It’s a pretty awesome day when we get a party as cute as this one submitted by a reader. Henry’s parents are a creative couple so we wouldn’t expect anything less, but still this family party they planned for their son Henry’s first birthday and Dol is pretty sweet.

They chose a loose “theme” of gold, wolves, and crowns (could you die?!) and infused little details using those spectacular guiding principles about the party.

Pretty much never tire of those big mylar balloons!

That little shot from his invite is too good!

For a fun activity they put together a crown-making station so all of Henry’s guests could celebrate in proper style. It turned out to be the hit of the party and nearly everyone went home with a real creative crown.

Or glasses.

Little wolf tags on the ends of the balloons! Love little bits of whimsy at a kiddo’s party.

How sweet is Henry’s little outfit?! His shirt is from Zara, the crown is from Oeuf, and the pants are handmade by mama.

Happy birthday little Henry! Awesome party planning skillz, Christine and Ian.
