Here is a bright and colorful back to school party inspired by all the colors you find in school supplies.

This new school year is very special to me because my son is starting kindergarten, and my daughter is going to preschool. I know back to school is usually hectic and full of to-do lists, but I want to pause for a moment and celebrate these milestones. Plus, I like to party and use any excuse to do so.

Invite

This colorful invitation from Etsy captures it all! Right?

Decor

Let’s begin with the balloon backdrop. Because this little party would not be as cute without all the color. Here is the step-by-step tutorial to make your own.

Most of the little details are things I picked up from bullseyes playground at Target and the back to school area. I am a big fan of decorating the party table with useful things that you can keep and reuse instead of one-time decor that you throw away. The little plants are very versatile, and the crayons fill the gaps to add color.

One of my favorite things about this party is this Printable Back to School Placemat. All you need to do is download, print, and color.

Use ribbon to tie the crayons and add even more color to the kid’s table.

Activities

I love marking new milestones or moments with books. So, I used the Printable Back to School Placemat design to wrap books. School supplies are small, so this wrapping paper is also perfect for wrapping any back to school surprise. Finally, use ribbon and a gift tag to complete the look.

Also, use the placemats to doodle. Read some back to school books and use this party as a perfect time to talk about the new school year.

Lunch Bag

For lunch, make your favorite school meal. I love simple sandwiches, chips, fruit, apple juice or milk. For a treat, try these Easy-Peasy Back to School Sugar Cookies. They are seriously easy and delicious! Plus, there is no icing required.
