About Mrs. Cowboy Boot

Good Bridesmaid!

July 20th, 2009 @ 1:37 pm by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

A couple of days ago, Bridesmaid AC was skimming through etsy.com while at work when she came across something she thought I might like. Boy, was she right! I clicked on the link she sent over and, bingo, there were our escort cards.

I’d gone back and forth between doing horse breeds as our table names versus the traditional number scheme. I even dreamt of Mr. CB slaving away at drawings of each breed similar to the horse he drew for our save-the-date. Unfortunately, Mr. CB didn’t feel the same way and off I went, in search of something to suffice.

Enter etsy seller: seasonaldelights. I contacted her and let her in on my plan. I thought maybe she could make us table cards that matched her adorable gift cards and people could match up the image on their respective tags. We’ll most likely have ten tables. She happened to have nine horse images on hand. The tenth? Mr. CB’s, which will definitely be our table!

The seller said she can replace the string with ribbon and make the matching table cards at any size we want. I’m considering having the escort cards sent to a calligrapher so people’s names can be added–I definitely should not write them.

Seasonaldelights has some other gorgeous cards and tags! Check out these images from her site, below:





Should we do ten tables of horses (that are a little bit similar and might get confusing) or should we intersperse some other farm animals? Would it be weird if we did five horse tables and sprinkled in the others?

Those are great! Love the color and antique feel. I’d say go with adding some other farm animals, as you said it might get confusing with horses that small. The little bird is SO cute!

What about horse related items? Like a saddle, horseshoe, etc.? The cards are so cute, btw!

I like Miss Beagle’s idea of mixing in some horse related things–cowboy hate, saddle, etc.

These are adorable!

How about ten horse tables, but make sure to write the breed name on them so that people can definitely tell them apart?

I love the idea of using the different horse breeds! It ties the invites/save the dates and decor all together. I like how her tags look a bit sepia-like.

I love these of course. I think you should either stick with the horses or keep on one or two horses and throw in other animals. I’m sad you didn’t post the rabbit and bird on. It’s my favorite! :o)

I think Beagle has a winning idea… if not I like the idea of peppering the farm animals :)

what about various horse positions such as standing, trot, gallop, canter, jump, etc? Could the text description be a part of the art?

I also think that Miss Beagle had a great idea - horse related items! The cards are just beautiful!

Talk about serendipity! I think you should do all with the horses, but probably include the breeds or make the names in different colors so it’s more obvious for people who might be able to tell them apart.

Those are very cool. I think you should stick with all horses. People will have fun figuring out which table to go to–it’ll make for some good ice breakers!
