A Peek at the Fun: If you want to celebrate the end of another school year with the kids, this School’s Out Summer Party is fun, simple and can be thrown in your own backyard. We’ve got food ideas, summer party decorations, activities, and invitations! 

Summertime!! It’s something we both love! We love being with our boys, spending time at the pool, lazy afternoons, summer treats, warm weather, backyard BBQs, the list could go on.  And on and on. 

As summer approached this year we decided to celebrate with a great big School’s Out Party! This Splash into Summer Party for our kids and their friends on the last day of school was a huge hit! We invited everyone over and had candy, food, water games, fun drinks and a great time to officially kick off summer break.

Kids School's Out Party for SummerEven though it ended up being a little bit chilly that day (lame!), the kids had an absolute blast and didn’t even mind getting wet. This summer party was perfect to kick off summer break!

Here’s a peek at some of the fun we planned for our Splash into Summer School’s Out Party and ideas for you to use to throw your own.

Kids Summer Party

School’s Out Splash Into Summer Party:

Summer Party Invitations:

We started out by inviting everyone over with cute summer party invitations and water guns. We just tied the cute little invitations to the water guns (you can grab cheap ones from the dollar store). It’s a fun twist on a regular invitation that will get the kids excited and it’s super simple to do! You can download and customize these invitations for your party here.

Grab these: Summer Party Invitations

Splash into Summer Party Invitations & Printables:

To use these you will just need to right-click the image and save it to your computer. Then open in a program like Word or Pages and size to whatever size you prefer and print. Or, we’ve got PDFs with some of the images ready to go.

Pick and choose what you want to use.

Here’s a sample of what the invitation will look like when you add text to it. (The font I used for the additional text in this is Sorry Not Sorry Chub which you can download free at dafont.com. Or use any font you want!)

Here’s the blank one for your to customize. Don’t know how to customize your own? We’ll walk you through it here.

Summer Party Decorations:

Our goal was to make this school’s out party bright, colorful, cheerful and fun. We started with a fun Balloon Backdrop just to give it a huge pop of color.

The balloon backdrop was fun to make and turned out so cute! Want to make one for your own party? We have a tutorial here: Tutorial for Balloon Backdrop

On our table we decorated with candy (because really, what kid doesn’t want candy at a party!):

Lots of candy!

We also have some fun signs and posters for you.

(Here’s your PDF that has three of them ready, or right click and save to your computer, then you can open and customize.) The font I used, if you want to use the same is KG Summer Storm.

Summer Party Favors:

We had cute little bags and boxes for the kids to fill with a variety of candy. If you prefer you can have the bags or boxes already filled and just have a cute little tag on them to use as party favors:

Summer Party Food:

Our kids had just a short day of school for the last day, so we wanted to feed them at this school’s out party. We thought it would be fun to create little box lunches for the kids-they are fun and functional!

Fun Summer Party Idea

We created a cute little box for the bottom from bright colored cardstock and a cardboard bottom, then filled them with a sandwich, bag of chips, water bottle (with a cute printable wrapper which you can grab here) and a squirt gun and fun straw.

Summer Party Drink Station for Kids:

We also wanted part of the party to involve letting the kids create their own fun, summery mixed drinks. (Mostly because we think drink stations are fun! And our kids LOVE making their own drinks.) 

You could use these for a kids party of any sort-something summery, a birthday party, or just to have a fun day with the kids! All you need is a bunch of fun drink stuff for the kids to mix however they want. To make it extra fun we added lots of bright colors and fun straws and balloons and tons of fun!

Kids Party Drink Station with Fun Punch Recipes for Kids

We made a full party spread of sodas, juices, flavors and even Pop Rocks for them to have fun creating!

School’s Out Summer Party Activities:

We also threw some colorful and fun toys on the table-water guns, bubble wands, sidewalk chalk, and silly string so the kids could have fun just playing in the yard.
