Cowboy Birthday Party Feature

I don’t know what it is, but ever since I moved to Texas I have been super into the whole Western/Cowboy party theme. I think it’s my cute neighbor hood boys riding around on their scooters saying ‘yee haw’ and greeting me with a ‘hi mam.’ It’s the most darling thing ever. And I just want to transplant this Cowboy Party by Kelly Allison Photography into my back yard and invite all those little buckeroos over to celebrate. Kelly did an amazing job creating a western atmosphere that was friendly for both kids and adults. Here is a little bit about the party from the mouth of Kelly,

“upon arrival, everyone suited up with hats, bandannas, badges, and mustaches cut in the same way as the cake toppers.

kiddos sipped on apple juice tied up in screen printed muslin gold rush bags, while mom & pop enjoyed spiked cactus punch (aka mimosa with a cowboy moniker).

for food presentation, a sweet & savory trail mix was tucked into mini lunch bags and tied with twine. 4oz coffee cups & wooden forks (affixed with fabric tape) were used to dish out cheesy grits, and the  donut holes were served atop craft sticks . . . because what could be more fun than a donut on a stick?

the cupcakes were decorated with steer head picks cut from black card stock, and glittery fool’s gold sanding sugar, all in a sweet little bandana baking cup”

“games & activities consisted of the old standby pin-the-mustache-on-the-cowboy (constructed by yours truly, using various colors of card stock); a craft table full of markers, crayons & foam cowboy stickers; and a cowboy boot piñata to round out the theme.

oh, and of course we had a photobooth set up, just for fun.

at the end of the party, all the cowboys rode off into the sunset on their very own homemade steed, with ascreen printed loot bag full of plenty of goodies in tow.”
