Buck Fever

I had so much fun planning my son's 11th birthday party! He's really been getting into hunting with his dad, and like most hunters he's obsessed with everything the lifestyle includes! So it was only natural we celebrate in true hunter fashion!

Our jumping off point for the decorations was our abundance of deer antlers. My husband and I own an online hunting store and guide service and we spend a lot of time in the hills finding and collecting these beautiful treasures. We hung the antlers from the rafters of the pavilion we rented for the party and put them all around on the table and in front of it.

I'm a big DIY fan and made almost all of his decorations and cake myself. For his cake, I put foil in a cake pan before I baked it and kind of crinkled it around so that when I poured the batter in, it caused the look of "cliffs" when it was finished baking. I got the fake trees and candy rocks at a local baking shop, and sifted through all of his hunting figurines for the rest of my decorations. If you don't already have those D&B, and Tractor Supply have toy sets that include all of these
The rocks that you see a lot of the items pictured in were purchased at Joann's in the floral department, they're really meant to be flower pots, anything else that didn't fit in one of the rocks I covered boxes or other containers in camo wrapping paper also purchased from D&B.

This party was a huge success thanks to a lot of help from family and friends!
