#NegroLeagueBaseball

When Jason and Arlisha approached Events by Zanette to plan their son Graham’s first birthday party, they had a specific vision in mind. As a historian and published author, Arlisha wanted to pay homage to the rich history of Negro League Baseball. With this in mind, Events by Zanette designed a unique and unforgettable party that transported guests back in time to the heyday of baseball.

The decor was the key to making this party truly special. To set the mood, baseball paper lanterns hung from the ceiling of the tent, adding a touch of nostalgia to the event. The dessert table was the centerpiece of the party, featuring a custom scoreboard sign named Bugle Field, which was the name of the stadium where the Baltimore Black Sox played. The table was also adorned with custom Cracker Jack boxes labeled “Graham’s 1st Birthday” and baseball bubble gum, which were a hit with guests. Baseball cap favor boxes were made for the children, each representing a Negro League Team along with the logo and matching colors of the team. The tables were decorated with white tablecloths and baseball tape that made them look like baseballs. The green wall was available for guests to take pictures, featuring a custom wood baseball sign with Graham’s name and Negro League baseball game posters. The food labels were displayed with burlap frames and baseball place card holders, while a custom high chair sign with baseball ribbon, burlap, and custom name ribbon was made for Graham.

Adult tables had navy tablecloths with burlap table runners, and brown wood planter boxes trimmed with ivory and red striped ribbon with a Negro League Logo in the center. The planters had lush hydrangeas, spray roses, and hypericum berries. Delicious food and drinks were served, including hot dogs, popcorn, and peanuts, which were classic baseball snacks. A custom baseball-themed cake was made for Graham, which was the perfect way to end the festivities.

Events by Zanette did an amazing job creating an unforgettable first birthday party for Graham. The attention to detail and commitment to bringing the vision to life is what makes Events by Zanette stand out as a luxury event planning and design company.
