4. Boy’s 6th Birthday Bug Party

From Emily via Spaceships and Laser Beams

I didn’t know a bug themed party could be so stylish and gross at the same time! A guy would LOVE celebrating with hissing cockroaches and eating dirt and worms (chocolate cake and gummy candies) and caterpillar kabobs (grapes)!

5. Ollie’s Bug Hunt

A boy’s sixth birthday was made even more special by celebrating with his favorite bug: the ladybug. Go here to see a cute cake, a ladybug piñata and a photobooth that turned everyone into a ladybug.

With a wiggle-worm one-year-old, mom decided a buggy party would be a perfect theme. She decorated everything in green, blue, yellow and orange for a summery feel.

I do think our Bug Collection is the greatest! Terrific color and a wide variety of insects make it easy to host a Bug Bash. Budget how-to ideas are included at this party.

Bug-topped cupcakes in grass-like wraps and LOTS of blue, green and orange lanterns ramped up the party style.

Darling cake and cupcakes are just the start of a wonderful food display. Notice the theme-perfect take-home favors, too.

A beautiful outdoor venue, a stylish set-up and awesome food choices all add up to a lovely party whose theme is still BUGS!

17. A Very Hungry Caterpillar Birthday Party

What a theme for a growing boy! The dessert table at this colorful celebration was filled with foods that the caterpillar eats throughout the book — clever!

From Janine Burk via Hostess With the Mostess

Bugs are joined by lizards, snakes, turtles — all things creepy and crawlie that might delight a young boy.
