I can’t believe I have a six year old! As is only fitting for my little horse girl, her only request was a pony-themed birthday party. (Naturally.) Her actual birthday happened to fall on the same weekend as our first horse show together, very apropos.
As you guys know, I love a creative party moment, so I worked with Minted to create the sweetest cowgirl paper suite, starting with these scalloped-edge invites that set the look for the party. Their quality is always unmatched, and they make it so easy to personalize online. I especially love that they collaborate with independent artists across the country. This particular designer had matching thank-you cards and stickers, which tied everything together perfectly. (Pro tip: I ordered the thank-you notes when I ordered the invites, because let’s be honest - I wouldn’t get to it otherwise.)
Minted also curates the best little extras - from horseshoe wax seals to vintage-style stamps. I’m hoping to teach Navy the value of an old school invite and hand-written thank you note, just like my mom impressed upon me.
We added all the finishing touches, like custom favor tags tied to burlap bags filled with horse-themed treats and cookies. The birthday girl had a horse cake and we celebrated in the most Navy way possible: at the horse show!
