Tennis-Themed Halloween Party Ideas For a Fun and Spirited Celebration

Tennisthemed Halloween party ideas for a fun and spirited celebration

Tennis Director Jeff Vest and his team at Pleasanton quickly got underway for this event, having held an annual Halloween Fun Night for years.

Encourage guests to don their best tennis apparel for your party. This could range from clothing inspired by Bjorn Borg or John McEnroe, to Serena Williams outfits or the Davis Cup look worn by Canadian players Leylah Annie Fernandez and Bianca Andreescu.

Balloons

Bring tennis-themed treats into the party: yellow ball cupcakes decorated with white frosting, tall sparkler-type birthday candles and other treats will surely please guests at your tennis-themed gathering! Guests will adore an exciting tennis party themed party.

Create your own party invitations by cutting neon green card stock paper into the shape of a tennis ball and writing out all your party details in thick white or black letters on it, or opting for digital with an RSVP template that allows guests to add their name and RSVP.

Kids will have great fun making their own racquets with this easy craft idea. Give each child a paint stick, plain white paper plate and markers in various colors; write their names on plates then secure them to sticks using strong packing tape; after which, they can enjoy playing balloon tennis by hitting balloons back and forth using their new racquets!

If you’re throwing a couples’ party, why not dress the guests of honor as some of tennis’s iconic couples? With just some shirt and visor, Nike tennis gear and sweatpants they could channel Chris Evert and Jimmy Connors; Maria Sharapova and Grigor Dimitrov; or Felix Auger-Aliassime, Denis Shapovalov, Alexandra Dabrowski and Carol Zhao!

Paper Tassels

If you’re an avid tennis fan and looking to host an unforgettable celebration, a tennis theme party could be the ideal way to do just that! Your guests will love spending their day enjoying tennis among like-minded fans just as much as Serena or Novak fans do – they may even recognize Coco! They’ll appreciate playing alongside fellow enthusiasts.

Invite guests with a neon green tennis ball-shaped card featuring bold white or black font and the message, “Come cheer on your favorite players!”

Create a DIY table runner to replicate the look and feel of an actual tennis court by covering an entire surface area with vibrant green tablecloth, construction paper or tape – just be sure to cover all surfaces prior to serving food and drinks!

Serve snacks and drinks that reflect the theme, such as tennis-ball shaped cookies or ghost-themed cheesecake, gummy worms in chocolate “dirt”, and petrifying punch.

Design your own drinkware using paint and stencils featuring tennis rackets and balls on glasses and goblets, then complete the table setting by matching napkins and paper plates with prints featuring this sport’s imagery.

Mini Tennis Rackets

An instant hit at any costume party, kids dressed as Serena Williams, Roger Federer or even Coco will always add an exciting element. Encourage guests to abide by a tennis dress code for added fun; whether wearing tulle tennis skirts or sweatbands will certainly enhance the excitement and lively nature of your event!

Build an impressive-looking table by covering a picnic or rectangular table with dark green felt or table cloth and adding white duct tape to mimic tennis court lines, then adding yellow plates, cups, and napkins for decoration.

Give your kids an exciting DIY project by giving each a plain paper plate, one paint stick and some markers; have them draw their name onto it with markers before securing the stick to the back of it as their very own homemade tennis racket – then pair up into doubles and hit balloons back and forth against one another; the winning team being determined by who hits their balloon the most times before it falls to the ground.

Sunglasses

Make your tennis-themed party even more festive by including sunglasses as part of your look! Sunnies are an essential accessory for any tennis player and make for an excellent Halloween costume addition. You can purchase or make them yourself using old glasses painted neon green to achieve a unique look. Amazon or Etsy may carry what you need if not

A tennis-themed party can still be exciting without dressing up, with food like gummy worms in “dirt” and petrifying punch. Or hold an annual Halloween food fight. Or host an indoor scavenger hunt where balls are hidden throughout the room so players can search for them!

Dressing as your favourite tennis player or character can be loads of fun if you’re an enthusiast of the game! Go as Rosie the Riveter to inspire female athletes, or recreate the look of Canadian tennis players Leylah Annie Fernandez, Bianca Andreescu, Rebecca Marino Gabriela Dabrowski and Carol Zhao who competed at Billie Jean King Cup 2017. Alternately you could dress as Felix Auger-Aliassime Denis Shapovalov Vasek Pospisil and Alexis Galarneau

Face Towels

Make sure your tennis-themed Halloween party guests are equipped for outdoor play in the heat with face towels and sweatbands as favors; hand them out alongside cheap visors as an added touch if your party will take place outdoors on a bright sunny day.

Baking tennis ball cookies is an easy and delicious treat that makes great favors, with easy-to-use tennis-themed cookie cutters being readily available online and at many supermarkets.

Make a memorable treat this Halloween party using red and black magic markers to transform tennis balls into eyeballs – it is an easy and inexpensive way to add some spookiness!

Dress your players in costumes that coordinate with your theme. For instance, players could dress as iconic tennis duos like Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe or Maria Sharapova and Grigor Dimitrov. Or you can have players “zombie-fied” by a make-up artist for added effect.

Add some creepy elements to your tennis-themed party games by organizing Halloween food fights or haunted house scavenger hunts where tennis balls are hidden for players to find, or holding glow-in-the-dark tennis tournaments with glow-in-the-dark apparel and balls for players.

Cookies

After an exhausting tennis match, refresh your guests with lemonade or cucumber-and-cream cheese finger sandwiches served on food tiers. Arrange these treats on an elegant tablecloth decorated with tennis court designs or use a table runner as decorations for this party!

Put together the perfect photo op for social media by setting up a selfie station featuring tennis props. Or have guests pose with real tennis balls for unique and amusing photos!

Use a circle cookie cutter to cut tennis racquets out of PB&J sandwiches, or make quick tennis ball lunch by cutting melon slices into small circles and spearing them onto Popsicle sticks for an enjoyable snack. Add chips as a meal accompaniment, and complete this easy and enjoyable party idea by giving out clear cellophane bags filled with foil wrapped chocolate tennis balls and gummy tennis racquets as party favors!

Make a memorable tablescape for your guests by turning a rectangular table into a tennis court using vibrant green tablecloth and white masking tape to mark off lines that replicate those seen on tennis courts, then set all of your food and drinks on special plates to serve guests at.

Photo Booth

Photo booths make an exciting and enjoyable addition to any tennis-themed party, especially those hosted at home. To add an extra special touch, create an immersive tennis court-inspired environment by hanging green tennis court-esque backdrops, then have guests pose with tennis balls as props in front of it all for pictures taken with guests posing and snapping shots for guests’ enjoyment. Alternatively, pre-made backdrops may also be purchased and set up quickly within your own home environment.

To add more of a creepy atmosphere, create a haunted tennis space with a creepy backdrop and sinister music. Ghost tennis with glow-in-the-dark balls may even work! Other ideas for creepy fun are zombie tennis, vampire tennis and trick-or-treating tennis – these should get your players up the energy necessary for some truly scary tennis action!

Provide delicious Halloween-themed snacks such as gummy worms on chocolate “dirt” or terrifying punch made with red and green grapes, orange slices, marshmallows and white chocolate drizzle – great options are Maria Sharapova’s brand on Pinterest which would work perfectly at a tennis-themed Halloween party!

Encourage your friends and family to dress in tennis-related costumes by offering prizes for the best tennis-themed costumes, such as Leylah Annie Fernandez’s shirt-and-polo combination; Denis Shapovalov can wear Subway sandwich plus Lululemon gear; Felix Auger-Aliassime fans can put on black pants with tennis shoes to look like him;
