{Party Inspiration} Leighton's Western Birthday Party

Howdy y'all! :)

I'm sure you're aware, but western-themed birthdays and baby showers are popping up everywhere right now! So we were thrilled when one of our wonderful clients asked us to create the western-inspired invitations for her daughter's third birthday party.

Our client Jacqueline was planning a backyard BBQ for her sweet daughter Leighton, complete with yummy treats, carnival games, and pony rides! The invitation sets the tone for the event, so together we came up with the concept of sending this plush toy horse in a box filled with hay, with the burlap-matted invitation tied to it's reigns.

The result was downright adorable, if we do say so ourselves! :)

The invitation reads:

"Yee-Haw!
Saddle up the family and join us
for a backyard BBQ dinner to celebrate
Leighton's 3rd Birthday!
This calls for some horsing around with
pony rides, games, carnival fun, and cake of course!"

Each horse was nestled in a bed of hay, just waiting for the recipient to take it out and play!

We wrapped the boxes with a sash of wood-grain paper, then affixed custom horseshoe labels.

The horses came in a couple different colors, and each was soft and sweet.

Who wouldn't love to get an invitation like this in the mail? It's sure to be a time of good old fashioned fun! :)
