US OPEN PARTY IDEAS TO THROW THE BEST TENNIS PARTY!
The best US Open Party ideas that will help you throw a great tennis party.
Perfect tennis party ideas for your US Open Watch Party.
Game, set, match! The US Open is HERE! For the next three weekends, the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in NYC will be rocking!
Each year, the U.S. Open tennis championship takes place in New York City at the end of August. One of the greatest sporting events of the year, it is open to both amateur and professional players, hence the name U.S. Open.
The tennis match is also one of the grand slam tennis championships and many tennis greats have been crowned as open winners.
In recent years, a ticket to the US Open ticket has become a hot commodity. And the grounds of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center turn into quite the party.
Part of the fun is imbibing in the official cocktail of the US Open, the Honey Deuce. According to Sportico, 556,782 Honey Deuce signature cocktails were sold during the 2024 tournament, which was a 26 percent increase over 2023.
And did I mention the Honey Deuce cocktails are $23 a pop? That’s more than $12.8 million in revenue. Now that really is a party! An expensive party!
IN CASE YOUR TICKETS TO THE OPEN GOT LOST IN THE MAIL …
While you may not be able to make it Flushing Meadows to view the matches or the finals in Arthur Ashe Stadium, you can bring the US Open party vibe to your home. And I’ve got some ideas that are great for your US Open viewing party. You’ll have (almost) as much fun, without ever leaving your house!
Hosting a U.S. Open watch party at home is all about elevating the details. My curated collection of chic tennis-inspired décor will make entertaining both effortless and elegant. Think crisp green-and-white accents, classic stripes, and subtle nods to the court—woven napkins, polished glassware, and serving trays that double as style statements. Add fresh flowers for a refined touch, and you have the perfect balance of sporty sophistication.
Whether it’s a casual gathering or a more polished affair, my thoughtfully chosen pieces will transform any space into a winning celebration. It’s a grand slam in entertaining, right from your living room.

US OPEN TENNIS PARTY IDEA ONE: CREATE THE PERFECT SET!
The start of a great party is to set the scene. And I just love each of these pieces. From the monogrammed tennis dress cocktail napkins, to the adorable table runner, to the oh-so perfect placemats … you’ll score points with each and every one.
This tennis table runner is SO adorable! It’s linen, so it has an expensive feel to it and will look great, especially if you pair it with a white tablecloth. What a great pop of color!
Okay, these tennis dress cocktail napkins are simply the cutest!!! And they can be monogrammed. What a great hostess gift (or gift to yourself).
These tennis court placemats are also a great addition to any table. I just love them.
This tennis motif tablecloth is another accessory I found and love. I really try to stay away from disposable table linens. Not only do they look cheap, they are really bad for the environment. This tennis tablecloth can be used year after year. The colors and the big rackets are a graphical pattern that is just modern and cute, without being silly! Totally my style.
These tennis ball cocktail napkins are also a great addition to any US Open party. You don’t have to go overboard with dozens of decor items. Just buy a few pieces to create a great tablescape. Maybe these tennis ball napkins and the tennis court placemats. Or the tennis dress cocktail napkins and the tennis tablecloth.
All of these pieces can be mixed and matched!
US OPEN TENNIS PARTY IDEA TWO: CHOOSE THE RIGHT RACKET!
The center of attention for any US Open party is going to be watching the actual tournament itself. So, you want to plan your menu around the fact you’ll likely be gathered around a screen
This tennis racket charcuterie board is perfect for every US Open celebration. It’s great to hold tidbits and appetizers, finger sandwiches or whatever appetizers you’re planning to serve.
These tennis ball and tennis racket cheese spreaders are also a great addition to any US Open party. Plus, the set of four is less than $15!
Be sure to check out these tennis ball tidbit plates! Love them. And you’ll use them year after year. They are much more sturdier than paper plates. And better for the environment as well!
If you’re serving tidbits, you need these bamboo cocktail picks. The trio of tennis balls on the top make them simply adorable. And they’re less than $10 for more than 100 picks!
As you may have noticed, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE embroidered cocktail napkins. I love them for myself, I love them for friends, I love them as hostess gifts … How damn funny are these embroidered cocktail napkins with the “over served” sentiment! I can’t wait to gift a set of these! They are a must!
Pair the tennis ball tidbit plates with the table runner or tablecloth I previously mentioned and you’ve got a winning combination!
US OPEN TENNIS PARTY IDEA THREE: A GREAT “SERVE” IS ESSENTIAL!
Okay … I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw some of these items. They are just off the charts on the cuteness meter!
First, this martini glass! How great is it? Well … really great. With its tennis ball detail, it’s a total ace! They’re perfect for a Honey Deuce or any other libations your guests may be drinking.
I also “love” these tennis court and tennis ball food boats, perfect for a casual affair. For some more formal, check out these salad plates and stemless wine glasses! Great for cocktails and soft drinks too!
US OPEN TENNIS PARTY IDEA FOUR: THE HONEY DEUCE IS A GREAT COCKTAIL MATCH
The honey deuce is the official drink of the US Open and has been served at the tournament for more than 20 years.
A refreshing combination of Grey Goose vodka, Chambord and lemonade, it’s the perfect libation for every tennis soiree.
The best part of these signature cocktails are their garnish, honeydew melon balls that look like mini tennis balls.
The honey deuce is just one of the US open tennis drinks they’re offering this year. Others include the Watermelon Slice and the ever-popular Aperol Spritz.
We have the PERFECT Honey Deuce cocktail recipe right here! You can also discover my favorite Aperol Spritz recipe here.
