One of the best parts of pickleball is that anyone can pick it up on Day 1. If you are a pickleball enthusiast, you can throw so many types of pickleball parties where everyone can participate. It’s an easy game to involve all your guests in and you will likely create at least a few pickleball enthusiasts along the way. Here are a few types of pickleball parties you can throw:
Pickleball birthday party
The best excuse to throw a party is a birthday. There are two options for a pickleball birthday party: 1. A pickleball-themed party, 2. A party where everyone gets to play pickleball.
For both types of parties, theming the event in pickleball decorations will make it even better! Pickleball decorations can include things like:
A pickleball cake.
Pickleball plates, silverware, napkins, etc.
Pickleball banners.
Pickleball balloons.
And so many more!
If you can throw your party at a pickleball court, park, or friend’s backyard — or anywhere else with a pickleball court — you will create a fun time for everyone who attends. Whether your guests are brand new to pickleball or have been playing for decades, adding pickleball to your birthday party encourages interaction and fun for everyone involved.
Pickleball wedding
You probably have to be really into pickleball to plan a pickleball-themed wedding, but if you’re reading this, you’re probably that into pickleball. Planning a pickleball wedding can make it a destination for your guests, whether it’s just pickleball decorations or actual pickleball games where everyone can participate.
There are some great times during before, during, and after your wedding when you can plan pickleball events, including:
Engagement party.
Bachelor & bachelorette party.
Rehearsal dinner.
The wedding itself.
Reception.
Pickleball corporate events
If you are an event planner, pickleball is always a great idea to add to your cache of events. Pickleball can be great for team building, is easy to learn, and is a nice break from more grueling meetings. Corporate events that you can add pickleball to include:
Conferences.
Seminars.
Team building.
Staff meetings.
Company retreats.
Pickleball charity or fundraising events
There are so many sports that host charity events, why not pickleball? Think of it like a fun run, but for pickleball. If you are looking to raise some money for your organization, some ideas for a pickleball charity event:
A pickleball tournament.
A learn-to-play-pickleball event.
An open play day.
A challenge, for example:
A “play pickleball for 10 hours,” etc. day.
Who can hit the most volleys.
Whoever raises the most money gets a free membership.
Giveaways: You can also use a pickleball giveaway in your non-pickleball event (like an auction), for example:
Pickleball paddles or other gear.
Pickleball venue memberships.
Pickleball tournament entries.
Pickleball gear signed by pro pickleball players.
Your participants can either donate money for the cause, or they can help raise money for the cause. You can also get sponsors, donors, and vendors for your pickleball day, raising more money for your charity or to cover event costs.
