Handmade Basketball Party Favors

Score a slam dunk with partygoers via a winning basketball party, one that features lots of awesome handmade party favors.

Hosts should have no trouble formulating a game plan for homemade party favors at a Basketball party. They could include some yummy dessert treats such as pumpkin cookies with chocolate icing flourishes, prepared to resemble basketballs, or doughnut balls with any flavor, coated with icing of chocolate and orange butter cream. These edible favors could be served in netted goodie bags that resemble basketball nets—with the ends closed, of course, so the treats won’t fall out the bottom!

Handmade party favors for a basketball party also could feature a hand sewn or carved basketball, given in a goodie bag that bears the logos of famous basketball teams, or bouncy balls offered up in a hand sewn net favor bag that resembles a basketball net—but again, with the end closed!

Homemade party favors are only one component of a great basketball party. The host also could post posters and portraits of legendary basketball players—ranging from Michael Jordan to Sheryl Swoopes, Shaquille O’Neal to Reggie Miller—on the walls, hanging real basketballs and basketball nets from the ceilings. A makeshift scoreboard could count down the minutes to the party, and a basketball court mural would make guests feel that they are actually at a game.

Hosts can take a full court shot at the ultimate basketball party, complete with a full array of handmade party favors.
