The Bee Theme For A Great Bee-day
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.
Invitations are next in line. Make your own or pick from those that are available at online party sites in your theme.
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 chaos. Careful planning will help ensure a smooth flight so you don’t get your wings in a wad.
As far as decorations go, yellow and black are the most popular colors to use but depending on your specific theme, you may want to use others instead like pink is great 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.
A birthday banner will welcome your guests and mark your party spot. You can get the personalized from party supply stores online.
You can hang a Bee theme pinata for a cute decoration and a hit at game time. Also hang stuffed bees from the ceiling and stick on removable bee stickers to the walls.
Tables are not only serviceable, they add to your decor too. Cover with color coordinating or themed table covers and top with a centerpiece. Set out your cake, beverages and snacks on the table or tables.
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.
For beverages, nectar is a great choice. It is available in peach, strawberry and a variety of flavors. Add in a real punch by adding flower shaped ice cubes.
Cake time is one of the best parts of a birthday party so make sure yours is extra sweet! Purchase a bee or flower shaped cake pan and bake and decorate according to the directions or bake a honey cake if you would rather.
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 doing crafts at the party, consider the age range of the children. Younger children will like coloring bee pictures or shaping play dough into flowers while older ones would prefer creating bees with pom-poms or more difficult projects.
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.
Within a week or so after the party, help your little one send out thank-you cards. you can make them or purchase in the same theme as your invitations.
With these great ideas and your own creative contributions, you will have a party swarming with fun.
