Colorful and Bright Back to School Party

Hi! I’m Miranda from Whimsically Detailed and I am beyond thrilled to be a guest here on Giggles Galore! This Back To School Event that I’m sharing with you today is a very special event that really touched my heart. I was over the moon excited to have been given the opportunity to provide such an enormous gift to all these wonderful children.

Last year I had the pleasure of putting together a Back To School Party for a local women’s shelter, Visitation House they are such a blessing for the women and their children!  For more  information about the organization and it’s history click here.

I planned a Back to School theme since the children were about to start school and I had wanted them to start with lots of new items! I created a fabric bunting for the table along with props to hold up the treats. I purchased the papier-mâché books from Hobby Lobby and spray painted them to match the theme. I hot glued them together to help them stay in a stacking place. I also used scrapbook paper on the cupcake stand to match as well! Painted berry baskets held many treats and I even had some cardboard building blocks sent to me that I glued together and used as the cake pop stand! While at Hobby Lobby I found these huge pencils that I used on either side of the table too! My favorite part of the children’s table were the chalkboard placemats that the kids could doodle on at their pleasure and the gumball tubes that looked like pencils. They even had favor boxes shaped like apples and school buses that contained even more treats. Each child also received their own personalized backpack filled with lots of school supplies. All in all I think they were set for school!

My photographer friend Sandra from Sandra Bludau Photography offered her assistance and took photos that day and even got her sister and nieces to join in and help with set up. Thank you again to everyone who made this happen. Planning an event for that many children is no small task.  Thank to the many who donated money and products, ALL without a blink of an eye for a group of children they will never meet. We all understand that when we change one child’s view of the world we changes hundred’s more down the line.
