Hosting Inspiration: Tennis Party Edition
From the tablescape and dress code to cocktails and small bites, here’s everything we’re loving for a tennis-themed party.
A tennis party is an easy excuse to get everyone together and have fun with the theme. Keep it simple with tennis green, crisp whites, and a few details inspired by the court.
Set the vibe
Start with a palette of tennis green and white, then bring in subtle references to the court.
Green florals and vintage rackets work well alongside tennis balls and striped details. Personalized tennis balls or rackets incorporated into the decor can make the theme feel intentional without overdoing it.
What to wear
Take inspiration from what you’d wear to the US Open.
Tennis whites, pleated skirts, polos, dresses, and elevated athleisure all work. A touch of green or a tennis-inspired accessory can tie everything back to the theme.
The tablescape
Keep the table white and green and use tennis details throughout. White and green florals keep things fresh, while vintage rackets or tennis balls can be incorporated into place settings and centerpieces. You don’t need much to make the theme come through.
What to drink
Keep drinks light and refreshing.
Green cocktails, Honey Deuces, or champagne all fit the theme. A simple bar cart also works well and gives you another place to add a few tennis details.
What to serve
Keep the menu easy for guests to enjoy throughout the party.
Small bites work especially well, with tennis-inspired desserts or a themed cake if you want to carry the idea into the food.
Bring it together
A tennis party doesn’t need every detail to match the theme. Start with a simple color palette, add a few references to the court, and focus on creating a setting where people want to hang out.
