Ladybug Themed Birthday Party with FREE Printables!



Hi everyone! My name is Erin and I'm the DIY wannabe behind How to Nest for Less!
 
I'm excited to be back again blogging with Toni at Design Dazzle! Hope you guys enjoy my latest project... a Ladybug Themed Birthday Party with FREE printables! 

For this 1st birthday party, I created some food table cards, cupcake liners, a birthday garland and water bottle labels for some extra pizzazz around the room. Let's get this party started!

The water bottle labels should be printed on a glossy white paper so the condensation from the cold water doesn't quickly dissolve the paper label. Five labels are printed on one sheet of 8.5x11 inch paper. You can also add a little personal message to the top and bottom of the label!

I actually printed my cupcake liners on scrapbook paper using my Silhouette Cameo, but if you don't have that resource, you can use this printable and trim by hand!

I love the idea of table cards for the various foods you serve at your party, especially if you have guests with allergies. The printable leaves the center blank so you can customize to your menu!

And finally we have a cute little birthday garland for the cute little ladybug! Just print out the number of blank circles you need for the letters and you can use the ladybugs circles as spacers. Or use this printable as a pattern for scrapbook paper! I simply glue the lettered circles on the scalloped circles.



Then I used a hole punch to create two holes in each piece and strung them along with red ribbon. Super simple project!
