Buzzing In With A Honey Of A Bee-Day Theme

Give your little one a bee-day party worth buzzing about. With these innovative ideas and some creative touches of your own, your party will bee swarming with fun.

There are several 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 as well.

Once you have chosen a Bee theme, then it is time for a guest list and to decide upon a party location, time and date.

Then, invitations are in order. Make your own or pick from those that are available at online party sites in the theme you are using.

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.

Welcome your guests with a birthday banner which will also mark your party spot. You can purchase personalized ones online for that special touch.

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.

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.

Bring the bee theme out with fun and tasty snacks. You can serve honey graham crackers, peanut butter and honey sandwiches cut into bee or flower shapes with cookie cutters and yogurt honey dip with a fruit tray. Go online for even more bee themed snacks.

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.

The cake is one of the most anticipated part of a birthday party so make sure yours is extra sweet! Purchase a bee or flower shaped cake pan 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 up to doing crafts at the party, consider the age range of the children. Younger ones will enjoy 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.
