How to throw a British Open-themed party this weekend

The Open Championship, golf’s final major tournament of the season, is coming up this weekend.

Whether you’re a big golf fan or not, the British Open is a great opportunity to gather with friends and family.

Here are ideas for a golf-themed party that will delight people of all ages and interest levels.

Decorations for golf party

Transform your home into a golfers’ paradise with these creative, vibrant decorations.

  • Flower centerpiece: Create a stunning centerpiece by filling a clear vase with golf balls and then sticking in flowers. This eye-catching display will be the focal point of your table. Here’s a beautiful example from Pinterest.
  • Party banner: String together mini golf balls or golf ball-shaped cutouts to create a festive banner. Hang it above your main party area to add sporty flair to the celebration. If you’re not in the mood for DIY, here’s a $4.99 golf-themed party banner you can get from Amazon.
  • Golf napkins: Choose napkins with golf-themed designs. Here are some creative options, decorated with balls and flags, from Oriental Trading.
  • Table runner: A green table runner will tie together the meal visually. You can make one yourself with green felt or artificial turf or you can buy one online. Here’s a $12.99 option from Amazon.
  • Golf-themed music: Keep the party ambience festive and golf-themed by listening to music that celebrates golf. Yatta Golf suggests “Straight Down the Middle” by Bing Crosby, “Double Bogey Blues” by Mickey Jones and “I Hate Golf, But I Still Love to Play” by Ivan Peralta. Spotify has golf-themed playlists available, too.
