My son recently celebrated his birthday with a ‘Tennis Theme’. Growing up, I think the most elaborate part of my childhood birthday parties is the fancy birthday cakes & no parties. I know that it’s not intentional but I often feel the peer pressure to put on an Instagram worthy party, filled with elaborate party decorations and party bags – spending too much money as a result. I love the creativity of putting together a party but unfortunately am sorely lacking in baking skills.As a busy mum, I have chosen to put together and only focus on three ideas that I can make at home that are effective and displays the theme bunting.
Bunting
I found three different Tennis posters and quotes and printed them on A4 paper and taped them together as bunting.

Cake
I may be creative but I am a terrible baker! Birthday cakes are my biggest challenge so I was super grateful that my son only wanted a basic tennis court as his birthday cake.

Party Favours
I am not a fan of lolly bags as party favours. Most of the time, my children come home with party bags filled with lollies that they don’t enjoy eating and they end up being thrown away. Every time we host a birthday, I have tried to find party favours that the children would enjoy receiving. For this party, we gifted each child with a drink bottle labelled with motivational tennis quotes tags that I printed on thick card. To make the water bottle labels, I downloaded a tennis wallpaper image and added text in Microsoft Word.![img_20190510_080932_3191926017603388366950.jpg](https://aberrydelight.files.wordpress.com/2019/05/img_20190510_080932_3191926017603388366950-e1557441761919.jpg?w=640)
