Hudson's ONE Wild Adventure-1st Birthday

Our sweet Hudson turned the wild one! It was quite the adventure of a year having Hudson join our family, so an adventure theme was perfect! I decided on ONE Wild Adventure- navy, white, and gray backyard party with arrows, teepees and dreamcatchers. I wanted hints of a wild one party, mixed with a boho/outdoor adventure feel. All decor was made by me: banners, the wild one backdrop, and Hudson's refinished navy and white high chair. It was a very special day spent with our loved ones, celebrating our little adventurer, Hudson!

• Activities / Games

  Create your own dreamcatcher station: older kids made cardstock and yarn dreamcatchers, and the little ones made teether dreamcatchers with wood rings and different textured ribbon. / Leave a birthday wish for Hudson: Hudson's middle name is stone so we had "blessing stones" where guests wrote a wish or blessing to him on the stone. They are now sitting in a glass jar in a shelf in his room. /Teepee: the kids loved playing in the teepee. They brought toys in, their dreamcatchers, played hide and seek. It was a hit!
