Happy National Pickleball Day!

Love is in the air — and so are perfectly placed third shot drops.

At the Carolina Weddings Show, we’ve seen it all — but nothing makes us smile like a couple who adds their personality to their big day. And if pickleball is your shared obsession (or maybe your love story started on the court?), there are plenty of ways to serve up a wedding day with serious pickleball flair.

Here are some of our favorite pickleball-inspired wedding trends to celebrate the sport and your love story:

🎾 1. Paddle-Inspired Save the Dates

Think mini paddles, court diagrams, or a “let’s volley forever” slogan on your stationery. You can even use pickleball-themed magnets for a save-the-date that sticks.

💍 2. Pickleball-Themed Engagement Shoots

Swap the scenic park for your favorite pickleball court! Matching jerseys, a net backdrop, and some playful paddle poses make for one-of-a-kind engagement photos.

🥂 3. Signature Cocktails with a Pickleball Twist

Serve up drinks like “The Dinker,” “Smash & Sip,” or “The Paddle Punch.” Garnish with pickle-shaped swizzle sticks or name your cocktail menu after pickleball terms.

🎁 4. Fun Favors

Pickleball paddle keychains, custom sweatbands, or mini jars of pickles with clever tags like “We’re kind of a big dill” make for unforgettable guest gifts.

🧁 5. Themed Dessert Table

Add a little court-side flair to your sweets! Cookies shaped like paddles, cupcakes with mini nets, or a wedding cake topper featuring you both in athletic gear? Game on.

📸 6. Paddle Guest Book

Have guests sign a custom paddle instead of a traditional guest book. Hang it in your home later as a reminder of your day and your shared love of the game.

💃 7. Themed Dance Floor

Create a custom vinyl dance floor that mimics a pickleball court. Who says the first dance can’t be followed by a quick rally?

Want to Plan a Wedding That’s So You?

Come to the Carolina Weddings Show where you’ll find vendors who love when couples add personality to their day — even if that means coordinating paddle colors with bridesmaid dresses.

And hey, whether you met at open play, fell in love over a fierce mixed doubles match, or just spend Saturdays on the courts together, your wedding should reflect it.

So raise your paddle and toast to love, laughter, and lots of dinks.
