This is a fun party that is perfect for a boy/girl sibling party. This party gives you tons of different ideas. You can mix flowers, bugs, dirt, veggies, etc. Send the invitations on flower packets
Decorations: Mix the Decorations using Flowers and bugs. Find Bug and Flower Tableware and mix and match. For centerpieces, put small pinwheel lollypops inside a tiny flower pot (fill the small flower pot with Styrofoam to hold the lollypop). You can also use flower cookies baked on sticks, chocolate pops, any lollypops, etc. Set one flower at each place setting or along the middle of the table.
Food: Flower Shaped Foods are great including sandwiches, cookies, etc. Make Chocolate Shaped Ants and put them throughout all the food.
Crafts: Have the kid’s decorate a small flower pot and plant seeds in it. The kids can also decorate planting markers (Herb signs, Flower signs, etc).
Games: Use a sandbox or fill a container with sand and hide toy bugs in it and have the kids dig for the bugs.
Favors: Fill Flower Pots with goodies and use a paint pen to write the kid’s name on the flower pot
Cake: Make Chocolate cupcakes with Green Icing and put chocolate flowers, gummy worms, and chocolate ants all over them.

Cat’s eat fish so a lot of the food and Décor could revolve around fish as well as cats.
Deocorations: Make Paw prints with Chalk going up to your door “Here Kitty, Kitty”
Food: Goldfish snacks, Use a fish cookie cutter to make fish shaped sandwiches and cookies, Get a Large Fish bowl to use for punch and make fish ice to go in it (Swedish Fish frozen in ice cubes), Make Fish Chocolates, a big Cat Cake
Crafts: Make Cat headbands for everyone either beforehand or have the kids make them at the party. The easiest way to make them is to get a headband (You can use the themed headbands you can buy (Princess, etc) and remove the décor so only the headband is there). Cut out the ears using felt and cut smaller sections for the inside of the ears and glue them on the headband.
Games: GO FISH! Have the kids go fishing in a mini pool or bucket filled with water.
Favors: Fill Cat bowls with goodies (cat stickers, candy)
Cake: Make a Two layer Round Cake and Ice White (or your color choice). Make Two Smaller round cakes: One is for the cat face and cut the other one to make two ears. Place the cat face and ears on top of the other cakes. Ice the face in a different color. Make a pet tag, eyes, nose, and whiskers out of fondant icing using cookie cutters (you can use black licorace laces for the whiskers but they are hard to find). Make the collar line around the face with icing (your choice to match your party) and add the pet tag in front. Put your child’s name on the fondant pet tag using food markers. Cut one Twinkie in half and place both halves in front for the feet. Ice over these. You can even add a long tail with twinkies.
