HORSE BIRTHDAY INVITATIONS

HORSE BIRTHDAY PARTY INVITATIONS #1 - Using a die-cut horse or horseshoe as a pattern, cut these out of tan cardstock to form your invitation. Using a gel pen, write out your party details in calligraphy. On one side write, "Gallop! Don't Trot on Over for a Rootin' Tootin' Wild Horse Birthday Party! On the reverse side, write all of the following party details:

Big, Bad Birthday Roundup On: (date and time of party)

HORSE PHOTO INVITATIONS - Cut 8 1/2" x 11" tan card stock into 2 pieces and fold in half. Using decorative scissors trim edges of photo of your child in western attire on horse, so photo is slightly smaller than card stock. Glue photo to front of invitation. Put "Gallop, Don't Trot for Some Rootin' Tootin' Fun!" above photo. Either type or handwrite on left inside:

Calling all cowpokes. Come one, come all.

EMBELLISHED READY-MADE HORSE BIRTHDAY PARTY INVITATIONS - Buy ready-made horse theme invitations and embellish picture. Put brown glitter on the horse's mane and edges of ears. If there is a saddle, add sequins or jewels.


WESTERN AND/OR HORSE BIRTHDAY PARTY COSTUMES

Invite your little cowpokes to get all duded up in their wrangler attire. Any combination of jeans, plaid shirts, fringe vests, bib overalls, cowboy boots and hats will help set the stage for a fun wild horse party.


HORSE BIRTHDAY PARTY DECORATIONS

Using a little imagination, creativity, and lots of horse-themed decorations, ya'll be able to rope in your little fillies and colts in no time. We reckon some of the following decorations will strike your fancy and help you create a festive atmosphere for your Horse Birthday Party:

• As guests arrive, send them over to the branding station where they will be identified as V.I.P.G.'s (Very Important Party Goers) with a special "branding" iron. Use rubber stamps or tattoos.

• If you're looking for a real eye-catching entrance, here's some great barnyard decorations. Namely, a Silverado Horseshoe Entrance, a Black Horse, and Brown Horse. This would certainly make for a great photo-op!

• Decorate ceilings with 2 different colored twisted streamers and clusters of balloons with curling ribbons. Select from black, brown, red, white, or blue.

• Decorate archways or doorways with streamers for your wranglers to pass through.

• Decorate wider walkways with brown sheets tied back with rope.

• Make sign that says "Welcome to (Your Child's Name) Birthday Corral" and hang on the front door for guests to see as they arrive for your horse birthday party.

• Line walkway with rope.

• Display horse toys or use Jumbo Horse Foil Balloons in your party room for decoration.

• Hang Horse Wall Decorations on your party room walls and when the party is over, transfer them to your child's bedroom walls.

• Put horse mylar balloon on birthday child's chair and helium balloons on other chairs.

• Put sign on bathroom door that says "Fillies & Colts" or "Cowgirls & Cowpokes".

• Hang a Horse Flag Banner outside to alert your guests of your party location or hang it around the ceiling of the party room.

• Use horseshoes as a balloon weight to display floor balloon bouquets throughout room.

• Sprinkle Horse Confetti on your table tops for added horse decor.

• Cover your party tables with burlap and sprinkle strands of hay on top, like you would confetti, and tie off the corners using licorice laces.

• Place Horse Activity Placemats at each of your cowpokes' place-setting and they can all do the activities on the back while waitin' on their grub.

• Add a horsey table runner down the center of your party table. Either make one horse-printed fabric or dismantle a horse calendar and affix the photos to a piece of fabric and lay it down the center of the table.

• Speaking of horse calendar photos, they are perfect for creating horse-themed placemats. If the photos are large enough to stand on their own, just laminate the picture and they are ready to for you to serve up your grub. If the photos are too small, then glue them to construction paper and then laminate.

• Create a Bryer horse display in the center of your table using a few horses, along with some mini hay bales, fencing, and horse tack. Attach a bouquet of balloons in the center.

• Hang horse posters on walls and/or fences.

• Hang Western Cut Outs on your walls to bring the horse theme alive.

• Hang a Personalized Horse Birthday Banner on one of your party room walls. Here's another Horse Birthday Banner to consider.

• Play country music in background.

• Put a fun Horse Yard Sign in your yard to alert your cowpokes of your horse party.

• If you have access to horse tack, then opt for making an extra-special photo memory, display hay bales, a saddle, and a western mural on wall or fence and take photos of each cowpoke. If you plan on having a horse put it in the middle of the western set and take photos of each cowpoke sitting in the saddle.
