School Fundraiser Ideas: 22 Popular Sign-up Parties For Parents

Sign up parties for parents are fun and profitable school fundraisers. This blog, which is part of a 2-part series, will give you 18 popular school fundraiser ideas to help plan sign-up parties for parents. The second blog will focus on kid and family-oriented sign-up parties.

Sign up parties for parents focus on activities created specifically for mom, dads, or couples. With these types of fundraisers, you can use your creativity to coordinate activities that they will love to try.

These parties focus on a variety of interests, hobbies, themes, and activities that will appeal to adults. Some popular sign-up parties for parents focus on tournaments, specialty liquor, and dining experiences. The events or activities can be in the host’s home, a restaurant, or event venue.

Schools can offer several of these types of parties throughout the year. They are opened to a limited number of guests. The price to attend usually ranges from $25 to $150 per person, depending on the activities.

Create a Sign-Up Party Auction Chair position and one or two parents from the school can be in charge of creating the sign-up parties. Approach families at the school who may want to host a party in their home with a certain theme like Mimosas and Manicures by the Pool at Marianna’s house.  Marianna will open her home to a set number of women and host a poolside party. She may pay a manicurist to come do everyone’s nails, or maybe she can ask a salon to donate these services to benefit the school. The school will receive the proceeds from the party, which may sell for $50 or $100 per person. With 10 attendees, this party will add $1000 to the auction profits! 

The parties are also great for building community within the school!  These parties are typically so popular that many of our schools offer them to a select group of parents first.  If you are a VIP donor or sponsor, you get to purchase the parties before anyone else.  We manage this through our event software that can segregate bidding to certain audiences. 

To help promote the parties.  Email the link to view the parties when you open your online auction to allow your supporters to view and add the parties to their favorites list.  When it is time to open the parties for purchase, they can easily add the parties to their cart and check out online!

Make sure to include the date, time, location, price, and a description of the party as well as a catchy picture! Add this information to the school website, fundraiser website, social media, and distribute flyers to parents.
