Everything was DIY for this project. I gathered ideas from everywhere and enlisted the help for friends and family to pull it all together.
I made party favors with toy golf club sets for each child in attendance. I also ordered custom golf tees as take home gifts for the adults.
The centerpieces were the most fun part to create, I used a combination of Vuvuzelas and paper party balls to create the look of a giant golf ball on the tee.
I also had all of the food named within the golf theme. Not all of it is pictured here, but we had:
Sand-Wedges - Assorted Mini Sandwiches & Wraps
Eagles - Buffalo wings
Chip Shots - Chips
Greens in Regulation - Caesar Salad
Cheese WEDGES – Cheese plates
Mac and “TEES” – Mac and Cheese
Birdies – Chicken Nuggets
Sand Trap – Powdered Donut Holes on Brown Sugar
Get in the CUPcakes
Ball Markers – Golf themed cookies
Worm Burners - "Worms in Dirt"
..and more!
I am very fortunate to have very crafty friends!
Favorite Items
Besides the guest of honor, the centerpieces are my favorite part of the party!
Advice
Look for inspiration everywhere and get creative with your decor!
Where did you get the golf club party favors?
Where did you get the green plants for the centerpieces?
Was looking for answers here- so thought I’d share. I was trying to glue the lanterns on to the horns. No luck! So, I used a rubber band on the small hole- end of the lantern, looped over the support wire. I Tied the rubber band to a string which I then fed down through the horn and then tied it around the mouthpiece end. This tie will be covered when you set it up. I’m using old white plastic planters, free from Lowes, filled with small rocks to keep them standing upright, and then covering the rocks with Green shredded paper like you might use in an Easter basket.
Where did you find the golf sets?
Love the centerpieces, but I have the same question: How do you attach the tissue balls to horn? I tried spray glue and elmer’s glue. Neither held it. If anyone else has done this, please email me: psbourne@verizon.net
where did you find the golf sets? I have looked everywhere and can not find them
How do you attach the tissue balls to horn? Need suggestions ASAP for Ladies guest day event.
I’m going to throw in a few suggestions for other people who might be looking to do this in the future. We have an upcoming event and I’m using the horn/lantern for centerpieces. I’ll come back here and update everyone on what we decided to use:
1. You might be able to hot glue the horns to the bottom of your pot
2. I’m going to try to insert the horn into floral foam, such as the ones found here to stand them up: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FGDMHV7/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A1919NYIH5072G&psc=1
3. Another possible option that I’m going to explore is to use play-doh or modeling clay at the bottom
Did anyone have a creative way to attach horns to pots?
What is the “and more” of the menu
I am looking for directions on how to make the centerpieces.
Please tell me how to get the lanterns to attach to the horns! Party this saturday and I can not figure this out – YIKES
I am asking the same question. How did you get the lanterns to stay on the stadium horns and how did you get the horns to stay upright?
Thanks

Could you please answer these questions???
I would love to know how you attached the honeycomb balls to the vuvuzelas. Please advise. Party is this weekend. Thanks.
Hi! Like everyone else, I’m wondering how to attach the honeycomb ball to the vuvuela! We are using them for table decor for a charity event golf tournament, auction and gala dinner. Did you use plaster to secure the vuvuela to the pot??? Thank you for your prompt reply!
