A pair of little boots and a coil of rope sit above a headline that curls like a rodeo poster, with prairie flowers and tiny stars around the edges. The card has a sense of humor, and the brown ink on cream keeps it handsome enough for grown-ups.
Write in the mom, the Saturday and the porch, and it is on its way to the family and friends who will show up in boots. The palette suits a boy or a girl, and it works especially well for a backyard or barn gathering.
The party ideas come straight from the picture: a barbecue or a chili pot, sweet tea in mason jars, bandanas as napkins, a cake with a tiny pair of boots, and a wagon by the gate for diapers instead of gifts. Keep it easy, keep it outside if you can, and let the boots do the talking.
