A Little LOVE Party for the Australian Open

Share this!

This post is sponsored but all of the ideas are my own.  Tennis is a game that has been a part of my life since I was a kid.  To be honest, I was never any good, BUT my older brother was amazing.  I grew up playing against the garage door in hope of one day being able to beat him.  That never happened.  I loved to go to his matches and tournaments where I would play with friends outside the fences and eat delicious snacks that my mom packed.  As an adult, I love to watch the game!   Everyone in our family owns a racket and some of us are better than others.  That doesn’t stop up from having a great time on the neighborhood courts!  The Australian Open is coming up in a few weeks.  I gathered up a few things from my favorite store, World Market, to get the party started.

If you want to decorate, what better way than with rackets and balls.  I tied the rackets together with World Market ribbon and placed them in a World Market basket full of tennis balls.

There are tons and tons of great tennis quotes.  This one is my favorite from a tennis player I think.  I printed the quotes and then framed them in World Market frames.

World Market has some awesome Australian snacks too.  Arnott’s makes great cookies and sweet treats.  We love the TimTams and the Caramel Crowns the best.

You can also pick up a bag of Australian licorice and add it to sugar cookies.  I used green apple but there is a variety of flavors to choose from!

Have you ever had drinks by Bunderberg.  Personally, I am huge fan of the Lemon, Lime & Bitters (best mixed with bourbon) but my kiddos love the Ginger Beer.  They like it with ice cream in it as a float!

Every party needs a goodie bag to send home with your guests.  World Market  has the perfect size handle bag to fit a Bundabeer Ginger Beer, a package of TimTams and a tennis ball.  Tie it up with World Market’s green raffia and Ta Da…
