My little Noah turned 4 last month, and we celebrated with an easy and simple baseball birthday party. Birthday parties in our house are always somewhere in between “Pinterest Perfect” and “Minimalist Fun.”

I want our parties to have fun decorations, but I don’t want them to take a lot of time or cost a lot of money. For cheap birthday inspiration, check out the links at the end of this post.

Easy and Simple Baseball Birthday Party

For Noah’s birthday, I spent one evening browsing Pinterest for inspiration. Then I went shopping, borrowed items from friends, did minimal prep, and decorated the day of the party.

Food Decorations:

cups & forks – I added baseball laces with a red sharpie and was inspired by this party.

Table Centerpieces:

I borrowed baseballs from a neighbor.
2 baseballs fit inside quart size wide mouth mason jars.
I filled 3 half gallon size mason jars with peanuts and Baby Ruth candy bars.

Living Room Decorations:

gift table – simple crepe paper details and Phillies’ logo mounted in old glass windowpane (borrowed from a friend)
NOAH banner made with baseball font – I added the red lace color with marker.

Cake:

Noah requested brownies with ice cream for his “cake.”
I set a bowl on top of the brownies and traced the edge with a knife to get the circle shape.
Then I piped in the white icing and added the lace details with red icing.
The windowpane was borrowed from a friend.
