Mommy to Bee
Send the Invites!
Need some inspiration? Check out my Pinterest Board: Bumble Bee
Now that you landed on Bumble Bee or Honey Bee for the theme, you will need to pick invitations. You can create free ones here and send them via email (the standard in today’s world), or you can go old school and send mail in invitations. Some great places to find invitations are on Etsy, or Minted. Don't forget to include where the mom to be is registered for gifts!
Decorations
Decorations are the fun part. You really only need a cute table display, some balloons, and a cute photo-op area for the guests to grab a picture with the mom-to-be!
The table decor can be accomplished with a themed tablecloth, some greenery, and flowers. You can also choose to just decorate the food table (if you have one) or the area the guests will be sitting at to eat or play the games. You don’t have to go crazy unless you want to!
Below is some great inspiration for color themes and party ideas! Each image is hyperlinked to Amazon for your convenience.

If you are looking for a more elevated look, just decorate the tables with a table runner and greenery. You can add bee or honey accents.

Don’t Forget the Games!
Don’t Say Baby game. Everyone gets a clothespin and when they say baby they lose it to the person they are talking to. Whoever ends up with the most clothespins wins!
Put a jar out filled with Honeycomb and let guests guess how many are in there. Whoever wins gets the jar!
This great printed set on Amazon includes: Who Knows Mommy Best, The Price is Right, Bingo and Guest Quest.
Hilarious scratch off game for all ages. When you find the dad to be you!
Measure the Baby Bump
Guess how big the mom-to-be’s tummy is! (Some moms-to-be are quite sensitive about measuring their baby bumps so be sure to check with them first.)
Guests try different baby food flavors and guess what’s in the jar.
When guests arrive put a frozen baby ice cube in their drink. Whose ever ice cube melt first wins!
My Water Broke!
Make a Baby!
Guests try their best at making the “perfect” baby out of Playdough.
Food
Some light snacks and desserts are all you truly need. You will need some good finger foods for your guests or save yourself the trouble and get it catered! If you are going to make snacks yourself, here are some cute baby themed options that are always a hit-even for the pickiest eater!
Fruit kebabs, deviled eggs, charcuterie boards, pinwheel sandwiches, salads, bagel bar.
Don’t forget the bubbles for the other guests! Brut Rose at the “Momosa” Bars are always popular!
Prizes and Favors
Don’t forget prizes for any of the game winners.
Favors for everyone that took time to shower the bride with love is always a nice touch, and you don't need to break the bank. Below are some fun inexpensive thank you’s you can provide your guests!
