If you're throwing a party with a Western theme, your invitations should reflect this. Incorporate Western symbols, images and colors when making the invitations to encourage your guests to enter into the spirit of the party.
Step 1
Purchase card stock in a shade from the southwestern color palette, such as dusty rose, burnt orange, tan or sage green. Or choose an eye-catching shade, such as lime green or turquoise.
Step 2
Trace the shape of a cowboy boot or a cactus with a pencil on the invitation paper using a stencil.
Step 3
Cut the shape from the paper with scissors.
Step 4
Cut squares from a bandanna in your favorite color and hot-glue the fabric pieces onto the front of the invitation.
Step 5
Turn the invitation over and write the party details--time, date, location and RSVP information--with a marker.
Step 6
Adorn both sides of the invitation with Western-themed stickers, such as yellow roses, Western stars or cowboy hats.
