Cowboy Birthday Party
My son turned three, and we celebrated with a cowboy birthday party! We had pony rides, a bouncy house, and an egg hunt for this special celebration. In this blog post, you’ll see all the details about the party as well as links to products I used for decorations!
First, here are a couple of pictures from this fun day.

Decorations
My concept for this party was a “proper rodeo” which ultimately turned into a cowboy birthday party. I wanted the colors to be soft: light blue, white, and tan. We mixed in a little bit of light green too. The buffalo check tablecloths I ordered from Amazon really tied everything together.
As a special surprise, I invited two of my son’s preschool teachers to come and surprise him at his birthday party! He absolutely loved that!

Namesake Celebrations
The monogrammed bunting over our door is from Namesake Celebrations! Namesake Celebrations provides the sweetest custom party decorations that can be used again and again. I know we will use this bunting, cake toppers, party hat and banner year after year!
Food Table
For the food tables, I put a rectangular table and round table together and draped them with tablecloths and party banners. I put some cute food signs around to fit the theme and served food that I didn’t have to make myself. š That is my biggest party tip for moms-go with the easiest food possible.
The cake and cupcakes with toppers make the cutest display, and you have to have the custom cookies too!
These adorable custom buffalo check cake toppers are from Namesake Celebrations! I made the cowboy toppers on my Cricut.
I made party signs and cupcake toppers on my Cricut. I have used it for every birthday party, and I absolutely love having it for times like this!

The custom cookies were from a local bakers, The Cookie Chefs!
Adopt a Pony
As one of our activities and as a party favor, we had an “Adopt a Pony” station! Each child got to pick their pony, choose a name, and I filled out an adoption certificate for them to take home! It really made the ending to the party memorable.
SEWnSo Handmade
These horse heads are sewn by an Etsy maker, SEWnSo Handmade! She sends you the horse heads and easy instructions for assembly. I picked up some wooden dowels from a local craft shop and some poly filler. Then I hot glued them together! I attached gift tags that I made with my Cricut.
Having pony name suggestions printed out for the kids made the decision process a lot easier! They picked a name from the list and they were ready to adopt!
Pony Rides
This was my favorite memory from the party. I loved seeing my little boy ride a pony for the first time! It was so cute, and I think most all of the kids enjoyed it. I found a local party rental place that offered pony rides. It was definitely worth the extra effort to see the look on his face when he got to be a real cowboy! Next year though, we’re just doing the bouncy house.
Bouncy House
From now on, I’m only ordering white bouncy houses! This bounce house from WestHouse Events was absolutely perfect. They even did a custom vinyl lettering on the front to tie in the theme. All the other bounce houses that were cowboy themed from other places were–frankly–just not cute. This one, however, made for precious pictures of my son and his friends! It had a big slide, open front, and was big enough for all the kids to bounce at once! I made my own balloon arch that tied to it.
Rosie the Hen Lost Her Eggs!
As an activity, and because it was easy to do with my son’s birthday so close to Easter, we did a backyard egg hunt. The kids liked helping “Rosie The Hen” find her eggs that she lost in the backyard. I gave each child a paper bag to find their eggs with. This was a low-budget activity that kept them occupied, and then they enjoyed playing in the playhouse too!
