Baseball Theme Weddings

My fiance and I are serving hamburgers, hot dogs, nachos, peanuts, cotton candy, cracker jacks….serving our meat in hot dog boats and nachos in nacho boats, peanuts n cotton candy will be bagged and cracker jacks in nostalgic boxes (sold at walmart during july 4th cheap)…….we also tossed around the ideas of popcorn, sun flower seeds and bubble gum. Hope that helps some

Hi,

My daughter loved this idea! She will use a cake made like a baseball diamond. Her fiance’ is a coach, so we will incorporate hi school colors. You can find individually wrapped crackerjacks, etc.
This will be more fun than a fancy candy bar!

I wanted to let you know, my fiance and I are planning a wedding reception with a touch of baseball theme too. He plays professionally and I played softball through college and now work for a miner league baseball team. We even met at a miner league stadium, he was playing and I was interning there, so needless to say baseball is a huge part of our life. I still wanted to have a more girly wedding, but we are adding a touch of baseball by having snacks on the tables at the reception. We are doing a big “party mix” with popcorn, peanuts, M&Ms(personalized with the color of the wedding), crackerjacks and pretzels. We are also serving hotdogs, either cut up in pieces or just using those small bite size ones (havent decided yet) We are plating those and putting pennant toothpicks in them to dress them up. Those are some of our ideas. Hope it helps. Good Luck!

We did printed baseballs. we had the date and our names on one side. We scanned our signatures and put them on the other side. So it looked like we autographed the ball. I got them at minisportsball.com the price depends on how much you buy. We had a big wedding (250) but with screen charge I think it came out to be about 2.50 a ball. They do have specials too. If I come across some pictures I will post them.

We are using a “Gatorade” water cooler like they use in the doug out for the team for our card box. We dressed it up with big bows on the handles and a bow tied around it with a cardstock print on the front labeled “cards”
Our reception is outdoors and not formal at all so it works for us, but if you are having a more formal one this idea may not help.

i would love to see! my fiance is a college baseball coach and has played all his life, so i would love to incorporate the sport in a classy way.

I am thinking about using a baseball theme for our wedding. Could you please send me a picture of your wedding cake.

Thank you very much

My Fiance and I are mapping out our Red Sox themed wedding (we got engaged at fenway). I am looking for elegant ways to pull this off, if anyone has pictures or a website to view please let me know thanks!

Hi,
We had our bridal party introduced to “All Star” by Smashmouth. As a part of their gifts, I got picture frames at Hallmark that played that song too. Nobody understood it until the wedding :)
In the programs, we also used the title “All Stars” instead of “Bridal party” and “MVP’s” for the MOH/Best Man. Our parents were “Coaches” But then, we took the theme pretty far!

I think the cupcakes are a great idea! As far as decorations go, my girls kept is minimal, with 2 balloon bunches - red & white balloons & 1 had a red Sox mylar balloon & the other had a bridal shower one. 1 was going to go on either side of the couch we were sitting on.
They also did themed baskets as centerpieces, which doubled as giveaways. 1 was Red sox themed & the others were other interests we have (where we went on the honeymoon, patriots, gardening, etc.)
They also got the mini baseball heltmets that they use at the parks for ice cream and filled them with candies tied up in tulle. Those were the favors, which I loved!

You could do bottles of Yankee hot sauce or bags of Yankee peanuts.

M&M has personalized candies, you can put the team logo on it, your picture or just sayings.

hey,
for our wedding we put out peanuts & cracker jacks. The bags of peanuts were piled in a big tin Red Sox bucket, but to be honest, you couldn’t even see that.
For my shower, the girls got mini baseball helmets & filled them with Hershey kisses wrapped in tulle. They were cute!

you can get a personalized baseball bat at this site. http://www.goweddinggifts.com/gc187.html You could always put yalls wedding date, or just a short line of thanks to the groomsmen. I think we might use these baseball cufflinks as our gifts : http://www.classiccufflinks.com/index.php?cat=baseball%20cufflinks. Hope this helps some!

Hi Ashley,
We had a baseball themed wedding. We gave the guys baseball cufflinks(just the baseballs no teams), the hope was for them to wear at the wedding but I don’t know if that happened. A insulated cooler tub with their initials(the ones you can take for tailgating) We also gave them a pilsner glass etched with their names and the wedding date, but on the bottom of the pilsner was a baseball.

I wanted to have a girlie wedding but also incorporate baseball too since we are both huge baseball fans. We are having a traditional wedding cake but with a cake topper of a bride and groom playing baseball. During the cake cutting we are wearing personalized baseball jerseys in our favorite team with our last name and our wedding day on the backs. We are also asking all our guests to bring a hat and/or baseball cap of their favorite team to wear as they enter the reception because we are having a wedcarpet entrance. Check the website out red carpet runway Its basically like walking the red carpet and we customized the back drop to have our names wedding date and our two favorite baseball teams. Everything else I have in my wedding is totally girlie but I wanted to include baseball to be fun and unique. I can’t wait to see how are guest are going to like it.

I too am looking for “classic baseball” ideas. I saw your website and love it. One thing I noticed was that both you and your fiance love different teams; I have the same thing… I love the Yanks, my future husband loves the Cubs. I’m looking for ways to incorporate both teams without making it look like a carnival. What sort of advice or ideas/decor are you going with?

Thanks.

Hi, Brian
I think you are going have to make them yourself, I haven’t seen any invitation tickets. This site advertises baseball themed invitation, not tickets. For my wedding I made tickets for the place cards, invitations would have been too much, don’t forget you would also need a response card etc. I will be on the look out for them for you. Good Luck

Hi Brian,
I’ve designed the attached placecard for several weddings and have customized them into invitations for a few brides. I’d be happy to help you if you’re interested. I can be reached at christina_walsh@verizon.net. Good luck with the rest of your planning!
Christina

Brian,
I made my own. The picture is attached. The bottom will be perforated, so our guests can tear it off & mail it back. They are sized to a regular business size envelope. Of course, you could change the theme & pictures to make it appropriate for any team.

Hope this helps!
Amanda

You ROCK. Im working on a willy wonka theme and I can buy my golden tickets from here! THANKS

I found this site and they have a pack of 10 tickets for $15, kinda spendy but it gives you the look of a venue ticket.

liz, i would just order the mini baseballs. also go to theknot.com and in search box type in baseball theme weddings it should have it there in the gallery.

I made trading card Save the Date cards through this website - http://www.customsportscards.com. You can also make baseball cards as a wedding favor. They do a great job and the prices are reasonable. If you want to see a sample of mine I can email it to you. Congrats! Me and my fiance met playing softball as well!
