At Betti, we're always ready to throw an A+ party. We've thrown dozens of classroom parties and we've seen them all from Back-to-School bashes, 100th Day celebrations, end-of-school carnivals, the list goes on. And because we've planned our fair share of classroom celebrations, we know they can go wrong fast.
Here are our best tips for avoiding some major class party fails and how to plan a great classroom bash or school function.
1. Cut Down on Waste
It pains us to see lengthy lists of food items that we all know are destined for the trash can. Stick to a few food and beverage options to avoid lots of food waste.
2. Cut Down on Sugar
We are all about sweets and treats, but sugar shouldn't be the only thing on the menu. If you are requesting treats or food from parents, be sure to give a list of varied foods that aren't only desserts.
3. Communicate Early & Often!
Parents are busy. Educators are busy. If you are planning a school function or class party and require volunteers or help providing snacks and beverages, partyware, and other items, it's best to request help early and often.
Now that you a few mistakes to avoid, let's focus on the fun part.
1. Pick a Theme
It's an unwritten rule that a great class party starts with a great theme. Before you start planning your next class party, take a moment to think about the reason behind it. What are you celebrating? Is it Valentine’s Day, a time to show appreciation, friendship, and kindness? Or maybe it’s an end-of-year party meant to celebrate achievements and build a sense of togetherness.
Whatever the occasion, keeping the purpose in mind throughout the planning process is key to making the event special.
2. Amp Up the Atmosphere
Transform your classroom into a festive party spot with help from our Back to School Shop. We've curated a sweet collection of partyware, decorations, gifts, accessories, and more perfect for every classroom or school event.

3. Make Memories:
In the end, what kids will remember most isn’t the candy or treats—they’ll cherish the moments of real connection with their teachers and friends. The party should be a chance to create lasting memories, whether through shared experiences, creative activities, fun performances, recognition ceremonies, or just some lighthearted fun.
4. Focus on Fun
Unforgettable moments often come from breaking away from the usual routine, and they don’t have to be extravagant or expensive. Instead of focusing on sugary snacks or lots of food, keep it simple and creative. Choose a theme for the party that lets the kids dress up, make decorations, or enjoy activities related to the theme. This approach adds a special touch without going overboard.
