End-of-Summer Party Planning in the D.M.V: Back-to-School Made Delicious

Stylish Grazing, Signature Sips, and Sweet Memories with District Boards

Back-to-school season is right around the corner—but before the rush of routines and early alarms kicks in, why not hit pause and gather your crew for one last summer soirée?

Whether you’re in the heart of Washington, DC or soaking up the charm of Bethesda, a laid-back Back-to-School Unwind is the perfect way to reconnect, relax, and celebrate the season’s final stretch. And nothing brings the vibe together like a beautifully curated charcuterie spread from District Boards.

Why a Back-to-School Unwind?

Between summer camps, travel, and non-stop schedules, parents, teachers, and even kids deserve a moment to decompress. Hosting an end-of-summer gathering offers:

  • A chance to connect with neighbors or friends you haven’t seen all season

  • A reset before the school-year grind

  • A stylish, low-stress way to celebrate community

1. Choose a Chill Location

In DC, rooftops and shaded patios make ideal sunset settings. In Bethesda, think backyard gardens or local parks like Elm Street Urban Park. Keep the setup relaxed—blankets, string lights, and ambient music go a long way.

Want to host indoors? No problem. District Boards make at-home entertaining effortless with stunning displays that don’t require full kitchen prep.

2. Set the Scene with a Signature Spread

Skip the stress of cooking. Let District Boards handle the menu with luxe grazing tables, themed charcuterie boards, and crowd-pleasing add-ons like:

  • Seasonal fruit & artisan cheeses

  • Vegan and gluten-free options

  • Kid-friendly nibbles and elevated snack boards

Hosting a larger group? Opt for our Back-to-School Grazing Table Package, which comes fully styled and ready to impress—no prep, no cleanup, just delicious memories.

3. Add Mocktails & Moments

What’s a summer send-off without a little sparkle? Our Mocktail & Beverage Packages include hand-crafted, non-alcoholic sips for kids and grown-ups alike—think watermelon basil spritzers or peach mint coolers.

Want to elevate your gathering? We also offer bartender services for those looking to include signature cocktails for the adults.

4. Make It Memory-Worthy

Add playful elements like:

  • A DIY Polaroid photo station

  • Back-to-school time capsule

  • Custom cookie favors or personalized lunchbox notes

And don’t forget: our Boards-To-Go make it easy to turn any gathering—big or small—into a luxe experience without lifting a finger.
