A Butterfly theme can make a great party for a little girl’s birthday party (or even a big girl’s). It can also make a fun theme for women’s ministry events that concentrate on “new life” in Christ, “change”, “emerging” to do more for Christ, or even “creation”. Makes a great spring or summer theme.
Butterfly themes make for a beautiful teas such as ones honoring mothers or friendship teas.
