How to Throw the Ultimate Sportsish Wimbledon Watch Party
Because the only thing better than Centre Court drama is watching it with snacks, sips, and style.
The Vibe
Wimbledon is everything we love, sports, fashion, a little bit of drama, and food! It’s one of the most iconic tennis tournament’s in the world, so we figure it definitely deserves a party to celebrate it. Sportsish style! You’ll need your friends, a cute outfit, and lots of strawberries! This isn’t your average sports party. Think: Serena at brunch. Princess Di in a visor. A touch of Royal Box energy with a side of champagne.
The Invites
Of course you’ll need invites but don’t stress, we’ve got you covered. We designed ours to feel just like the event: chic, classy, regal… you name it. Opening this invite should feel like scoring the golden ticket to the most fabulous watch party of the summer.
With a clean white-and-green color scheme, cheeky tennis puns, and just the right amount of glam, these invites instantly set the tone: Wimbledon, but make it Sportsish.
Dress Code: Wimbledon Whites
Ask your guests to dress in all white (tennis chic encouraged). Just remember— the chicer the better. This is your moment to finally buy that pricey reformation outfit you’ve been eyeing for months!
Make sure to include categories for prizes: Best Dressed, Best Duo Look, Most Likely to Get Invited to the Royal Box.
Personally, we’re trying to score a seat next to Zendaya and Tom Holland this year.
Make Your Snack Game, Match, Point
Of course, you’ll be having so much fun you’ll probably be working up an appetite. Time to get creative with the “courtside cravings.” It’s not a party without themed bites.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to food from the other side of the pond, but here are some of our Sportsish favorites.
If you’re keeping it simple, just make sure you have the Big Three:
Strawberries & Cream (obviously), biscuits or cookies with jam (bonus points if they’re tennis racket–shaped), and Pimm’s Punch (the official drink of Wimbledon and brunch queens everywhere).
Feeling extra? Go full Grand Slam with: Tea Sandwiches, Mini Quiches, and Love-40 Lemonade
The Setup
Whether you’re hosting outside at golden hour or keeping things cozy indoors, the vibe should be fun, fab, and a little bit fancy. Bonus points if you throw your party on an actual tennis court! Iconic behavior.
Level it up with a photo booth backdrop featuring tennis props, vintage visors, and a cutout of the Wimbledon trophy (yes, please). Everyone deserves their champion moment.
Between-Set Fun
Keep the energy up between sets with these easy, on-theme party games:
Wimbledon Bingo – Spot a celeb in the Royal Box, a dramatic racket smash, or some iconic grunting. Bonus square: Nick Kyrgios doing… anything Nick Kyrgios does.
Match Predictions – Put your tennis knowledge (or lucky guesses) to the test: pick the winner, final score, or number of aces served.
Best Dressed Award – You have to honor the fashion MVP. A mini trophy works, but if you’re feeling extra? A Ralph Lauren gift card is the ultimate ace.
Because at Sportsish, we love a little friendly competition — on and off the court.
Party Favors Worthy of a Grand Slam
You guys. We’ve been scouring the internet and found the most iconic gift: chocolate tennis balls that come in a can and look shockingly real. Like… too cute to eat.
Other fun favor ideas: Tiny tennis ball candles, Wimbledon-themed stickers, Strawberry-scented lip balm (because strawberries & cream, obviously). Is it a little extra? Yes. But so Sportsish. And your guests will love you forever.
Final Serve
We cannot wait to see what you come up with! Whether you're here for the aces, the fashion, or just the strawberries, there's truly something for everyone at a Wimbledon watch party.
So throw on your cutest tennis skirt, grab your girls, and serve up the party of the summer. And don’t forget to tag us. We want to see every outfit, snack board, and Primm’s Punch toast.
