Invite people to your ladybug-themed birthday party with ladybug-themed birthday invitations. Use a word processing program, such as Microsoft Office Word, to type in your party details. You can insert ladybug-themed words throughout the invitation, like "Bug on over to Jane's Ladybug Birthday," to make it even more festive. Add clip art or picture of a ladybug at the top, and print out the invitation on half sheets of cardstock paper.

Use the same cardstock paper to cut out two dozen small triangles to make a ladybug banner. You can decorate the banner with ladybug stickers, the birthday girl's name or anything else with a ladybug theme. Hang the triangles on a piece of string, and then hang the banner somewhere where everyone will see it.

Instead of a big cake, make ladybug-themed birthday cupcakes. Line a cupcake pan with black and/or red cupcake liners, mix the cupcake mix, and bake according to directions. While the cupcakes are baking, mix up some red food coloring with the white frosting. Once the cupcakes have baked and cooled, frost them with the red frosting and create dots using black icing.
