Cowgirl invites?

[joandcywalker]

I'm looking at making some cowgirl style invites for my daughters 6th birthday party. We are having line dancing!
I've got some images to use but I need backing paper. I though cow print or pink or brown gingham (pink for the girls invites and brown for the boys)

Does anyone know where I can get paper/card like this? I don't want to print it off myself, there are too many invites and my ink is precious!

Or if anyone has any bright ideas they are more than welcome!

have you tried looking for some wrapping or wall paper?

[bramblepie]

how about material and stick some onto the card invites

I've had a quick look for wrapping paper but no cow print.
I've thought about material but I'd rather use paper (although they have cow print in hobbycraft!)

Have you asked in the " shop till we drop" thread, some of our sponsors might have just what you're looking for.

My daughter is cow mad - I found a free download of cow print pattern and used paintshop pro to change the brown to pink - she loved it

We did a Western party when my son turned 7. it was brlliant fun but for invites I printed off wanted posters. For party bags I used plain white paper bags and drew a cow print on them. (Easy peasy) we fed them from tin foils rectangular cases like billy cans and made hot dogs and tortilla chips. It was a fab party. We hid gold stones in a sand pit and did panning for gold with sieves. had a tin Can Alley with old cans and bean bags, Had a horse shoe toss using some plastic horseshoes and 2 kitchen roll holders. And we played a pass the parcel type game - pass the rattlesnake. It was a brilliant party. we had hobby horse and hay bales to decorate and a friend of mine donated a wig wam that she'd made for school!

I've got some downloaded cowprint, I might use that.

That party sounds fantastic! We are trying to get some hay bales and I might 'borrow' some of your party games! thanks!
They are excellent invites too
