For her Dad's 55th birthday, Nora of Sugar & Sparkle threw a rustic western theme party that featured…
Insect party: Dylan is 1!
Posted under Birthday Parties, insects, parties for boys
Here’s an adorable insect theme party that really gets down to nature! Ambrini Events styled this insect party for 1-year-old Dylan, using bugs, butterflies, beetles, moss, dirt, stones, grass, and flowers for a realistic outdoorsy feel. The bright color scheme of greens, blues, and orange tied the whole theme together and made it cute and bright – perfect for a little one like Dylan.

Cupcakes were decorated with crushed Oreos, candy rocks, plastic bugs and butterflies, and printable cupcake toppers. Then, they were displayed in a large flowerpot topped with moss.



Printable cupcake topper circles were used to decorate the flowerpot centerpieces.

Dylan’s printable birthday banner stretches the whole way across the deck!


Snacks such as gummy candies and chips were served in terra cotta pots. And, gummy worms are a cute touch for the “dirt in a cup” pudding cups.



In addition to a bounce house, kids also played “dig for bugs” – finding plastic bug toys in a bin of garden soil.

Favors included books, stickers, small toys, and of course, an insect catcher. Each favor bucket was tied with a printable favor tag that says “Thanks for buzzing by!”

Dylan’s special smash cupcake was decorated with Oreo “dirt” and a big number 1 candle.

Adding a printable cupcake topper as an accent to a straw hat makes the perfect party hat for a little gardener! : )
