You're Invited! Party Planning Made Easy!

Everyone at some point in their life wants to have their birthday party at a bowling alley (FatCats!!!) For me that "point" was for my 4th, 9th, 13th & 18th birthday parties! 


Although I had many bowling birthdays and I went out with family and friends all the time, I have only broken over 100 once... Needless to say, I will NOT be instructing how to bowl. Parties? I definitely know parties!


Through a series of blogs I will take you through the steps of a perfect FatCats bowling party. 


FatCats can provide an awesome time for birthdays, corporate events, team building, social events, company parties, school events...you name it, we'll do it!


The first step in planning the perfect FatCats party is to call our fun center and speak to an Events Manager.

Our Events Managers are there to help you every step of the way - making party planning fun and easy! After you've scheduled the perfect time and day, you'll need invitations!


If you have too much on your plate and don't have time to make your own invitations, don't worry! On the FatCats website you can print "fill-it-in" party invitations. Click here

BUT if you are a do-it-yourself/way too much on your plate/want to do it all (Ahem, MOM!...), here is a super cute idea for your bowling party invitations:


Items needed:
color CD sleeves                 colored card stock
scissors/paper cutter           pencil
marker (black/white/red)      ruler
glue stick

Step one. Cut card stock into 4 3/4" diameter (makes a square to fit inside your CD sleeves)

Step two. Use a pencil to outline finger holes, name of person invited and their address (if mailing). If you are hand delivering, use wording instead. example:  "Let's have a ball!" (for more ideas, see bottom of blog)

Step three. Trace over pencil marks with dark marker. Use a white tipped marker on black paper.

Step four. Cut a different colored card stock for the invitation info (back) into 4" diameter

Step five. Write party info on 4" square then glue onto the front card stock paper. 

Step six. For a decorative touch, use white paper to cut out a bowling pin and glue onto invitation (use red marker to draw red lines)

If you plan to mail your invitations, extra postage may be required (due to size and shape of CD sleeve). Make sure to put your return address on the back.
