This year my daughter wanted a butterfly birthday party. We sent out butterfly invitations that were printed on Pink and purple card stock. They were square shaped and on the front it asked our guest to "flutter on by to celebrate Lee's 4th birthday. I cut a small slit in the middle of the card and inserted butterfly wings, creating a 3'D effect. ON the back (on a separted sheet to cover up the slit from the wings) was written:   The dance of the butterflies will be held on February 5th. The butterflies will be captured at 1:30 pm and released at 3:00pm. Our cocoon is located at address Ct.. Please RSVP to the momarch at _phone_____. I borrowed some of the wording from other butterfly partiers on your website. As the Butterflies arrived they were given wings. I made them out of very thin and light fabric that I cut into wing shapes and attached to each girls arms at the wrist and at the top of the arm. They fluttered around the house as they went from station to station.  I set up different stations for them to do an activity.  There was a nail painting station (which I found rhinestone butterflies for each of them to have on their fingers), a butterfly necklace making station, where they made necklaces with butterfly charms and beads, there was a face painting station where they had butterflies painted on their faces.  After everyone arrived and had been to every station we started our crafts. Our first craft was to color in butterfly shrinkie dinks.  I drew different butterflies on shrinkie dink plastic paper and then put them in the oven for the kids to watch them shrink.  When the kids finshed that project then they went on to color butterfly sun catchers. (a little messy so make sure you have clean up things around)   Then the kids cleared out of the craft area and went and played pin the antenna on the butterfly. (I painted a large butterfly onto poster board and made antenna out of card stock and played the game just like pin the tail on the donkey.) When they came back from that game the tables were set up for snack time.  We had crackers and cheese shaped like butterflies and a butterfly cake that was done in all my daughters favorite colors. After the food the girls fluttered around with a little free time.  Then it was time to flutter home and the kids recieved their loot bags and went on their very happy butterfly ways.   I decorated the house with butterflies everywhere. I purchased the butterflies at Oriental Traders.  There were butterflies on the wall,hanging from the lights, and all over the front windows. We had butterfly balloons all over the house and lots of other heilium filled balloons floating about the first floor of our house.  In the family room above the children tables we set up, we took streamers in all pale pinks, blues, yellows, greens and purples and gathered them in the middle of the ceiling and then drapped them to the sides and corners creating a canapy affect and then from the middle of the streamers we hung ball shaped paper lanterns in pale colors down creating a pillar affect. The table clothes were purple pastic and we stuck butterfly stickers all over them.  The loot bags were miniture backpacks.  I used foam letters to put each girls name on the bag and then I made butterflies out of foam board and decorated each bag with the butterflies. Inside the bag was everything butterfly I could find, butterfly earrings, barrets, soaps, candies, butterfly shaped note pads. I also made huge butterfly cookies and decorated them with colored sugars and but them in large pink bags and put them in each loot bag.
