Ladybug Baby Shower Decorations
If you’ve chosen a ladybug-themed party for the expectant family, you’ve made the right choice! Adorable
ladybugs are perfect for a mother expecting a little girl. Ladybug baby shower decorations are plentiful for
purchase, and are also easy to make in paper, craft or food form.
Décor and Color Schemes
Choosing ladybug baby shower decorations simplifiesthe planning process, as the color scheme automatically
becomes black, red and white, though various pink versions are available too. For large-scale decorations, consider
making a painted papier- mâché ladybug, and insert black pipe cleaners with glittery poms on the end for antennae.
Purchase or borrow baby ladybug costumes and hang as sentimental decorations, which are adorable;the
mother-to-be will eagerly anticipate costume parties with her little one.
Invitations
With a multitude of ladybug party baby shower decorations and party supplies available to you, you may wish to
spend your time on creating a unique invitation that can also be used as a decoration. Scrapbooking supplies abound
to adorn any handmade invitation. For a unique touch, consider a ladybug invite whose wings open to reveal the
details of the event. Take black cardstock cut in a circle for the head and glue it behind a larger white cardstock
circle, where the information will be written. Secure the top layer’s two red cardstock wings with small
scrapbooking brads.
Ladybugs Galore
Continuing on with scrapbooking supplies, you can cut larger ladybugs out of cardstock or even
posterboard. To add visual interest to your ladybug baby shower decorations, cut the spots out of fun and
interesting patterns such as sheet music, black and white stripes, or even black and white polka
dots! Remember to vary the sizes of the ladybug decorations to keep the look from becoming monotonous. For a
truly unique look, live ladybugs can be ordered online and placed in a glass jar with a few small branches and
leaves for the party. Afterwards, release into the garden to control aphids and other pests!
Buggy Cake
Ladybug cake pans come in a few sizes, so making several instead of one large cake will mimic a colony of the
friendly bugs. For sheet cake decorations, make a chocolate cake with green or white icing. Add a cut layer of
green fondant or coconut tinted with green food coloring for grass. Crumble Oreo cookies over the top to
mimic soil, and add leaves cut from edible pastry papers. Top the cake with various sizes of ladybugs cut
from fondant, or take the easy route and use plastic ones from the toy department!
More Fun Ladybug Food
Crumbled Oreo cookies can top chocolate pudding in a clear, plastic parfait cup topped with your favorite
decorative ladybug. Chocolate ladybugs are available online, but you can also make your own with icing and edible
dots over a chocolate turtle. A fun way to make a ladybug is to hull strawberries, press chocolate chips in
for the dots, and serve on a toothpick. You can also add grapes for the head. Consider displaying any of
your edible ladybug baby shower decorations on large leaf lettuce or honeydew melon cut in the shape of leaves.
Ladybugs are one of the few bugs you would invite to a baby shower. Whimsical and simple ladybug baby
shower decorations will impress guests and the mother-to-be. Have fun with all of the options available to you
in lady bug décor, invitations and food decorating.
