Bumble Bee Baby Shower Ideas

There are lots of great ways to invite people to this exciting shower. If you want to stay on the simple side of things, just create traditional invitations in the shape of a bee hive. Place a little bee flying around the hive for a cute touch. Want to take things up a notch? Use yellow paper as your background with adorable black text. Affix a couple of pop out bees, and use wording like “Mommy-to-Bee” for some added fun. If you’re having a fairly intimate shower, wrap the invitation around a bottle of honey and deliver it to each potential guest.

Games are always the hit of the party, and while you can incorporate almost any traditional baby shower games with this theme, feel free to get a bit creative too. You could have a spelling bee where all of the words are pregnancy or baby related (or even bee related). Make certain you throw in some really tough ones too. A listing game where guests list as many movies, TV shows, and television commercials that feature bees is usually a hit as well. The guest who correctly lists the most wins. For example, guests could not only list the bee for Honeynut Cheerios, but also movies like Bee Movie, The Secret Life of Bees, and even Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Do your research before you start this one, though, because people are likely to come up with some fairly obscure titles.

The food is always going to be one of the things people remember most, and this is the time to get really creative. The decorations that involved Bit O Honey and Honeycombs cereal could all serve as a great way to get started. There are lots of other ways to incorporate this theme here too, though. Sugar cookies in the shapes of bees or hives is a cute idea, as is cake pops shaped and decorated like bees. One easy, cute snack is to make Hunny Bee Cookies by topping round store-bought cookies with black frosting, a mini Twix bar, marshmallows on either side of the Twix, and yellow icing on top. The cake could be something as simple as a hive shape or you could get complicated with fondant icing and bees flying all around. Feel free to go with well-decorated cupcakes in place of the cake, as many baby showers do these days.
