Howdy Y'all!

Who is pumped for a wild west cowboy party!?! This chick! Today I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and put together his invitation. I just got some new photo equipment in the mail and so I decided to go ahead and use Kaiden as my guinea pig and get his invitation photos done at the same time. Right after he woke up from his nap I slipped him into some cute clothes and grabbed his oversized cowboy hat. I placed him on my setup, won his favor with yogurt melt snacks and sang crazy songs to get him to smile. I'm actually very surprised I was able to accomplish all of this by myself. I didn't think he would cooperate since getting him to sit still is nearly impossible these days. Our time was short but I got a few photos that I really like. As for the invitation, I did it all through photoshop. I pretty much took bits and pieces of different invitations I saw online and followed the format of someone elses. Now all I have to do is order and mail them out!



I've been gathering a ton of ideas together and posting them all on my board here on Pinterest.
This is going to be a DIY party and the goal is to have an awesome theme but spend the least amount of money possible. To be honest, I decided on the cowboy theme because I figured the food would be very inexpensive. BBQ, beans and chips sounds good to me! There are so many faraway family and friends that I wish could come but I'm so grateful for the group of friends we have here. We are only allowed 75 people and the guest list is already in the 60's. Who would have thought that when we prayed for friends God would give us way more than we could ask!?!
