I headed to Pinterest and did some google searching and found tons of fun ideas. I took ideas from several invitations and made one of our own to fit what we were looking for. How fun is this invite??
We wanted to make a fun photo booth but was struggling on what exactly I wanted. I thought about making a "mugshot" back ground so people could each hold their own sign for why they went to jail. We also thought about using a piece of plywood and stringing up tin cans, etc. But ultimately just decided to use a backdrop that looks like wood and make some fun signs. Cardboard signs and sharpies make everything a little more redneck.
No redneck party would be complete without "Redneck Win Chimes" and a "Redneck Dream Catcher"
Games really keep a party going so I made "drinko" which is a fun drinking game. Who doesn't want to Take a Shot or Give a Shot? I also did a Ping Pong toss, an antler ring toss (not shown but we did attach actual antlers to the side of our house and threw rings at them) and a toilet paper toss (also not shown but we used a toilet seat that was attached to a metal bar and we tossed toilet paper rolls into it.)
When we first decided to do a Redneck BBQ we started talking about what we were going to wear. I immediately knew I wanted to have a "pregnant belly", cans in my hair, a black eye and a fake cigarette. I also wanted to get a fake ankle monitor but they were $20 on amazon and I didn't want to spend that much on it!
We found Travis' wig right away and knew he was going to do cut off shorts, an armband tattoo and another tattoo with names crossed out, but the shirt was a late edition the week before the party. We just had a do it! Thanks Pinterest for that one!
We really weren't sure if our friends were going to dress up, or to what extent, but when they started showing up at our house it confirmed why these people are our friends!
These three ladies here with me are some of the best of the best. And this picture makes me laugh every time I see it.
Almost everyone dressed up! And it was 95 degrees that day so we were all on fire. That belly I was wearing was a heat magnet!! And my beer can rollers weren't staying in after a while so I finally had to just take them out!
How awesome does my husband look!?! I can't stop laughing over his look!
When my friend and her husband showed up we couldn't believe it. Travis and DJ had never met, but they dressed almost identical! We told no one what we were wearing so it was awesome that they were twinning. Right down to the same wig, cutoff shorts, arm band tattoo and a tattoo with names crossed off. One of the funniest parts was that on their name tattoo, DJ had the name "Daisy" crossed off and Travis had Daisy as his uncrossed off name!
It was such a fun day! Even though it was so darn hot we all had a great time!
Everyone voted on the King and Queen of trash. And Dalton and Faith won! Dalton won a "weener kleaner" and a back scratcher made with beer bottle tops. and Faith won dual back scratchers!
I think everyone had a pretty great time! We eat a ridiculous amount of food, ate twinkies, ding dongs and zingers for dessert, drank Coors light, margaritas and juice for the kids, of course! And visited and played antler ring toss late into the night. It was a party for the books!
