Back to School Parties – Everything you need to know…

What is a Back to School Party?

Back to School Parties are a fun way to celebrate the start of a new school year. Or for your little ones, the start of their first year at school! Back to School Parties can be a great way to mark the end of summer vacations. Plus, it’s a great way to build up some enthusiasm for back to school work! For you and the kids!

How do you throw a Back to School Party?

The Back to School Party is usually held at the end of the Summer holidays, a day or so before school starts. Usually, it’s hosted at home or if you’re lucky with the weather, in your backyard. Usually, you will invite your child’s classmates. And if you have many children, you may want to host a larger party with guests from each of your children’s classes.

Another great thing about Back to School Parties is that they are a great way for kids to reconnect with each other after summer break. Of course, this is perfect for those who might be a little nervous about going back to school.

Back to School Party Ideas

Now, I like this beautiful set up by Sweet Bambini Events. Primary colors blend well with black slates. The apples make a great styling feature and the Back to School backdrop really sets the scene. Look this backdrop for something similar.

Check out this clever table transformation by Lindsay from Midwest Blonde. She turned their dining table into a school bus using a yellow card and some creative crafting skills! I love how it really sets the scene and transforms the space.

Back to School Party Food

Toffee apples, popcorn, sandwiches, and cake are super easy Back to School Party food ideas. Style it up a bit with small lunch boxes or chalkboard style signs. Remember, school meals are usually simple, lunch box style so there’s no need to do anything fancy!

This gorgeous book cupcake is sure to be a winner. And the little ruler above is so cute!

Back to School Party Activities

A Back to School Party can be a great opportunity to capture some cute back to school memories. Take some time to take pictures of the children as a class and individually. Have them hold up a sign that says their year group made a great memory for the parents.

If you’re happy with a little mess, hand prints can be another fun preservation activity. Have the children print their hands on a dated and named piece of paper. You can pull them out every year to see how they grow!

A Back to School Party is a fun tradition to start. After all, your child’s school years are important so why not help create special memories with a great party to kick off the school year!
