      Cut black card stock into bowling ball shapes, and decorate with silver or white paint pens. Use bowling-themed invitations to carry out the motif.

    • 2

      Reserve a few lanes at your local bowling alley. Ask the bowling alley about offers for party per-person rate that includes shoe rental. For parties where guests pay for themselves, disclose these costs on the invitation.

    • 3

      Decorate or screen-print plain T-shirts or collared bowling shirts to hand out as party favors. Use a retro font.

      Determine whether the bowling alley sells food. Either provide food from the bowling alley, or bring pizzas and other snacks.

    • 5

      Make a circular cake. Set aside a small amount of white frosting, and use food coloring to dye the rest as close to black as possible. Frost the cake with the black to make a bowling ball, and then add white finger holes.

    • 6

      Divide guests into teams and keep a tally of each team's progress on a large tournament chart.

Tips & Warnings

  • Provide lots of napkins and wet wipes for use with greasy finger foods like pizza.
