Ya'll join us for a country celebration!

Let's just start this post with a :) !!!!!!!!!! I'm excited, can you tell? D's mom is turning the big 50 this year and her husband is throwing a surprise party for her. Naturally, D and I would be helping (she's a great mother-in-law) and I just finalized the invitations...woohoooo! The theme of the party is country/western and I definately wanted to incorporate that into the invites.

I created the invite using Photoshop CS3 and I downloaded the fonts Nashville and Edmund for free from Dafont. I love working with new fonts. I think it makes such a big difference. Moving on, after Google searching country/western invites, I found an invite that looked like a Wanted poster. I thought this would be a great and fun twist.

Three hours later, I had my first version. I showed it to D's stepdad and a week later and two versions down, I (finally!) finalized the invite. We're printing the invites on tan-colored paper and then burning the edges to create a rustic look. But since I'm naturally impatient, I'll show you the invite before I print it.

I'll post the complete invite (burned edges and all) by the end of the week. What do you think??
