Butterflies make a wonderful choice as a baby shower theme. Our Mod Butterfly Baby Shower Supplies takes a traditional motif of a butterfly but gives it a modern twist. Featuring greens, pinks, and various blues there is whimsical feel to this range perfect for Moms-to-be who love all things pretty. It’s also ideal for baby shower hostesses who care about nature or love their garden. With it’s light and airy feel, it particularly suits spring or summer baby showers. Although it features plenty of pink, the Mod Butterfly theme would work for shower parties where the sex of the baby isn’t yet known, especially if it is matched up with our solid color party supplies in yellows or greens. There is a magical feel to the Mod Butterfly, which adds to the wonder and joy of pregnancy and birth.
Butterfly Themed Baby Shower Decorating Ideas
Beautiful butterflies lend a dreamy feel to a baby shower party. Our Mod Butterfly Baby Shower Supplies are perfect for the natural, girlie Mom-to-be. There’s so much scope for theming this party to make it an event to remember! So here are a few tips:
- Lend your room the feeling of a garden. This can easily be achieved by using our Solid Color table cover in celery, lime or emerald green.
- Jazz up the table with Mod Butterfly dinner plates, napkins and cups and sprinkle the table with Butterfly confetti.
- Buy as many bunches of blooms as you can afford and scatter around the room in different sized and shaped vases. You could go for a single color, such as pink, or choose multi-colored bunches. Try to select blooms with a scent – after all, butterflies are attracted to scented flowers! If you don’t have perfumed flowers, place scented candles around the room. Choose fragrances such as Jasmine or Gardenia.
- Hang up a Butterfly Garland, or make your own large butterflies. Buy crepe paper and cut out in the shape of a butterfly. The trick is to fold the paper in half and just draw half a butterfly, so both sides are symmetrical.
- Glue paper butterflies to the outside of your cups or glasses.
- And don’t forget to carry on the whimsical outdoor theme and include other cute bugs such as caterpillars or ladybirds.
Butterfly Baby Shower Menu & Activity Tips
The Mod Butterfly theme can also be reflected in your food. Use our
Butterfly Cookie Cutter favors to make little cookies or sandwiches in the shape of a butterfly. And as an added bonus, why not give your guests a Butterfly Cookie Cutter as a Favor? They can even be personalized with a customized tag or adhesive label to make them extra special. Light, fresh foods would compliment this theme perfectly. Cut fresh vegetables such as carrot or celery into sticks and make dips such as guacamole or hummus or tzatziki. Add some spice and vibrant color by serving your dips in hollowed out peppers, large tomatoes or sourdough bread. Bake a cake and decorate with little butterflies, ladybirds or caterpillars fashioned out of fondant icing. You can buy ready-made colors, or create your own by adding food coloring to your white fondant.
You could even purchase live butterflies that can be released at your baby shower. According to the Native American butterfly legend if the mom-to-be and the guests each whisper a wish for the baby to the butterflies, when released, the butterflies will carry the wishes to the heavens to be granted. If you don’t have real butterflies, you could still do the same by scattering our butterfly confetti into the wind! No baby shower is complete without some fun games. A great icebreaker is our
Buzz BaBEE Shower Bingo Game. Another fun game, in keeping with the nature theme, is the Baby Animal Name Game. Create a list of 15 – 20 adult animals and their corresponding baby names. An easy example is Cat and Kitten. A harder example is Alligator and Hatchling or Alpaca and Cria. Give each guest a list of animals and 4 – 5 minutes to fill in the blanks. Whoever gets the most correct answers wins!
