    Our happy, sweet baby boy turned one year old a few weeks ago. I have no idea how this happened. How are we already at the one year mark?! They tell you that time goes by fast, but I was not prepared for this. To celebrate his first year of life, we threw a spectacular "Wild One" safari themed birthday party for our family and friends. We also celebrated his actual birthday with a healthy banana smash cake photoshoot.

    Wild One Safari Birthday Party

    A safari/jungle theme is probably one of the most popular trends right now for birthdays (and also baby showers). Just a basic google image search will yield hundred of images that you can sort through and gain inspiration from. Well, since I have already spent countess hours researching and planning every detail to bring this party together, you don't have to! I am sharing some amazing wild one ideas, recipes, and party details with you.

    Wild One Dessert Table with Decor

    >> Wild One Safari Decor

    Let's talk about the decor, aka the items that basically brings the theme of your party to life. I have linked everything I used for Kai's wild one safari party below (in affiliate links).

    • Welcome sign with milestones - I purchased an editable welcome sign with milestone information off of Etsy. It was super easy to edit and save, which I then had it locally printed on a foam board and propped on an easel.
    • DIY balloon garland - make your own balloon garland with garland tape and balloons. I picked a neutral look using a combination of mocha brown balloons, ivory balloons, and a hint of gold balloons.
    • DIY boxwood hedge backdrop - there are lots of tutorials on YouTube that you can follow to make a jungle backdrop using artificial boxwood panels. I also added some artificial palm leaves to the backdrop and around the dessert table to give a more lush effect.
    • Custom lasercut wood sign - this was purchased from a local company, but there are other options and styles available for purchase online from other vendors.
    • Jumbo animal figurines - these extra sized plastic figurines complemented the desserts on the table so well.
    • Small animal figurines - I decorated the food table with these small plastic animal figurines.
    • Large plush animals - displaying large plush animals are the perfect touch to bring the whole look together. You can pick from a huge number of jungle animals including: giraffe, lion, tiger, zebra, gorilla, elephant, cheetah, white tiger, hippopotamus, and rhinoceros.
    • Balloons - we also had a bunch of animal print balloons and gold leopard print balloons
      floating around on the ground and hung to the front door outside.
    • Birthday banner - we hung a monthly birthday banner with monthly milestone photographs above the food table.

    >> Wild One Safari Desserts

    The desserts are also something that needs to be carefully planned. These items are basically extra decorations on your dessert table.

    1. Cake - we purchased Kai's birthday cake from a local baker. We topped it off with a gold birthday candle. For a more economical option, you can make your own cake. Just adapt the following recipes to make a layered cake: vanilla cake, double chocolate cake, or lemon cake. Then, decorate with fondant. To decorate your cake in line with the safari theme, try using  animal fondant cutters and/or palm leaf fondant cutter. You could also top the cake with plastic animal figurines.
    2. Cupcakes - we also purchased the safari animal cupcakes from the same local baker, but for a more economical option you can make your own vanilla cupcakes with fondant.
    3. Cake pops - I made the safari animal print cake pops (clink the link to see full recipe). I used gel food colouring to dye the white chocolate coating and to hand paint the animal print on top with cake decorating brushes. I also needed cake pop sticks and displayed the finished cake pops on a wooden cake pop stand.
    4. Sugar cookies - we purchased wild one sugar cookies from a local baker, but for a more economical option you can make your own sugar cookies with royal icing.
    5. Mousse cups - we also served mini nutella ferrero rocher mousse cups which can be made in 5 minutes.

    Safari Party Favors

    We had the party favors set up as a cute "adopt an animal" display. I filled favor boxes with little stuffed animals and popped their heads out of the window. I also added a miniature book and sugar cookies inside. To complete the look, you can add a thank you tag tied onto the handle with burlap string. For the display, I created the "adopt an animal" sign on photoshop using safari-style font, and placed it into a wooden picture frame.
