Create Your Own Invitations

To create a ladybug invitation you will need to get red and black cardstock paper and paint pins.  Take a piece of red cardstock and fold it in half.  Draw an oval on the paper to resemble the shape of a lady bug.  Cut out the oval leaving the folded edge intact.  For another idea fold one quarter of the left and right edge of the paper towards the center and you will have a ladybug whose wings open from the center.  Cut circles from the black cardstock and glue them on the ladybugs.  Draw a black head and tail on your ladybug invitation and write the party particulars on the inside.  This is also something that your kids will love to help you with.

The decorations

Decorating for your party does not mean everything needs to be in red and black.  Instead of the usual table cloth for the main table, get a piece of outdoor carpet which resembles grass.  Add a few silk flowers and you will have the perfect place for a ladybug feast.

You can also create planter boxes out of shoe boxes and place silk flowers in the lid and arrange them throughout your party space.  This will add a lot of color to your party.  For some fun the kids will surely love place a pinwheel which resembles a flower in each planter box.  Get open for each child and they can take them home with them after the party.

Since this is a child’s party balloons are always a good decoration.  Get red and black balloons and place them everywhere.

Here are some pictures from our neighbors ladybug birthday party for their 4 year old daughter:

The menu

The perfect snacks for your ladybug party would be cookies shaped like flowers.  Premade sugar cookie dough can be rolled out and cut into flower shapes and iced in bright colors.  You can also create a few ladybug cookies and ice them in red frosting with black candies.

For a healthy alternative, you can decorate fruit to look like ladybugs. Take an apple and core it and slice it in half.  Take caramel sauce and glue raisins to the apple halves to resemble ladybugs.

The centerpiece of the menu should be a ladybug cake.  You can make one yourself with a box of cake mix, frosting and red food coloring and mini Oreos.  Bake a round cake and frost with icing colored with the food coloring.  Place mini Oreos on the cake for the ladybug spots.  You can also add black licorice for antenna.

Fun and Games

Pin the spot on the ladybug can be a fun game for your guests.  Create a ladybug shape out of a red poster board and have black dots for the children to pin onto the lady bug.

Guessing the number of red and black jellybeans in a jar is a game that everyone will enjoy.  Remember to have enough prizes for each child to keep the party festive.

Ladybug theme parties can be enjoyable for children of all ages.  To make the most of your event, go to your local craft store and take advantage of the ladybug items they have in stock.

  That cake looks amazing and those lollipops do too. Are they cake or candy. This is a great idea. I would like to have a ladybug themed birthday party for myself however I am 37 and male so maybe it is not such a good idea - I think I will stick with Elmo.
  
  What a wonderful theme!
