How To Throw The Best Back To School Bash!

We can’t believe it’s that time of year again! With school right around the corner, we are sharing a few ideas to throw the best back to school bash. Invite your new classmates over to soak up the last days of summer!

Food & Drink

  • Lemonade Stand: This fun take on a classic summer activity will not only be a hit at your party, but it will be a cute and interactive point of your party. We recommend including regular and pink lemonade with a few different fruit toppings like strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Grab some cute mason jar cups and straws to complete your stand!

    For adult lemonade, add your favorite vodka or tequila, we recommend Tito’s or Deep Eddy Tea Vodka for a fun take on a John Daly.

  • BBQ: When we think of summer, backyard BBQ comes to mind! BBQ is easy and a crowd pleaser with plenty of options for even the pickiest eaters. We recommend picking up catering from Smoke Shack BBQ! Their catering menu has tons of options and gives you one less thing to do for your party.

Decor

  • Balloon Garland: Balloon garland is an easy way to spruce up your event. You can easily do it yourself with kits from Amazon, or purchase your own balloons and find DIY tutorials on YouTube! 

  • Stores like Target and Walmart have really great and affordable party decor! From banners, to themed plates, they have plenty of options that won’t break the bank. 

Entertainment

Just because school is back doesn’t mean this summer heat is gone! Keep your back to school bash cool by incorporating fun activities like water slides, slip n slides, or water balloon fights. Other fun activities that both kids and adults will enjoy include lawn games such as corn hole, giant jenga, and connect four.
