Henry's Wild Rumpus

I had a lot of ideas in my head for Henry's first birthday party. Now I know he wouldn't know what we did but I love any excuse for planning parties. One of my ideas was Where the Wild Things Are and when a local mama was selling several things from her party I took it as a sign. 

I started off by ordering invites from this Etsy shop. 

I dont have too many project pictures but I did cover some paper mache letters from Hobby Lobby with moss that comes in sheets. 

I also got a piece of wood and painted this sign for the front door. 

As guests walked in the door I had the guest book on the entry hall table. I just had a hard back copy of the book and asked everyone to sign a message for Henry. 

Here is a close up of the sign I painted for the table.

Next to the table I had paper crowns for anyone who wanted one. 

Here is a picture of the mantle. I added the Henry letters in front of the window but somehow managed to not take a picture.

A sweet friend let me borrow this vintage high chair and I added on a banner and Henry's birthday crown. 

In the kitchen, I had bubbles on the table. I printed off labels that said, "A trick to tame the wild things".

I hung a banner on the butlers pantry. 

Gold mylar balloons in the window

I set up the drink area in the dining room. 

Of course we had to have Henry's Hard Soda!!

Here is the food and cake table.

On our vintage greenhouse window I put up pictures of Henry from each month. 

On the dining room table, I put succulents in my reclaimed wood box.

In the backyard we set up Henry's birthday present, a teepee and also some wood displays that a friend let me borrow. They were the kind you put your face in for pictures. 

I ordered this shirt for Henry off Etsy and it was perfect!

Of course I hardly took any pictures during the party....

As people left, I had cookies packaged up for favors. I made it really easy and just bought them from Costco. 

Happy Birthday Henry!!!
