Well the kids are getting ready for back to school, and for some they are heading off to college. This can be an exceptionally exciting and terrifying time all at once, and not just for the student’s. Here are some great ideas for hosting a farewell party for your collegiate that will have them feeling ready for the future!
The picture above shows wonderful décor ideas for a college sendoff! The bulletin board back drop and desk great props for this type of party!
Feature a farewell message center at the party so that guests can leave messages to the guest of honor. If ever they are feeling alone while away at school, they can pull these messages out. It’s a great way to send them off with a piece of home and loving words from friends and family that will make them feel special.
As you know a photo booth rental is a great way to capture some really fun moments from loved ones. We found these really cute DIY editable photo props signs that you can customize for your farewell party on the Etsy store for SunshieAndPop.
Be sure to order or put together a photo booth strip album so that your college student can look back at all of the cool pictures that the photo booth captured when they are up and away.
Another great photo booth backdrop idea is to have some fun change of address announcements printed out at your local FedEx, or any place that can enlarge and print on papers. Get the dimensions of the photo booth, or you can use wrapping paper sheets as a guide to get an estimate of what size print will work best with your free standing photo booth, or in the space you are looking to entertain in.
It’s not only an eye-catching as a back drop for photos, but it is completely customizable to your guest of honor. That is after all, what it is all about.
On that note, we love this awesome idea of having a 10 things we love about the guest of honor that they can take with them as wall art. There is such an abundance of chalkboard materials and vinyl which are completely removable and makes them easy to transfer to different locations. If you are worried about it getting damaged or the chalk getting smudged or smeared, get it framed so this keepsake will last forever.
Parent’s, be sure to include a journal like the one we found on JournalingJane, in hopes they will leave you with a nice letter of how much they appreciate you, and are ready for the world thanks to all of your hard work and efforts in their upbringing. Well, OK, maybe not for all that, but it is still a really cute idea for a gift. Love it!
