Yearbook Of The Best Back-To-School Ideas

At Bonjour Fête, back-to-school season is a reason to celebrate! Although it means the end of summer, there’s still an exciting new school year to look forward to. So, whether you’re planning a big bash or just want to make the first day feel special, take notes! Class is in session and we're sharing our fabulously fun back-to-school party ideas and the supplies you need to make this year rule!

The biggest perk of going back to school? All the shopportunities! Since cultivating a shopping list can feel overwhelming, we make it easy by carrying the best back-to-school supplies here

We suggest putting a little surprise in your child’s backpack for them to open on the first day. You can never go wrong with art supplies, so colored markers or mechanical pencils are great gift ideas. Include them with a coloring poster or free-printable coloring page so they have a fun activity to look forward to. With the right supplies and a few surprises, going back to school will feel like a party!

Now that we can check “school supplies” off our list, it’s time to really get the party started! The perfect back-to-school celebration calls for bold colors and school-themed party supplies. 

We recommend starting with a vibrant balloon backdrop and a back-to-school banner. Balloons are grade-A decorations for classrooms or parties. They bring lots of excitement, and they're especially perfect for welcoming new students or capturing first-day-of-school photos.

If you’re interested in extra credit, try adding some honeycomb apple decorations, party fans, or a bus banner to your balloon garland!

When it comes to setting the perfect BTS party table, it doesn't get better than pastels and stripes. We suggest layering our Petal Pink, Sky Blue, and Soleil Yellow Cabana Stripe party supplies with small school-themed embellishments. From glue bottle plates to pencil napkins, there are plenty of cute combinations to try. 

To complete your tablescape, add some bright floral arrangements that complement the array of colors throughout. Finally, tie it all together with some back-to-school flags. They make wonderful party favors or accents to add to your first-day-of-school breakfast table!

No back-to-school party is complete without something sweet to eat. From pencil-shaped sugar cookies to apple-topped cupcakes, there are plenty of A+ desserts you can serve. Be sure to display them on a coordinating cake stand for an extra special touch! 

We hope you’re as excited as we are to get back to school. Here’s to a year full of celebrations and smiles! For more bright ideas, browse the rest of our classroom essentials and fabulous back-to-school party supplies!
