You’re going to need some favors for the party, of course. Here are some easy ones to get you started..
How about a sheet of cowboy related stickers. What kid doesn’t like stickers? Just print on full-sized label sheeets, or print on plain paper and add adhesive with a xyron machine. (I couldn’t live without my xyron machine. If you don’t have one, check it out here: Xyron 900 5-9? Machine 9? with Idea Book)
Bookmarks are quick and easy. Here are some cute cowboy and cowgirl bookmarks that I made with paperdolls. Two are ready to print, and the blank ones can be personalized before you print, making them even more special. (I used the giddyup font). Just print on cardstock, laminate (I use my xyron machine, but you can also use contact paper), and cut out. Then punch a hole at the top, and thread some cord or ribbon through for a tassel.
Candy wrappers are next! These are for the hershey mini candy. Just add text, print out, laminate if you wish, and cut out. Then wrap them around the candy and tape ends together. The kids will think you are Martha Stewart!
Another cute idea for party favors are horseshoe photo frames. If you can get some used horseshoes from a riding stable or a friend who has horses, you’re in luck! Just spray paint them gold or silver. Take photos of each child riding the horse, and glue the picture to the back of the horseshoe!
Stay tuned…. Thank you notes and scrapbook pages are next!

I am a crafty (and somewhat crazy) WAHM of 15 year old twin boys. My boys and crafting are my passions, so this blog is dedicated to mom stuff and all things crafty. 
[...] But wait! There’s more… We haven’t covered party favors and thank-you notes yet, so Stay tuned for Part 2! [...]
Well, I figured if I was going to work that hard on an invitation, at least this way they might keep part of it at least!!
Those are really cute! I liked the idea that you made the cowboy a magnet, so it can be used.
