"little bug picnic" birthday party

Jennifer from Rambling Renovators, a blog which follows the renovations of her families 1950's home in Toronto, threw a fun "little bug picnic" birthday for her daughter.

The invitations got everyone in the mood...


A sign greeted guests at the door and the wee ones were invited to "Come bee a bug!" by wearing one of the bumble bee headbands...



There were lots of buggy decor details, like the DIY ladybug banner, the bug straw toppers atop yellow and white striped paper straws, and the beehive drink dispenser (filled with ice tea "beetle juice"). The loot boxes contained some plush bean bag bugs, "Buzz-bles!" labelled bubbles, insect finger puppets, magnifying glasses, and tattoos...





There was a photo booth and a DIY frog cutout for a bean bag toss game...



Then there was the cake!!...


The rest of the table was set with bug-themed food: Snails 'n cheese (baked mac 'n cheese) served in white paper cups with wooden forks, ladybug cupcakes in red and white gingham cupcake liners, striped bumble bee jello, caterpillar kebobs (balled fruit on skewers). And guests got to take home a little treat too, scones in red and white gingham paper bags...



The bumble bee jello was made by alternating layers of lemon and grape jello. Wooden spoons were attached to the side of the cups with little pieces of black and white gingham tape - easy, functional, and keeping with the picnic theme...
