Wild West Hoedown-BIRTHDAY BASH

For our girls birthday we decided to do a western themed shindig.  It was the most amazing birthday party with games, treats and pony rides.  Everything went perfectly and we are very blessed to have such wonderful, caring people in our lives that shared this special day with our daughters.  We have heard only great things about the party and appreciate all the love that we have received.  I have posted some of the pictures of before the party and a few during the party.  XOXO The Artiga's



Goody Bags filled with toys, handmade gifts and special treats:)


Handmade wreath that greeted our guests



My handmade Pin the Tail on the Pony game. 


I had about 20 different wanted signs with us and the girls +WeeWee (dog).  Look at previous posts where I uploaded a few of the posters.

My handmade decorations

Love the personalized water bottles and the mustache straws.

My previous student donated 3 cases of Jarritos drinks and we also had coca cola bottles

Area for face painter.  She was truly amazing and did a great job face painting.

Another sitting area for guests

Photo Booth-I had mustaches and a polaroid camera out for our guests to use and take home pictures.  Wanted everyone to capture their little ones with fun mustaches with the wanted poster.


Handmade birthday banner that I customize every year to fit the birthday theme.

Kids area filled with bubbles and miniature horses to play with

The pinata bags personailized for every cowyboy/cowgirl
The flowers, I LOVED inside Ball jars.  I also added the horseshoe with the girls names stamped on it.

Everyone likes to have sitting options......pull up a bail of straw!

A little sitting area for our guests


We rented a hot dog steamer that worked great for the kids!



Before party shot

Cowboy hats were given to all kids as they arrived to party.  Love that they also doubled as decoration!


Every Western party needs a General Store filled with sweets and treats.  Love the barrel inspired containers that I found. 



Kids tables made from bails of straw.  When kiddos arrived they received a bandana and a deputy badge.

Before party started...

Here come the ponies!  Sorry neighbors about them stepping on lawn:)

I love how the ponies hung out in front of our house for an hour after all the kids were done riding.

The Pinata-Mary the Trojan Horse.  Yes-Mommy made that for her girls!  Daddy did a good job holding it for the kids to hit.

Christian gets his turn hitting Mary.
Happy 5th Birthday Luca!!
