Birthday invitation

Wyatt's Wild West

The pony is named Biscuit and he sets the pace for everyone.

Part of the TinselLux™ collection: invitations in stitched leather, tufted velvet, linen and satin.

The material is the card: linen with a visible weave, velvet with a nap, leather with its grain. It costs the same as every other invitation.

A birthday invitation for a ranch afternoon, where eight is old enough to hold the reins and not old enough to be trusted with them. Guests arrive on gravel, park near the fence line and walk toward an arena that smells like hay and warm dirt. There is a lead rope, a helmet rack, a water trough the small children mistake for a feature, and a folding table of brisket, white bread and pickles under a pop-up.

The afternoon turns at the stick-horse race, which is run twice because the first one is disputed. One buckle is awarded. It is heavier than it looks, it is bigger than the hand it is handed to, and it goes to school on Monday whether or not it goes with the outfit.

The wording on this card

The herd is gathering for
WYATT'S 8TH BIRTHDAY

Every line of the wording is an example, and yours to replace. The title is painted into the artwork. Type your own and it is drawn again with your words.

What to actually tell people

Send a pin, not the address Ranch roads defeat most map apps and the mailbox number is not on the gate. Tell them which cattle gate to turn at and whether to close it behind them.
Closed-toe boots or no horse Say it in the invitation and say it again the morning of. Nobody near a pony in sandals, and there will be one family in sandals.
Shade is the whole plan One pop-up over the food table, a cooler of water at the arena rail, and a hose and soap by the barn for hands after the animals. Parents will stay put if there is somewhere to stand out of the sun.
One buckle, awarded at the end Give a single trophy buckle for the stick-horse race and hand out bandanas to everyone else as they leave. Awarding it last keeps the afternoon moving and keeps the drive home quiet.
