Butterfly Party Invitation

We've launched a new butterfly first birthday party invitation in the HalfpintPartyDesign Etsy Shop and hope you love it as much as we do! Let me know if you are looking for other birthday numbers or color combinations. We'd love adding your custom requests to our collection.

Enchanted Butterfly Party Decor 

Greet guests with a moss wreath covered in colorful butterflies like this one from Davona Douglass. I think I've found the inspiration for next month's Pinterest Challenge! You could easily recreate this with cut paper butterflies or purchased

How whimsical are these 3 dimensional butterflies? This Truly Fairy bunting from Super Sweet Party is the perfect enchanted butterfly party decor! String overhead, on a mantel, or in front of the dessert table. The options are endless.

Or ow about floating cut butterflies that you can affix to the wall, window, plates, table, hair, or even embellish your gift boxes! These gold cut butterflies from Art Paper Wonder will add some shimmer to any party.

Enchanted Butterfly Tablescape

The way to take anything from everyday to magical is by adding whimsical details. A gnarly piece of wood covered in moss instantly creates a woodland feel. Adding flowers, butterflies, ribbon, and fairy dust completes the illusion of an enchanted forest like this gorgeous table done by The COOP and featured on Kara's Party Ideas.

Talking Tables Truly Fairy garden collection is the perfect accompaniment for an enchanted butterfly party. How perfect are these little cups with the perched butterflies!? Pair them with these Truly Romantic tea party floral plates and you've got an elegant butterfly party indeed!

Speaking of shimmer….how about scattering this lovely rose and glittered butterfly confetti from Sunny LuLu Design on your tables? A wonderful touch for an enchanted garden butterfly baby shower or birthday party.

Butterfly Party Treats

This stunning yellow rose cake by Tikkido added enchantment to the gorgeous party she designed for her daughter's 2nd birthday. Cute paper good designed by Frog Prince Paperie. This party is FULL of awesome DIY's if you're ready to get your glue gun on!

Not talented in the cake decorating department? It's ok. I'm not either! This cake is also lovely but a little more my pace. Simple bakery cakes can easily be embellished by these EDIBLE butterflies by Sugar Robot. Yes, you read that correctly. These lovelies are as edible as they are beautiful.

Looking for something to keep guests entertained? These darling butterfly cupcakes by Press Print Party are the perfect way to involve guests in a sweet activity. Though you might want to prep the pretzel wings ahead and time for younger guests. Nathalie provides an awesome video tutorial for these simple DIY butterfly cupcakes.

Need it EVEN more simple? I got you covered with these beautiful 3D gold glitter butterfly cupcake toppers by Sugar Parties LA. The girl is a genius with paper!

Butterfly Party Favors

For a sweet personalized favor at a butterfly birthday party or baby shower, you can't beat the cost savings of cutting your own butterfly favor boxes! Jordan's Easy Entertaining provides the Cricut cut file she used for her Mother's Day Brunch. These boxes take a single cut and you only have to glue one tab! I'm IN!! If you don't have a Cricut yet, I highly recommend getting one! She has a Cricut Maker {on my wish list} but I'm still rocking my Cricut Explore Air just fine!

With my Cricut Explore Air I cut grass and butterflies for party gift bags and smaller treat bags. See how I did it and snag the cut files in this DIY Butterfly Party Favor post.

Now what to fill it with? I'm completely in love with these little butterfly soaps in soft pastels by the Mad Hatter Party Box. It just screams baby shower to me! But I know many a little lady that would love their own little soap and as a mom I like that it's not candy!

Or how about these cute little fold out butterfly fans from Oriental Trading? You can also add them to an Amazon Prime order for Free shipping!!

Butterfly Party Clothes

The birthday girl definitely needs a special butterfly outfit. I made the #1 applique for a onesie we already had and tied it together using our party colors and a few cute butterfly accessories. You can see all the butterfly cuteness of my FIRST EVER children's party {don't judge!} here: Butterfly First Birthday Party.

Or purchase a complete dress like this one from Palm Valley Kids. No sewing required!
