Bumblebee Birthday Party with FREE Printables

After designing some Ladybug Birthday Printables for a birthday party last month, I had someone ask me to design the same party elements with bumblebees. So since I took the time to create these projects, I decided to SHARE them with YOU!

So here’s the Bumblebee Themed Birthday Party with FREE printables!

FREE BUMBLEBEE BIRTHDAY PRINTABLES

For this 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 8.5×11 inch paper. You can also add a little personal message to the top and bottom of the label!

Click here: water bottle labels

 

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!

Click here: cupcake liners

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!

Click here: table tents

 

And finally we have a cute little birthday garland for the cute little bumblebee! Just print out the number of blank circles you need for the letters and you can use the bumblebee 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!

Here is a blank JPG circle so you can customize your own message…
Just right click and save to your desktop.

AND OF COURSE AN INVITATION.

Well, that’s it for today! I hope everyone enjoys the FREE bumblebee birthday party printables! Who knows… maybe someday I’ll do some more party decorations now that I know how quick, easy & affordable it really is!

    Thank you! I might use these for my baby girl’s first birthday. She is the third kid, so I’m trying to come up with something unique that is just for her, not a rehashing of a previous party.

    We love Bee’s in our family…long story, but if you look up what bees symbolize you will love them even more (souls). I lost my brother Bobby in 1995 to AIDS and we had a “bee” incident at his gravesite, and ever since my sister and I think Bees are his way of joking around with us. He was quite the prankster. Hope the story doesn’t sound morbid, but more spiritual. When I saw your link I had to stop by! If you go to my site and look at my dining room turned office link, you will see the glass “bee” on the buffet table behind my desk. My hubby and girls got it for me as a gift to remember my bro. Thanks for the “BEE” buzz today 🙂 Super cute theme!!

Wanna do some for me 😉

    How do you enlarge these without the image getting blurry? When I click to print them, they come up in a little 2×2 square in the upper lefthand corner of the paper. So I enlarge them, but they print real blurry. They are so adorable and I really want to use these. Someone please help!!

    • howtonestforless says

      at

      Don’t click on the image. Click on the text below the image where it says to download. Hope that helps!!

  23. Aarein says

    at

    Thanks for posting! Do you recommend a particular paper for the banner?

    • howtonestforless says

      at

      Hi Aarein! I would suggest using cardstock. It’s a little big thicker than normal paper so doesn’t bend as easily. Works great for me!

  24. Aarein says

    at

    Thx for the response. Now I just need to get a software to edit the PDF and I’m on my way 🙂

  25. Jodi says

    at

    I have a bee classroom and am so excited about making a banner. I am wondering if there is any way to edit the PDF? I was wanting to type my letters directly onto the blank circles. Just wondering…

    Thank you for these images! 🙂

    • howtonestforless says

      at

      Hey Jodi! Email me what you need for the text and I’ll send it over to you ready to print!
