We chose to have a butterfly party for our daughter because that was the theme of her bedroom at the time, and this made decorating much easier. I made small bags of coloured pop-corn, pinched and tied in the middle with a pipe-cleaner to form the body and antennae of a butterfly. These were suspended from a tree and looked like a swarm of butterflies hovering over the garden. Each child got a packet to take home. 
We ended off with a simple yet very effective looking butterfly birthday cake, made from a double layered, round sponge cake and decorated with bright sweets and icing.

Mind if I try that cake? And what did you do with the boys at the party?
The cake is fairly straight-forward - cut a circle cake in half from the 12 o' clock to 6 o' clock positions. Then cut from the center through to 4 o'clock and from the center through to 8 o' clock. Turn all the pieces so that there rounded edges are facing inwards towards one another, and arrange as butterfly wings. Decorate brightly.
The boy at this party was given bat wings and participated in all the activities as organised.
Good luck with your party!
