Cowboy Baby Shower

This weekend I threw a baby shower for a friend.  It had a GREAT turnout and my living room was totally full.  It was a cowboy theme for her little boy.  The cake was the major centerpiece. It took me THREE hours to decorate it, but it turned out SO cute and got tons of compliments. I went online for ideas and found inspiration there.

We used mason jars for the beverage glasses and served ice water and cherry limeade.  It was very rewarding to get the compliments on the decorations because I put a lot of effort into trying to pull this off! It is SOO hard to find anything cowboy these days!  Everything is all about pirates...  I was too busy to take more pictures of the decorations, but it was cute.

I used my chocolate fountain, a friend of mine brought the fruit. We also served a veggie platter and chips and salsa.  There was supposed to be a 7 layer bean dip, but that fell through...

I also strung up a little banner out of rope with a few red bandanas, a cow onesie and a little 6-9 month shirt with a bull on it that said "In charge." 

Another friend made these cute favors with western shaped chocolates wrapped in paisley printed cloth.  

I was SO busy! I did not sit for more than 10 minutes all morning, getting everything ready.  I did get to sit during present opening, but then I was moving a ton afterward the party was over, cleaning!  Handsome Husband was great and helped SO much before hand and took the girls out shopping during the shower.  We went to a wedding reception that night and we both zonked out when we got home!  What a BUSY day!
