This darling COWGIRL + FARM THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Melanie Marra of Inha Festas in Brazil.
There are so many cute ideas in this farm cowgirl party! Some of my favorites are:
The cowboy hats on top of the candy tubes
The polka dot eggs inside of the wooden chicken coop
This is what Valerie said about the party- “My daughter turned FIVE this year. This particular birthday was a little bittersweet — a kind of graduation into the big-kid years. We wanted to celebrate this monumental birthday with a super special birthday that spoke to her. All who know our little Reesie, know how horse obsessed she is. We’re not quite sure where she gets it from, but we think it’s pretty precious. So, a horse themed party seemed appropriate. Luckily, here in the Western suburbs of Chicago, we are blessed to be surrounded by lots of beautiful horse farms. Her party was a super sweet celebration — a little bit rustic, a whole lot girly and 100% REESE! The kids had a ball riding real horses and enjoyed all that the rustic horse barn setting provided. We ordered pizza, had old fashioned pink lemonade and chocolate milk and all the kiddos were treated to a whole slew of yummy sweet treats to ensure a little “giddy up” in their step. It was a FABULOUS time. A birthday none of us with soon forget!”
This fun WESTERN THEMED FIRST COMMUNION PARTY was submitted by Susana & Clara of DULCESOBREMESA! So cute! So many adorable ideas that would be perfect for a birthday party or baby shower, even!
Susana said this about planning the party- “We styled this party for a modern First Communion celebration. The Western theme was a surprise for Raul, a very sweet boy who loves horses, cowboys and Playmobil® toys.
We created a single backdrop that we used for three different Western scenes that took place during this day-long celebration at different spots of Raul’s home.
First, as guests arrived they had their pictures taken at the photocall. A few hours later, cake and favors were provided after lunch was served We designed this cake that features a real Playmobil® figurine on top and the First Communion boy modeled figure at the bottom, who just joined the party and is wearing a cowboy hat. The cake was served on wooden plates with decorated wooden spoons, napkins and a mini flag topper. The favors were drawing pads and small chocolate boxes, also designed by us.
At last, the sweets table was presented with many yummy treats! Gummy hamburgers & sodas, cupcakes, popcorn, ham and cheese brioches, mini waffles with Nutella, ice pops, candy stones and a bank of m&m’s filled gold ingots.
As everything was designed and handmade by us with lots and lots of love!”

Put your cowboy hats on today for this one! An adorable COWGIRL FIFTH BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Ashley Keith of Cupcake Express is up next on KPI! The pink and brown color scheme couldn’t be cuter. I just love all the girly western touches!
Ashley said this about planning the party- “Ever since my daughter’s last birthday, she has been talking about wanting a cowgirl party. So, naturally, the theme we went with was cowgirls! I have always loved the paisley design on bandannas so I used that print throughout most of the party printables. My first stop was the fabric store as I have always loved burlap backdrops and this fit the theme perfectly. Then I set out to find mini hay bales, which was a lot harder than I expected. After searching all over, I finally found them at Michael’s craft store. They were exactly what I had been looking for to put on the dessert table. I also got small wooden crates at Joanne Fabrics along with some paper shreds to cover up the foam box that the cake pops were stuck in. I got some brown and hot pink bandannas at Wilco and tied them together and strung them around the table adding a little more of the bandannas print.
My daughter had to have a cute cowgirl outfit, so with tons of searching for the perfect one, I finally found it from Rachel Casey’s. Then I went to Target and found the pink straw hat and the pink cowgirl boots to finish off her outfit. She was one happy little girl when she saw what momma brought home. :-)
We stuck with the hot pink, brown and light pink theme throughout all the desserts. I knew I had to contact Lynlee’s Petite Cakes for cowgirl toppers as I have seen some of her cowgirl fondants before and just loved them. Once they arrived, they were even cuter than I had hoped. We topped half of the cupcakes with the cowgirl fondant toppers and the other half with the printable cowgirl toppers for the center piece. I then wanted to do caramel apples because they are my favorite and when I saw Roni’s Sugar Creations on Facebook and all her fabulous caramel apples I was hooked. I can’t even tell you how excited I was when I opened the box of caramel apples, they were awesome she even added little cowgirl hats to the top of each caramel apple stick that really topped them off. They were dipped in caramel and then chocolate and topped off with some hot pink drizzled chocolate, then she finished them with some bows and cowgirl hats. I had a hard time eating one because they were so cute, but once I took my first bite I couldn’t stop eating them! They tasted fabulous and really added the perfect touch to the dessert table. We made small cones out of the extra pattern paper from the cowgirl printable package and filled them with caramel corn. Next we added some cute paisley and cow print cake pops from Cupcake Cuties Bakery to the small wooden crates we had. I had Hayley Cakes and Cookies make some cowgirl cookies to match and they looked perfect for this party. We also bought glass root beer bottles and added our Cowgirl labels to them to help them fit the theme ever better.
For the Favors we filled small mason jars with some trail mix we made up and layered it into the jars. Then I added some pink paisley print fabric squares to the top of the jars to cover the mix and a printable sticker that said “Cowgirl Snacks”. We also had pink favor bags with some fun cowgirl goodies for the kids to take home. And last some mini cowgirl chocolates.”
This VINTAGE PINK COWGIRL BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Tania Peso of Totful Memories is just beautiful! If you’re planning a cowboy or cowgirl party, then definitely check out this party for some great ideas!
Tania said- “Our inspiration for this party was vintage lace and some sweet southern charm. I designed this collection with my niece in mind and so the simple silhouette of the cowgirl was a cute detail that was used throughout the printable collection. All things girly and oh course, pink were welcome for this sweet lil cowgirl shindig!
We started with the ribbon and lace backdrop, choosing to make the lengths varied to look more whimsical. The pink ruffled pompom cupcake toppers were inspired by a tutorial I saw from Paige of Paiges of Style. So simple and easy to make these cute and girly bobbles!
I have come to love spray paint after styling this party. We purchased the little horse figurines at the dollar store and decided to make them gold along with some buttons so to add a shine to the dessert table. One gold horse was used for the cake topper to our pink ombre cake. The rosette frosting was a new technique for me and although it was not perfect, I think it adds to the ‘handmade by mommy’ look :)
So many details worked together to create our rustic, yet modern cowgirl party; lace doilies, natural burlap, velvet, satin and leather ribbons. The lace cookies were so beautiful, it was hard to take a bite…but we all did, eventually!”
