Butterfly Baby Shower Decorations
For a lovely butterfly theme, you can have a sweet pink or pretty purple look. You could buy some lovely nylon or silk butterflies that you can hang on the ceiling or wall. Also, you can make butterflies with icing and place it on your cupcakes.
Add some beautiful flowers on the table, spread butterfly confetti using the same butterfly puncher as the invitations. Or for a larger butterflies, you can print a larger butterfly image from google and cut it out. You should use a thick cardstock paper to do this, but not too thick that it’d jam your printer! Jays.designs13 uses baby’s breath flower which looks amazing.
You can use these butterflies to make a little bunting as cupcake and the cake topper. They can also be folded slightly at the wings so as to look more real and attractive as they won’t be flat on the surface.
Another simple yet nice way to decorate the party hall or the room is to use balloons. You can create a balloon garland and stick paper cut-out butterflies on them to give a feel of them fluttering around the area. Use scotch tape or UGlu tapes as these would work well with balloons. Use shimmering and decorative papers to cut out butterflies for the best effect.
Also, to match the butterfly balloons, the most predominant color in the balloons can be used, and table cloths, cups, and napkins can be bought in a matching color.
