DIY Wild West Birthday

DIY Wild West Birthday



Howdy and Yee-haw! Must be one of the most and well said words during the day! Its my nephews Bob 6th birthday and cowboys and girls suddenly roaming all around the house. Cant believe how energetic 6th year olds could be. I designed the dessert table and all the printables used, I hope I did great, thank you for all the help from Bobs mom and her crews. Shes baking all the cookies , the puddings, the smores, and the cupcakes, plus all the food we got to eat that day, have I mentioned that to you? Isnt she some kind of kitchen wonder?

Enough talking, I guess, enjoy the party!


If you think Bobs mom done a great job in mouth watery department.... Youre in luck, shes accepting orders at the moment, contact her here.

The macaroon stand is also a paper printable, but to get it sturdy enough, I lined it with thick cardboard before assembling. Better than the idea of cutting through whole cardboard printable, arthritis alert!
See? Its now strong enough to hold a dozen macaroons.

Since we cant find many store bought cupcake stands that dont scream "girly", the cupcake stands is also part of DIY aspect of this party, its basically a styrofoam lined with wrapping papers and embellished with thin rope and japanese washi tape along the edges. Lucky to have wood patterned wrapping papers around.



The photobooth and props are all DIY too! The moustaches are all felt and the rest are cardboard. Including the wanted poster, my, boys do love it! Baby G help me colored in the hats! What do you think of her job?


Heres some of the results... Can you spot Baby G around? If you were wondering what did we do with such noisy cowboys/girls, we did had some games to play, there were coin tossing to an old boot, shooting range, hitting horse pinata, and passing hat to old time favorite like "Shell be Comin Round the Mountain". Why didnt I take pictures of those happy moments and props? It lasted only 5 minutes. Literally. And the props were too sad to be photographed. Mental note to self : take pictures BEFORE the party. During? Hire a photographer. Because you cant wrestle with one or two 6th years old while taking pictures.

So long, pardner! See you next time!
