If you are hosting a back-to-school party for your kids, follow these easy do’s and dont’s for a successful fun-filled party.
Party Do’s & Don’ts
- Do not assume that your child’s friends from last school year will be the same one this year. Over the summer and during the first week of school kids develop new friendships. Be sure to involve your child. Ask them who they want to invite and go from there.
- Do plan on entertainment that is age appropriate. Choose a type of entertainment that your kids and their peers will enjoy. Nothing is worse then hiring a magician or a clown and hearing your tween complain about how lame and uncool the entertainment was and how they really wanted karaoke. To avoid this situation, ask your child what type of entertainment they want.
- Don’t think you have to spend a lot of money. You can throw a cool dance party by using your home stereo system and your teens ipod.
- DO get other parents involved.
- Don’t forget some type of party favor. I suggest cool school supplies, notebooks, pen, erasers, add some candy and stickers tuck them all into sporty binder.
Easy To Do Party Ideas
It doesn’t take a lot to throw a back to school party. You can throw a fun party at your home in the backyard. Hold the party at your local bowling alley or arcade. Or you can do like a few of my friends do — after their daughters have been in school for a few weeks, they hire a limo and take the girls and their friends shopping for more back-to-school clothes. They started this when they girls were about eleven and now at fifteen the girls can’t wait to have their back-to-school shopping party. Back to school parties are great fun for kids. A new school years bring new friends and new parents together. These back to school parties are a great way for parents to get to know one another.
