a wild things first birthday party
before my nephew henry, was born, my sister knew she wanted to have a "where the wild things are" first birthday party for him! this was such an amazing and fun party to plan and design. we went all out with paper, food, dessert + activities! to see more photos, click here.
one of my favorite things to design for this party was all of the bunting signs! we had 4 different sets around the house!
one can never have enough custom cups in their life! this design features henry's logo i created for him! i played off of his name and added an arrow that points to the left, since his middle name is west! we ordered two different chevron straws because we couldn't decide what color we liked better!
for our sweet treats, amy cakes made the incredible 3 tiered cake, the adorable monster cupcakes, as well as henry's "1" smash cake! not only were they gorgeous, they tasted incredible!
activities included coloring characters from the "where the wilds things are" book on pieces of paper and a photo booth station with fun props for guests to take photos of themselves!
we also had an indoor petting zoo that included a large tortoise, chinchilla, ring tail lemur, coatimundi, cockatoo parrot, a bearded dragon and a bunny! it was so cute to watch the little kids with the sweet animals!
the invitation featured party details on the front and a photo of henry in his "max" costume on the back, tied in twine with a tag that says "let the wild rumpus start!"
this cutie in his max costume was on the back of the invitation!
we had scratch cater the party and had all sorts of delicious food like pancetta "max" and cheese, pigs in a blanket (with local, oklahoma buffalo for the meat), hummus & pita and our own homemade monster munch trail mix, served in custom paper cones!
we presented the favors in a kraft chevron paper sack and guests took home "o henry" chocolate bars! they also got to take home pictures from the photo booth!
happy happy first birthday my sweet nephew!!
