Printables for Pardners!Ning designed all the awesome partyprintables and the dessert sta on, even themacaroon stand is a paper printable, butto get it sturdy enough, Ning lined it withthick cardboard before assembling. She alsomade a cupcake stand that doesnt screamgirly - basically it is Styrofoam lined withwrapping papers and embellished with thinrope and Japanese washi tape along theedges. The photo booth and props are allDIY too - the moustaches are all felt and therest are cardboard; including the wantedposter that the boys loved!

Howdy Cowboy!Games included coin tossing into an oldboot, shoo ng range, hi ng a horse piataand passing the hat to old me favouriteslike Shell be Comin Round the Mountain.

TOP TIP: Ning didnt have me to takepictures of the games as she said itlasted only 5 minutes literally! So heradvice is to take pictures BEFORE the partyand for ac vi es during the party, hire aphotographer because you cant wrestlewith one or two 6th year olds while takingpictures.
