Ideas For A Ladybug Themed 1st Birthday Party

First birthdays are so special, and a time to create memories.  They are really more about the celebration and fellowship with family and friends than they are for the birthday boy or girl themselves (since they won’t even remember it).  Even so, it’s easy to come up with a theme based on a special toy they love, or a sweet nickname.

How many of you call(ed) your baby girl “ladybug,” or “pumpkin”, or “sweet pea” (we used to call our daughter “little bug”)?  That’s the idea behind this Ladybug birthday party board that begins with invitations from Bunny Prints {which, btw, offers a 10% discount to our readers – see code at right}.

• Setting the tone for the party are personalized Ladybug themed invitations from Bunny Prints.  These are so adorable!
• Party decor is based on black and red with lots of polka dots like these balloons.
• Dress your little bug in a darling Ladybug outfit that is picture-ready for all the photos that will be taken that day.
• Dress up a sweets table for guests to enjoy, and include some homemade “ladybug” pretzels in the mix.
• Hand out favor jars that are simple to put together with black and red candies, coordinating ribbon, and a ladybug sticker on top of the lid.

These ideas were put together to help introduce you to one of our site sponsors, Bunny Prints.   I love using invitations to inspire party themes and decor and they have lots to choose from.  Visit their site for more and to get your 10% discount for being a CAH reader {use code “celebrate” at checkout}.
