Back To School Bash Inspiration

Some of you have already started school, and some, like us in the Seattle area don't start until after Labor Day.  Want to throw a end of summer soiree to get the kids back into the school groove? There are so many interesting directions to take your Back To School party's theme; normally it's about using school supplies and such for a more generic feel.

But no one said you couldn't focus on an aspect of school like a school bus or your child's favorite subject. Here are a few inspiration boards to...inspire you. And the beauty of it all, you can mix and match to your heart's delight. Not Just A Mommy!Apple
This icon never goes out of style. Candy Apple cupcakes from Women's World; apple yarn favors from Make and Takes; teacher themed baby shower from Bower and Power. School Bus
Check out this awesome inspiration board from Divine Party Concepts; how perfect would this be for a Get On The Bus theme for first-time riders, a.k.a. Kindergartners. Chalk/chalkboard
Seating labels from PubSub; chalkboard tabletop from Martha Stewart Weddings; Fancy Flours' cupcake picks; sidewalk chalk favors from Mighty Girl ; a fun photo op like this speech bubble photo booth from Junebug Weddings. Art/Crayons
Art party inspiration board from The Party Dress; paint bucket decor from Maddycakes Muse; Picasso party from BHG; Lizard N Ladybugs' pretzel crayons. Science
Test tube favors from Following Phubie; Cookie Mag's radioactive wrap; science experiments at The Celebration Shoppe; Living Locurto's mad scientist invites. Alphabet/Letters
Letter chandelier from Blonde Design; initial party from Martha Stewart; One Charming Party's flower centerpiece; the Hostess Blog's alphabet baby shower; alphabet invite from City Cradle. Reading/Books
Books can be for decor or serve as the theme. This book party from Ashley Ann asked guest to bring books to donate to children at a local hospital; Food For Thought's storybook baby shower; Curious George inspired birthday party at the Hostess Blog; a pretty centerpiece from Martha Stewart Weddings; Pat The Bunny baby shower at The Smith Family. Geography
Check out my post on a 'Where In The World' themed party; A. Party Style's party place setting; Cookie Mag's globe cake. Breakfast/Snack Time
What's more quintessentially 'school' than milk & cookies for snack? Plan a whole party around it; check out my post on cookie buffets. How in love am I with The Purple Pug's breakfast bar; it makes a perfect neighborhood Back To School party. Wanting to do something simplier? Donuts, juice and milk are always appreciated, but take your donuts to a classy level by displaying them on a nice stand. Or personalize individual packages with a fun logo like this one from Got 2 Have Faith.
