It's never too early to start planning a party.

I have about 500 old baseball cards. I already took them to a trusted dealer to see about their value and the goods ones have been picked out. When I brought them back home I got the idea that I would have a baseball theme for my 27 year old sons birthday party in July. I thought I would have baseball food like hot-dogs and nachos. There is a baseball hat collection around this house from every place we have ever visited. There are a few wiffel balls and a big chunky plastic bat around here so they can play some sort of baseball game. Now, what shall I do with the baseball cards? Other then scattering them here and there. Any ideas??

I'm presuming these aren't of any monetary value right? Do you want to keep them for sentimental purposes?

If not what about using them as the front of the invitation?

The cards have no value so I can cut them up and do whatever with them. I wanted to make some sort of decoration with them and maybe some sort of party favor. It will just be a family party with about 20 people, kids and adults

if you have duplicates you can play a matching game with them. you know:turn all the cards so the player's picture is facing down. them turn over two cards on each turn and try to make a match. like memory, yeah that's it, memory. this will work well for kids and some playful adults as well. hope this helps! oh, and for dessert, you should make a baseball cake and serve round scoops of vanilla icecream with red licorice pieces or piped frosting for the laces, or binding stiches.
