A Bug’s Life Baby Shower Invitation
Let’s start with the first impression – the invitations. Ditch the generic cards and get ready to craft some showstoppers! Here are a few ideas that’ll have your guests buzzing with anticipation:

- Tiny Treasure Trove: Find small, clear boxes and decorate them with grass and miniature bugs. Slip in a rolled-up invitation and a tiny ladybug charm for a keepsake.
- Flik’s Flickering Firefly: Cut out firefly shapes from yellow cardstock and attach them to thin wires. Write the invitation on the firefly’s body and string them up like a twinkling garland. Encourage guests to “follow the light” to the party!
