Create a "Wanted" poster to serve as an invitation for the birthday party by using a half sheet of construction paper or card stock for the base of the invitation. Cut a sheet of paper in half with scissors.

Use a photo editing program on your computer to create a black and white photo or sepia toned photo of your birthday child. If your son has western clothes, he can dress in those for the photo to make it look more authentic. Make copies of the photo and tape one to each invitation.

Embellish the invitations if you desire. Glue some studs on them to look like spurs, cut up a bandanna into pieces and create a border for the invitation, or include a toy sheriff's badge with each invite for a fun touch.
