Back-to-School Party Inspiration

With only a few more weeks until we get back into the school routines, I have been trying to come up with some fun ideas for helping my rising preschooler and 1st grader celebrate BACK TO SCHOOl. Will I have time to do a party...not sure. But, I did put together this inspiration board to help inspire you. Even if you don't want to host a party, there are some great ideas for things that you can do to make going to back school special. Enjoy!

School supplies are great for dressing up a table for your back-to-school celebration. You can group crayons, pencils, rulers, apples and others items together and display them in clear containers for a completed look.



These DIY mini blackboards would be perfect for place cards on the table (Canadian House and Home). How cute is this idea from Merry B Events: use inexpensive crayon/supply boxes to serve each child's lunch in. Tuck a sandwich, some fruit, a drink, and a little snack into each one and it's good to go.

And finally, if you want to send your guests home with a little something in hand, you can hand out backpack tags (Bushel and Peck Paper), lunch bag labels, stickers (Marth Stewart), or some age-appropiate flashcards or a game (The Land of Nod).
