Butterfly Birthday Party Theme - Butterfly Wings


Invitations
Send out butterfly shaped cards or plain white cards with butterfly stickers.  For fun tie butterfly shaped cards (with party information) onto curling ribbon and attach to a helium balloon. The invitation will seem to “fly” below the helium balloon.

Butterfly Party Decorations
Cut out large butterfly wings from colored paper and attach to Styrofoam bodies. Paint the bodies and add antennae and eyes - then hang from the ceiling with fishing line.
Cut green crepe paper streamers into 8 - 10” lengths - cut the strips into different lengths - and tape one end to tables so they hang down and look like grass.
On the birthday cake or present table cover the top of the table with a sunny yellow tablecloth. Make large colorful flower petals out
of construction paper or poster board and then tape the petals around the outside of the table to make a flower.
Add large artificial flowers all over the room (we’ve found super size flowers at the dollar store that were 12” wide).
Blow up helium balloons and tie them with long strings of curling ribbon. Attach butterflies, dragonflies or any flying bug to the end of the curling ribbon. Let the balloons float to the ceiling and the butterflies and bugs will “fly” around the party area.

Fun Ideas
Gather or buy cheap colorful silk scarves and let the party guests pretend they are flying using them as wings.
Set up a bubble blower and let them fly through the bubbles and pop them.
Butterfly Party Games
  • Butterfly Hunt
  • Buy butterfly nets and plastic butterflies (check the dollar store). Hide the butterflies all over the backyard (or inside the house) and have a butterfly hunt. Let them keep the butterfly net and the butterflies they find. Variation: Hide special butterflies around the yard which will earn the finder a special prize. Before the party buy several small items to use as prizes and assign them a number. On several of the butterflies that are hidden write a number that corresponds with the prize number. When a child finds a butterfly with a number they get the prize that matches that number.  
  • Butterfly Cocoon TP Wrap
    You’ll need 2 - 3 rolls of new toilet paper for each team.  Divide guests into teams of 3 to 4 players.  Each team chooses who will be the caterpillar (the one who gets wrapped up).  Give each team member - other then the caterpillar - a roll of toilet paper.   At the go signal teams have to wrap up their caterpillar in the toilet paper as quick as they can. The team that uses all of it’s toilet paper first wins. Hint: Use the cheap single rolls of toilet paper.)
  • Elphin Game
    The store bought game that has an elephant who blows out butterflies from his trunk. Kids try and catch the butterflies with their nets. Lots of fun for younger children.
  • Butterfly Nature Scavenger Hunt
    This is a fun game for the yard or park. Divide guests into 2 teams (or if there are more then 10 guests 3 - 4 teams). 

Activities
Make butterfly wings, or have them already pre-made or buy them and let the girls decorate the wings at the party.

Buy wooden butterfly shapes at the craft store. Let the girls paint them with glittery paint of all colors, then when dry they can stick on jewels. Place a magnet strip on the back for a pretty refrigerator magnet.

Bake cookies and cut them out with a butterfly cookie cutter. Let the guests decorate their butterflies with frosting, candies and writing gel. This can also take the place of a large cake.

Make fun antennae with headbands, pipe cleaners and pom pom balls. Let them take them home for a party favor.

Food
Fun Jell-O jigglers cut with a cookie cutter into butterfly shapes.
Sandwiches cut with cookie cutters.
Honey Bee crackers.
Bow tie pasta - it looks like butterfly wings!
Cheese (cut with butterfly cookie cutter) and crackers.
Make dirt / garden cupcakes. Fill individual cupcake liners 1/2 way with chocolate pudding. Crush Oreo cookies and sprinkle them on top of the chocolate pudding to fill the liners. Place gummy worms in the cupcakes and a pretty plastic flower on top. This a also a fun activity for the party goers to make!

Butterfly Party Favors
Butterfly or flower shaped lip gloss kits.
Bright nail polish.
Flower pens.
The butterfly wings, scarves or antennae can be given as the butterfly party favor.
Butterfly nets.
Pretty decorated butterfly shaped cookies tied in cellophane.
Bubbles

Goody Bags
Canvas totes decorated with butterflies. Squares of netting wrapped around the party favors and tied with a pretty ribbon always makes a fun goody bag.

Tips For Finding Discount Girls Baby Shower Decorations

Shower your mom to be with these decorations!
When you’re throwing a baby shower, finding discount baby shower supplies can be difficult if you don’t use a little foresight and planning. It’s especially easy to go overboard when buying or making baby girl shower decorations as everything is so adorable. That makes it hard to choose and if you’re not careful it’s easy to have your baby shower looking like a frilly pink nightmare.
Baby shower party supplies can be done in a variety of ways. Traditionally, baby girl shower decorations are lacy and flowery. If themed, most people lean towards the traditional ducks, butterflies or cartoon characters such as the ever popular Disney characters.
First and foremost you need balloons and streamers. They are placed outside the house as a guide for guests to help direct them to the correct residence and of course inside because what would any party be without balloons and dangling streamers? Generally, you want the baby shower party supplies to stick with a theme.
One cute touch for baby girl shower decorations is the sock rosebush. Using pink and/or white baby socks roll them up tightly; they will resemble small roses; then using wire, attach them to “stems” of wooden skewers and stick them down into pots you’ve spray painted pink and filled with green florists Styrofoam.
Discount baby shower supplies can also be found online. With a little online legwork, you should have no problem finding your baby shower party supplies. Baby girl shower decorations bring out the softie in all of us so have fun with it but make sure not to overdo the fluff.

Baby Girls Nursery Decorations - Baby Shower Decorations


Baby showers are joyous occasions to celebrate the birth of a baby. Baby showers not only add excitement but are also a great way to get together for blessing the new parents-to-be as well as the baby (if the baby is already born). They are a fun way to greet apprehensive moms-to-be. Lots of balloons, streamers, banners and colorful decorations make the party area more lively. Baby showers can be more fun if they are well decorated according to a theme or a particular idea.

Baby shower decorations can be based on themes like animals, nursery rhymes, fairy tale characters, or family themes. The plates, glasses, and other accessories can be based on these themes. Even the guests can dress up to suit the theme of the party. The gifts and favors for the guests as well as the games can also be designed to suit the theme of the party.

Some common decorations for baby shower are beanie babies or stuffed animals as center pieces on tables, candles shaped as babies or baby accessories, pacifiers as napkin holders, potted plants wrapped in colorful diapers, small baby-shaped cakes as center pieces, candy dishes made of jellybellys, baby booties filled with candies placed all over the room, colorfully decorated diapers on clothes line, fun shaped baby tubs as punch bowls, fun shaped lamps which the mom can take for the baby’s room, confetti that says “It’s a boy!” or “It’s a girl!”, chocolate lollipops in the shapes of umbrellas as table decoration, the baby’s crib or stroller decorated to fill in the gifts, pins for all the guests and a special one of the mom-to-be, cloth diapers as place mats, baby bottles as drinking glasses, carriage made of water melon chunks as table decorations, or baby bottles as vases. The idea is to be as creative as possible to make the occasion very memorable and a lot of fun.
There are an endless number of themes to consider when decorating for a baby shower. The only limitation is the imagination of the person doing the decorating.

Butterfly Baby Shower Favor Decorations

Butterfly Decorations
As beautiful as gel candles are, they are not as popular as wax candles. In the baby showers where the favors are gel candles people are amazed at how beautiful they are and yet they don't see many of them around. Under different lighting the gel candles can take on an appearance of a celestial water paradise. In the sun the appearance turns in an aqua bubbling world of beauty.
