Western Cow Boy Baby Shower

by Denise Montgomery
(Irondale, AL)

A western cowboy/cowgirl themed baby shower is cute and different. The tablecloth would be gingham print and the napkins for the table are bandanas in pink and blue with twine tied around for napkin rings.

Small plastic pastel colored toy ponies, such as Pretty,Pretty Ponies, are on top of the cake. Western music is played in the background. Stuffed animals such as cows and horses are dressed with mini cowboy hats and mini bandanas and scattered around the room along with pairs of cowboy boots.

For name tags, everyone is given a sheriff's star badge with their names on them. You can buy plastic horseshoes and use baby bottles as the stake that they have to ring.

Serve mini burgers and mini hotdogs, salsa and chips, trail mix, and Roy Rogers non alcoholic punch. Everyone dress in cowboy type clothing. Have a cardboard cutout made that one's head can fit through and have it look like a Wanted Poster and take a picture of each guest in it. Hang up pictures of cowboys, praries, horses, cactus and anything that you can find that is western themed.
