Crazy to believe our sweet boy turned one last month! Time flew with Rosie but I swear it’s going even faster with the Jet! I find myself trying to be as present as possible these days, and soaking up as many moments with the babies as I can. I know I’ll blink and Jet will be talking and walking…
A few months before Jet’s birthday we were trying to decide what kind of party to throw him, how many people to invite, and even asked y’all who we should be inviting to kid’s parties—if it’s just the parents and the kids, or the whole fam?! So many mixed responses haha so we ended up inviting all our close friends and fam and decided on a Hole in One/golf theme! Ted loves golf as y’all all know lol but we also thought it would be special to honor my dad since this year is the 10th anniversary of his passing and he was also a big golfer. Katy and I have an old set of his clubs that we knew we wanted to incorporate somehow too.
The theme was so fitting and our vision totally came to life, thanks to the help of a planner I used starting about a month and a half before Jet’s birthday. We worked together to make sure vendors were secured, everything was ordered and invites were sent. We use paperless invites sent through Evite! I started pinning some stuff to my Pinterest board too to pull some inspo. Rosie’s first birthday was a rose garden theme, so this was our first boy birthday party we’ve had to plan. Needed all the help we could get!
Sharing party details below to give y’all some ideas if you’re looking to throw a golf themed par-tee in the future!
With the Masters wrapping up right before Jet’s birthday, we had the idea to dress him in a green little Masters blazer! We found this one on Etsy for him, then added the hat and this bodysuit/suspender set from Katy underneath!
We decided to go with the caddy outfits for the rest of the fam, and found those on Etsy too! We asked our guests to dress in country club/golf clothes and loved seeing the outfits people came wearing!

Choose Evite SignUp Sheets for the easiest, most streamlined way to get volunteers and signups for your next event!
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, SignUp Sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
