At Seattle Balloon Artist, we believe balloon décor brings a lively and cheerful touch to every back-to-school moment. From colorful balloon arches welcoming students on the first day to photo-friendly garlands for open houses, we design displays that match the energy of the season.

We work with you to highlight your school’s unique spirit through creative, eye-catching balloon displays fit for any occasion.
Kick Off the School Year with Colorful Celebrations
As the new school year begins, it’s a great opportunity for schools to plan activities that bring excitement, connection, and a welcoming atmosphere. At Seattle Balloon Artist, we love helping schools bring these moments to life with creative balloon décor. Here are a few fun ideas to add to your back-to-school planning list:
Big Moments on Campus Deserve a Bold Welcome
Back to college is more than just moving into dorms and stocking up on textbooks, it’s a time filled with energy, anticipation, and new beginnings. Whether it’s welcoming freshmen, reuniting returning students, or kicking off campus events, there are plenty of ways to make this season exciting. At Seattle Balloon Artist, we help colleges and universities set the tone with fun, eye-catching balloon décor that adds color and spirit to the experience.
Think balloon arches for move-in day photo ops, custom garlands for orientation events, or school-color balloon walls for student union gatherings and welcome-back fairs. Greek life events, club showcases, and game-day rallies are also great opportunities to use balloons to draw attention and create festive spaces that invite connection. With designs that can reflect campus culture and student pride, balloon décor adds a playful and welcoming vibe to this important chapter. We’re here to help you bring that energy to life on campus.
What is considered back to school?
Back to school typically refers to the time when students, teachers, and staff return after summer break to begin a new academic year. This period often includes school registration, orientation events, meet-the-teacher nights, and first-day celebrations. It's also a popular time for schools to organize fun and welcoming activities, which makes it a great opportunity for balloon décor to bring excitement and school spirit to campus.
What to say to kids going back to school?
Positive and encouraging messages can help ease first-day jitters and build confidence. Try saying things like:
- “You’re going to do great this year!”
- “I’m so proud of you.”
- “Have fun and be yourself!”
- “This is a fresh start—enjoy it!”
Pairing kind words with a cheerful surprise like balloons can also make the day extra special.
Am I too old to go back to school?
Absolutely not! Learning has no age limit. Whether you're pursuing a new career, finishing a degree, or simply following a passion, going back to school as an adult is something to be proud of. Celebrating this milestone with balloons is a fun way to mark a new chapter and remind yourself how exciting growth and change can be.
