Buzzing In With A Honey Of A Bee-Day Theme
If you want to throw your child a honey of a bee-day party, why not consider a Bee theme? Your party will swarm with fun when you add your own creative touches to our innovative ideas.
There is a nice line of Bee themes to go with including the Bee Movie, Sweet-As-Can-Bee and even the Bug theme. You will find a hive full of sweet ideas and party supplies too.
When you have chosen a specific Bee theme, then it is time for a guest list and to decide upon a party location, time and date.
Next, invitations are in order. Of course you can make your own if you are crafty but you can also find a bee hive full from checking out birthday party sites and online party supply stores.
Fill out the party details onto each invitation then slip them into envelopes and sprinkle in some confetti. Place bee stickers on the outside and mail.
Don’t get stung with last minute details. Careful planning will help ensure a smooth sail.
As far as decorations go, yellow and black are the most common colors to use but depending on your specific theme, you may want to use others instead like pink for Sweet-As-Can-Bee.
Kids love balloons so bring in as many as you can. Fill solid latex and themed Mylars with helium for a really festive air.
Welcome your guests with a birthday banner which will also mark your party spot. You can purchase personalized ones online for that special touch.
Hang a Bee theme pinata for a cute decoration and a hit at game time. You can also hang stuffed bees from the ceiling and stick on removable bee stickers to the walls.
Another great way to blend theme and color is by decorating a table or tables. Drape them with solid or theme table covers and add a centerpiece on top. Set the cake, beverages and snacks on them as well as themed party plates, cups and napkins.
The children will bee making a bee line for the snack table when you serve up some fun foods like peanut butter and honey sandwiches shaped like flowers, honey yogurt dip with a fruit tray and honey graham crackers. You can find lots of recipes available from birthday party sites online.
Nectar is a great beverage choice. It’s available in peach, strawberry and a variety of flavors. Add in a real punch by adding flower shaped ice cubes.
The cake is every child’s favorite part of the party so make sure yours is sweet. Use a bee shaped cake pan and follow the instructions that come with it to decorate. You can also opt for a honey cake. Again, party sites for children are great resources for cake ideas and recipes.
Make game time fun by focusing on having a good time rather than winning. Change old favorite games into the bee theme like “Bee Bee Flower”. You can also use your imagination for a scavenger hunt for bee related items and have a relay race for the hive. Pin the stinger on the bee is another fun game.
If you are planning to do crafts, bee sure to prepare the party area to prevent a disaster on your floor or table. Let the younger children paint or color pictures of bees and flowers and the older ones make bee snow globes and other more difficult creations.
Send them home with goodies. Use a bee theme box or bag and fill with fun treasures or you can also find already assembled favor sets online.
Help your child send out thank-you cards shortly after the party. You can make your own or purchase in the Bee theme to match your invitations.
With these great ideas and your own creative contributions, you will have a party swarming with fun.
