Back-to-School

Back to School…this phrase has been a constant for me for most of my life. Many may not know, but I was an elementary school teacher. When I created this party package, I was inspired by bright bold colors and cute craft projects. This theme is young at heart, but it can still please an adult eye with its clean graphic patterns. It is the ‘I heart School’ Back to school pack, and pardon my pun but it is ‘chalk’ full of fun ideas!

A vintage, prep-school-inspired theme based on my son Dean’s name. 

This was a “First Day of School Celebration Dinner” I hosted for my twin girls to celebrate their first day of 2nd Grade.  Another family joined us for a fun evening.  This is the third year I’ve had a dinner like this and it’s a great way to celebrate the first day of a new school year.

I had a back-to-school dinner to celebrate my girls first day of first grade. I used vintage books to make the decorations, including a banner, garlands and origami flowers. I also stacked vintage books on the table as a centerpiece and mixed vintage china on the table.
