Western Shindig

Howdy Pardner!

Our friends, Tony and Brittney, moved to Arizona this summer. For a going away party we hosted a Western themed party in honor of their time in Texas. This was such a fun time for us all before bidding goodbye to our friends.

And, as far as party hosting--this is my favorite theme yet! Western parties lend to such vibrant colors and endless menu ideas. I will certainly host more of this kind!

used aluminum cans and red gingham ribbon for small flower arrangements
