Butterfly Baby Shower Invitations
There are so many beautiful butterfly invitations out there that it’s difficult to choose one. The first thing is to define if you want a digital/printable invitation, or a more elaborated invitation. Then, you should look for an invitation that matches the colors of the decoration you will have.
One of the things I love the most about a butterfly baby shower is that it is delicate. Therefore, I believe that the invitations should follow this trend. Flowers, watercolor images, pastel tones are things I would look for when selecting an invitation for this theme.

Butterfly Baby Shower Decoration Ideas
When you think of having a butterfly baby shower you have many options to make wonderful decorations. For a butterfly baby shower you can choose pastel colors like pink, purple, blue or green. If you want the baby shower to be neutral or you want to reveal the gender of the baby, green is the way to go. You can combine any of these colors with white and also add touches of gold or silver.
To decorate I suggest you use natural flowers that will give a fresh atmosphere to the party. You can also decorate with 3D butterflies or use printed butterfly images. They will be very pretty!
If you want the baby shower to have a rustic style, I suggest using tree branches with flowers and butterflies hanging from it. If you prefer a more delicate touch, you can use fabrics such as veils and fabric flowers. You can put a tulle tablecloth on the table according to the color you have chosen and this will give the table decor volume and it will look beautiful as well as being very delicate. Additionally, using balloons in the colors of the baby shower will be a great option. Balloons are not only very cute but can also help you fill the space and be very decorative. You can make a stunning balloon arrangement and it will look spectacular. You can also put some balloons with helium and hang a strip with butterflies glued on them.
Another great idea to decorate the main can be to use cages that you can fill with pom-poms and decorate paper butterflies. If you have decided to put a gold or silver touch to the decor you can use it in the bases for sweets and desserts, add some balloons of those colors in the balloon arrangements or use chairs and tables of these colors.
Boxes will always be an excellent recommendation to decorate. You can make boxes in one color like pink, blue or purple and put a gold or silver 3D butterfly on it. In these boxes you can store sweets, desserts or souvenirs. Don’t forget to buy or use matching plates and glasses. You will find many options in the colors you have chosen.
Having popcorn at a party is always a great idea when showering someone who is “about to pop”. And these popcorn boxes match perfectly with the butterfly baby shower theme.
These butterfly favor boxes are another great idea for your baby shower. The material has a beautiful shimmer and you can buy 1 color or mixed. They are easy to assemble and are great to fill with candies, macarons, kisses or any other favor you want.
Butterfly toppers will always be your best ally because you can use them in many ways. You can use them on cupcakes, on the cake, on cakesicles, on cake pops, as a decoration on top of the plate and in many other places. The toppers can be made using a mold and cutting the edge, or you can also make them in 3D with cardboard. To make them you can use two layers of butterflies made of cardboard, the bottom one bigger than the top one and in this way it will look like the butterfly is flying. There are some beautiful cardboard with bright touches that are ideal for these crafts. To make the 3D butterflies more striking use colors like pink, purple or green for the bottom butterfly and gold or silver for the top butterfly. Confetti in the shape of butterflies can be used as decoration for straws and also as part of the table decor.
Another decoration item is confetti. With these cute butterflies you an give that extra touch to the tables or favor boxes. You can also embellish paper straws or find some already embellished in the following store.
Centerpieces are a must in every party decoration. Some ideas for centerpieces are:
- Use buckets, decorate them with tissue paper and fill them with balloons on sticks and with butterflies attached to sticks.
- Another option is to use mason yards decorated with natural flowers, cardboard butterflies, ribbons or lace.
- A flower arrangement for the centerpiece with some butterflies on top is also a wonderful alternative.
- If the decoration is rustic, putting a tree branch containing some flowers and butterflies in different colors as a centerpiece will be spectacular.
- If you prefer to make things out of paper, you can put a transparent vase that you can fill with Christmas lights and make an arrangement of paper flowers with butterflies on top.
Do not forget to add candles to the tables, this will give a romantic and delicate atmosphere to your baby shower.
For the main table background you can use a butterfly banner. You can buy a nylon and hang it from the wall or ceiling. To make the butterflies you can cut them out with scissors, buy a die cutter, or cut them on a cutting machine if you have one. If you don’t want to use balloons for decoration, a good idea is to use white paper lamps and decorate them with delicate materials like tulle, 3D paper butterflies and lace. Also making pom poms of different sizes will make a perfect addition to the decoration.
You can give a special touch to the chairs by tying a tulle in the colors you have chosen for the party. To this tulle you can add a big butterfly or you can buy butterfly wings and it will look amazing.
A perfect complement for the guest table are the napkin rings which you can make with a strip of paper and put a paper butterfly on top.
These beautiful butterfly cake toppers will help you embellish a cake in a fast and easy way.
Butterfly Baby Shower Food Ideas
The sweets and desserts with chosen colors for the decoration will make a perfect complement to make your party wonderful.
To keep guests hydrated, a good idea is to make a pink or purple punch and serve it in clear cups. Having water bottles decorated with printables to match the decor is a great idea.
Cookies decorated in the shape of butterflies will always be a good choice. You can make a decorative element out of the butterfly cookies by requesting the cookies with lollipop sticks to place them in a bucket with Styrofoam. To decorate the bucket you can use tissue paper and it will look like a small butterfly garden… it will look beautiful!
Chocolate strawberry towers are not only delicious but they are also an excellent decorative element. You can make the chocolate color in the one you have chosen to decorate and they will be part of the decoration. Just as there are towers of strawberries, you can also use towers and bases to place the cupcakes and desserts.
A cake is a wonderful food idea that is also a main part of the decoration. You can choose to buy an elaborated cake or you can also buy a plain cake with cream and decorate it with cake toppers or natural flowers. You can find tons of butterfly cake toppers that will make your cake look amazing. If you want a more practical idea you can choose to have a diaper cake. Although it is not an edible option, the diaper cake will decorate the table and the diapers will be an amazing gift that the mommy-to-be will surely use.
Whichever type of cake you choose, you should also select the number of tiers the cake will have, choose color for the cake that matches the baby shower decoration, and the flavor. Ideally choose a flavor that most of the guests like, but most importantly, the mommy-to-be. Bear in mind that sometimes pregnant women may have alimentary restrictions, so be sure to have an appropriate cake or at least a dessert that the mom-to-be can enjoy.
