I've been asked to make 50 birthday invites for the middle of november.

She is having a themed birthday and wants her invites to have a western feel (she is having a wenches and cowboys do)

I have the perfect stamp for the front, but, I'm stuck as what else to do to give it that WESTERN look.

Anyone have any ideas?

There are some fonts which are like the old wanted posters, one is wrangler or this which is actually called wanted poster caps.

soak in tea to give the paper that antique look

(oh that tip is so lame - who doesn't know that....)
