If you’re planning a baby shower and are pressed to come up with a unique theme, think about butterflies. The beautiful creatures are synonymous with new beginnings, and they are the perfect embellishments for an affair designed to prepare an expectant mom to welcome her baby into the world.
Begin by sending invitations with embossed butterflies or butterfly graphics and use butterfly stickers to seal the envelopes. Butterflies can inspire a wide variety of baby shower decorations to build on the theme, too. Hang large nylon butterflies from the ceiling or opt for butterfly mobiles. Drape butterfly garlands along table edges to add a little extra pizzazz to plain white tablecloths. Scatter colorful butterfly picks throughout the floral centerpieces.
You can even incorporate butterflies into the favors. Cover small baskets with mini-butterflies and fill them with mints, or place butterfly-shaped cookies in clear plastic bags and tie them with curly ribbons that complement the shower’s color scheme.
The butterfly motif doesn’t need to be limited to the party decor. Have guests complete baby-themed activities on construction paper cut in the shape of butterfly wings, or use a large stuffed butterfly as the object to avoid in a hot potato-style game.
Decorate the cake with butterflies made of icing or pull together a butterfly-shaped cake. You can even get crafty and fashion butterflies out of diapers and washcloths. This sincere gesture can double as a gift for the mom-to-be and a decoration for the gift table.
