An Adventurous, Outdoor, Huckleberry Finn-Inspired Birthday Bash

When it came to invitations, Jenny "didn't want anything cutesy." She settled on customizable cards from The Blue Egg Events.

Guests were encouraged to don raccoon hats à la Davy Crockett.

Jenny jazzed up some tents from B.E. Little You and Me by attaching feathers to the top. She also kept guests comfy (and dirt-free) by laying out blankets for sitting.

Since the party was held in the evening, Jenny served some chili and other suppertime fare.

Jenny also set up a baked potato bar with toppings that ranged from the traditional sour cream and chives to the more elaborate baked beans, mac and cheese, and pulled pork.

Jenny set up a slingshot station where guests shot marshmallows at vintage bottles and cans.

Initially, Jenny planned on letting kids "fish" in a nearby pond, but an extrahot Summer left her with a mere puddle. So instead, she set up a bait shop filled with gummy worms, frogs, Swedish Fish, and eggs.

Jenny gave each child a tackle box to fill with candy.

Vintage fishing gear and books made the party feel a bit more sophisticated.

Guests sipped on soda and swamp pop (aka ginger ale).

In addition to the slingshot station, kids were sent on a nature-themed scavenger hunt.

Guests placed their finds in these dollar-store nets.

Hudson's favorite trail mix fueled guests during the scavenger hunt.

Jenny used an antique shelf to display the treats. She donned the dessert station with antlers, a wooden "H" and "6," and two old Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn prints from Etsy.

Jenny said her traditional sugar cookies didn't fit the party's theme. Instead, she opted for no-bake cookies and acorn doughnuts.

Jenny enlisted the help of the Snohomish Pie Company to create these pint-size confections.

Jenny dressed up her cake — a homemade chocolate cake with a German chocolate and buttercream filling — by adding fresh greens and a Huckleberry Finn cake topper from eBay.

It was only fitting that the family's pets made an appearance at the party.

Jenny found copies of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer at Target for only a dollar! She wrapped each book with strips of plaid flannel, tied them with leather, and tucked in a feather to create the perfect party favor.

Jenny tied some cookies in twine to send home with guests.

Jenny says her son Hudson had an amazing time at his party. So much so that she's thinking of giving his bedroom a Huck Finn makeover. We can't wait to see the finished product!
