This Where the Wild Things Are Birthday Party was originally hosted by Lyndsey over at Kitchen Doughdough.
——
I’m loving getting all of these party submissions because it is inspiring me to be more creative about what can inspire the theme of a party! The last party was the age of the birthday boy. This time it’s the birthday boy’s FAVORITE BOOK! How cool is that? I love what Lyndsey did here. The wolf costume is too cute and I love the fact that making the book the party theme is almost like making the book come to life for your child!
Have a look, leave a comment, and then hop on over to Lyndsey’s Blog to see what else she’s got going on! You will definitely want to check out her Cupcake Par-Tea!
Enjoy Lyndsey’s party…..

The wild things were at my house for my son Max’s first birthday! I love parties, especially when there is a theme involved. I threw lots of parties for my third graders when I was a teacher. However, I’m not quite used to entertaining adults (see my note to self)! But wait, wasn’t the party for my son? Okay, we all know first birthdays are more for the parents. Max and his little friends had a great time too though!
The guest of honor was dressed in this adorable Max costume from the book!
Here is the cupcake tower I created for the party. Click on the pic to get a close-up of the cupcakes. (There is more info on my inspiration and recipes on my cupcake tower post.) My mom made the cake/cupcake toppers of Max from the book with my Max’s face on it. I bought the Where the Wild Things Are cupcake topper rings from ebay. The kids at the party took home the rings as party favors.
Here’s my Max with his monster toy that I ordered from Amazon. I’m still waiting on a Max bobblehead that I ordered-they sent me a Maxwell Smart instead! We used the big floor puzzle that has a picture from the book to entertain the kiddies for a little bit.
I created Max’s boat out of butcher paper, mimicking the one in the book that Max uses to sail to “where the wild things are”.
I love the new banner pieces you can buy…I picked the colors and letters I wanted and added pictures of the monsters from the book to complete the banner.
I used a crown cookie cutter for these “king of the wild things” cookies. They were delicious! I used my mom’s sugar cookie recipe…I’ll bake some more soon and post the recipe-you’ve got to try it!
Here’s the awesome table cloth my mom made. I scanned the pictures from the book and she ironed them on using photo transfer paper.
Daddy read the book to all the kids at the party. They were riveted! Below is another pic of my little king of the wild things. My mom made the adorable costume because I had to have him dressed up as Max from the book! I added the wolf tail and made his crown. I bought a crown at a party store, cut the top into points like the book, and added the wolf fur to the crown. He also had a royal scepter rattle to complete the look.
Note to self: Next time I throw a party 1) bake a little the night before (hopefully it won’t be Easter next time!) 2) be ready when your guests are instructed to arrive (yes, I was still frosting cookies and filling the punch bowl as they were arriving) 3) don’t let your husband fill up the pitcher (he left it filling up on the fridge water dispenser and it spilled all over the floor…yes, the guests were there to witness it) 4) clean up ALL of the dog feces from your yard (even though my hubby picked up the feces from the main part of the yard and it was out of the way, it was still a faux paw, as you could see some at the side and I’m sure it wasn’t very appetizing!)
Awesome Lyndsey!!!
Hi,
I love everything you made for the party. I was wondering how you made the costume and crown for your son, and where you found the materials for that and the banner. My son’s 1st birthday is in June and Where the Wild Things Are is the theme.
Thank you
Kate
Good day! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Wow, su perb blog layout! How long have you been blogging for? you made blogging look easy. The overall look of your site is magnificent, let alone the content!
What i do not realize is if truth be told how you’re not really much more smartly-favored than you may be right now. You’re very intelligent. You realize thus considerably relating to this subject, produced me individually believe it from a lot of varied angles. Its like men and women don’t seem to be involved except it is one thing to accomplish with Girl gaga! Your own stuffs excellent. At all times maintain it up!

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Ha ha… I was just online around and took a glance at these responses. I can’t believe that there’s still this much interest. Thanks for posting about this.

Kudos for placing this up, it has been very beneficial and told a lot
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Wow! This can be one particular of the most beneficial blogs We’ve ever arrive across on this subject. Basically Excellent. I’m also a specialist in this topic so I can understand your hard work.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
How will i extend all the different a Wireless N router? Concerning an Xtreme N handheld router (Dlink). I have to extend the reach inside the wireless signal. I understand how to acheive it to the G signal. I wish to realize how to do the idea on an N sign. Is it feasible use regular N routers as repeaters. If that is so, how you can configure them. Many thanks that information.

Nice read, I just passed this onto a friend who was doing some research on that. And he actually bought me lunch as I found it for him smile Therefore let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
you’re in point of fact a excellent webmaster. The site loading pace is incredible. It kind of feels that you’re doing any unique trick. Furthermore, The contents are masterpiece. you’ve performed a great job on this topic!

I say to you, I definitely get irked while people think about worries that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
