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.”
The details of this COWBOY WESTERN THEMED THIRD BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Alexis of Alexis Campbell Event Styling are just darling!
Here is what Alexis had to say about planning the party- ”When deciding on a theme for my son Zachary’s third birthday, a cowboy theme was the first thing that popped into my head. As the plan began brewing I knew I wanted something simple and not overly “kiddy”. First stop was the printables, which didn’t take long since The Tomkat Studio was reading my mind with the most adorable red and blue set. As I continued to browse the sites I came across an adorable cowgirl party put together by Amber of Fashionably Baked for her daughter. Amber’s invitation was the perfect fit for Zachary’s party, needing to only be tweaked from Cow Girl to Boy. Amber had the proof in my hand only a few days later and the invitations were ready to go.”
The adults were treated to homemade sausage and peppers, pasta salad, Greek salad, and sliced watermelon, all specially prepared by Zachary’s MIMI. The kids enjoyed the ever famous Chick-Fil-A chicken tenders, homemade macaroni and cheese (by yours truly) and sliced watermelon. At the “watering hole” the adults enjoyed ice cold water with fresh lemon and lime slices and galvanized buckets full of bottles of beer. Drinks were served in mason jars tied with jute and topped off with a blue or red striped straw from The Tomkat Studio. Also, everyone was able to cool off at the refreshing, yet filling, rootbeer float station, what a hit! Vanilla ice cream was scooped into mason jars and topped off with ice cold rootbeer and enjoyed by all under the hot Florida sun.
Desserts
The goal of the dessert table was to keep it simple. In keeping with that, I went with vanilla cupcakes, caramel apples, s’more pops, potato chips and chocolate chip cookies. Mandy at Sugar on Top provided the most delicious sugar cookie cowboy boots, hats and stars that matched the printables to perfection. I also added a “make your own trail mix” station on the table for all to scoop a perfect combination of snacks for themselves to go in brown paper bags with a “thank you” tag on the front. Everyone went home with smiles on their faces as well as stuffed bags of yummy trail mix!
Each child was able to dress the part as each seat at the kids table included a bandana, cowboy hat and Sherriff’s badge. The cowboys and cowgirls kept busy as coloring pages from Anders Ruff were waiting for each to color on while their parents made their plates. Bales of hay were lined in the back yard for the kids to sit on while waiting for a pony ride. When Zachary saw the pony he was so excited he wanted to keep it, but not so happy when he found out that wasn’t an option! He never got off the pony and enjoyed every minute with “his” horses. All of the kids wore their hats and bandanas and it was simply adorable. I will never forget this birthday and the look on Zachary’s face. He truly felt like a cowboy for the day. Now the tricky part, having to top it next year!”
This incredible WESTERN COWBOY + SADDLE UP 2ND BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Cathy Cattaneo of 505 Design+Paperie! If you’re planning a farm, western or cowboy party then I hope you find a lot of ideas here!
Cathy said- “We celebrated my nephew’s second birthday with a western cowboy party. My sister had a couple of different ideas in mind but eventually settled on the theme since he loves his rocking horse and the vintage Red Ryder Horse we have at our house.
Creating a dessert table can be a little tricky when the guest of honor has an egg and peanut allergy. My sister found a wonderful road side stand that sells homemade pies and was able to order them with no egg wash. I made the s’mores pops using over-sized and regular marshmallows and we put my mom in charge of the haystacks. She substituted the peanut butter for sun-butter {made from sunflower seed} it surprisingly tasted the same!
The kids were entertained in true cowboy fashion with a shooting range (with Nerf guns and tin cans), pony rides via the rocking horse and the vintage Red Rider Pony, and a camp fire. Each buckaroo received their own cowboy hat and survival kit {s’mores} as a party favor.”
