Decorating party ideas focus on the hundreds of butterflies that have come to visit. They can be bought from a party store, printed or homemade and can be in many different sizes. They should be delicately put all over the house or garden hanging from trees or lights. Children will delight to see them in unexpected places such as on the bathroom mirror or behind the television.

For a party of butterflies, children can come dressed as butterflies with antennas and wings. Face painting is also popular for butterfly party.

Lots of color is at the top of the list of party ideas for a successful butterfly party.

GAMES AND ACTIVITIES

There are also many party ideas for games and they can be adapted to butterflies. Pin the butterfly on the flower is one example. Decorating their own goody bag with glitter, sequins, and bright colors is a good idea for an indoor activity. A butterfly can be drawn on the side of the bag in advance. Large blossoms drawn in advance can be hidden in the garden or around the house and the children can be given several butterfly stickers. They need to find a blossom and stick a butterfly on it. They can keep the blossoms when the game is finished.

FOOD

The best party ideas always advise to keep the food simple. Finger food such as tiny toasted sandwiches that wont fall apart, grapes, cherries or dried fruit in a bowl is easier for young children to eat and may be easier to clean up later. It should be ascertained beforehand if any of the invitees have food allergies.
