| I think you could incorporate some grasshoppers, ants, caterpillars, etc., to make it look more masculine. Instead of using flowers and pastel colors, I’d go with leaves, greenery and primary colors. Try searching on bugs instead of butterflies. A lot of the ideas will work for either. I like to go with the less is more idea. Don’t go all out with butterflies, just use a few here and there for accents. I’d include maybe the butterfly mobile (link below)and a few other decorations, but not use themed napkins, table cloth, plates, etc. For favors, glue a butterfly on a little paper bag and fill with non-themed goodies . I did a quick search and found a few items that I thought were interesting. http://www.billybear4kids.com/butterfly/flutter-fun.html I thought this was kind of neat.
