{Inspiration Board} Bumble Bee Birthday

I'm excitedly working on a bumble bee birthday party for a sweet, soon-to-be two year old girl, Samarra. I've been bouncing ideas back and forth with her mother until she stumbled upon an adorable bumble bee cake (#6 in the inspiration board below). The inspiration exploded from there and I found so many amazing ideas from just a little research. I created this invitation for her that I wanted to share with all of you (look for it shortly in my Etsy shop).


I'm going to be focusing on a soft yellow, white and light green with small accents of black to keep it light and girly. Here is the inspiration board I created to get the feel for the overall theme:
