Ladies Tennis Banquets

Top 5 things to make your Ladies Tennis Banquet Succeed 

 1. Location Location Location.... a beautiful setting brightens every event.  Find a nice club or hotel in your area.  I personally prefer the club route, it just seems cozier.  Think about your decor make it tennis pretty~ Give center pieces away to your team captains, this is a wonderful way to honor them for all the work they do throughout the year. 

2. Wine and Champagne!!!!  This is a must, not only for the sheer enjoyment of it, but it may increase your raffle ticket sales.  Which ultimately helps you raise more money for charities.  Wine and lunch is always a recipe for a a successful ladies party!   

3. Entertainment.... I personally enjoy when teams or a combination of teams get together and do a skit or sing a song.  I'm also a big fan of the purse scavenger hunt~ just what all do sassy tennis ladies keep in their purse???? Hilarious fun... wine opener, bobby pin, stick matches, baby diaper, cigar, condom, a tennis ball holder,  make it funny and silly it brings out the competitive crazy women as they are digging through their purses.  This game just never gets old.  :)

4. Party favors... Everyone should walk away with a little something.  A Tervis tennis tumbler, a can of balls, a tennis towel.  This year we received a tennis tape measurer!!! This is a must have for every ladies tennis bag and was a huge hit with all of the ladies.  Read earlier article "Get Real with your Tennis Bags Ladies!!"

5. Raffles and Give~Aways.  Raffles are a perfect way to add excitement and get the competitive spirit going in the room.  It makes everyone cheer with excitement as their number is pulled from the bag!  It is a wonderful way to raise money for charities.  Let your winning teams select the charities that receive the donations  or let the team in charge of the raffle select the recipients.  http://tennis-speak.blogspot.com/2013/05/tennis-banquet-helps-local-charities.html  Read earlier article that demonstrates just how much donations from your tennis banquet can help your local charities.
