So you're having a pink cowgirl party? Well, yee-high! All it takes is a splash of pretty
pink and a little bit of rodeo sparkle to turn a Western party theme into a party to

Here's how to "Cowgirl Up" for the best pink cowgirl party this side of Texas:
- Gussy up the birthday girl with a pretty pink hat. Your little cowgirl deserves to
stand out from the crowd. Here's one way to make her tops: give her a blinking
pink cowgirl hat, pictured above right. Another dazzling option is the fuzzy
brimmed hat with a sparkling tiara, far right. There are lots of options.Order
now to find the perfect cowgirl hat in time for the party.
- How to dress the birthday girl for a Pink Cowgirl party: In addition to finding the
ideal cowgirl hat, the perfect cowgirl ensemble starts with just a few key
accessories:
- Pink Cowgirl Duds: You don't want the birthday girl looking like a dud, so
start shopping for a pretty pink cowgirl costume. Or simply pair a pretty
Pink cowgirl T-shirt, like the one above, with a jean skirt. You can add
pink tulle as a trim to any jean skirt to give the birthday girl's look extra
panache.
- Add accessories to outfit the birthday girl, such as: a pink bandanna,
upper right and a pink sheriff badge, a pair of pink cowgirl boots, pictured
right. They'll be the perfect birthday gift. The finale is pink spurs are
inexpensive fun, right.
Menu for a Pink Cowgirl Party
Lift a pinky y'all. A pink cowgirl has to think pink, and you can think pink with ideas for
your cake and menu:
- Pink ponies cookbook: The Pink Ponies Cookbook by Barbara Beery, is an ideal
place to get cooking on your pink cowgirl party menu. Pink Ponies Cookbook
offers themed recipes for birthday parties, including Chocolate Star Catcher
Cookies, Royal Rainbow Fruit Tower, Pink Berry Oat Bars, and Carousel
Cupcakes.
- Think pink candies: For a pink cowgirl party, you need to think pink. Personalized
pink M&Ms make great favors for a pink cowgirl party and they come in two
shades of pink with room for a short message. Lasso up some red licorice for
the party, which is useful as a lariat to round up horse figurines.
- More pink ideas:
- See our yummy pink party food.
- Pink Vitamin water is an ideal pink cowgirl drink.
- Use a chuck wagon triangle at the pony party to round up the ranch hands
when it's time for birthday cake. For a pink cowgirl party, you might even pain
your chuckwagon triangle pink!

Pink Cowgirl Decorations
- Kick off your boots. Turn a pair of old cowboy boots into a vase. Just insert a
clear glass into the boot, and arrange with pink peonies or other pink flowers.
- Hats off ma'am. You can transform a pretty pink cowgirl hat into a chip or candy
bowl. Start with an upturned hat and insert a clear bowl.
- Round up a Pink gingham tablecloth! Gussy up the table with pink cowgirl style.
The pretty pink gingham material, right, is oil cloth -- a vinyl on a cotton mesh
base (the design is printed on the top of the vinyl) and available by the yard to
fit your needs. Make a tablecloth or place mats. With the extra fabric, sew a
baby bib or aprons. Finally, scatter the pink M&Ms on the table like confetti! And
layer the look with hot pink utensils.
- Pink horse shoes. For a festive touch to a pink cowgirl party use real horse-
shoes as balloon weights. Spray each horse-shoe hot pink, then glue some
glitter and gems for an extra measure of sparkle.
- Make a pink cupcake corral. Get glue tongue depressors or Popsicle sticks and
spray paint them hot pink, then affix them to a large box top to create the
fence. Then top with pink frosting and mini white plastic cowgirl hats. We found
some mini white plastic cowboy hats,used for weddings, on Amazon
(Partycheap.com).
- Teach an old horse new tricks: Serve party snacks using the Wilton horse-shoe
pan you used to make the birthday cake. Alternatively, serve sweets in plastic
upturned cowboy hats for a Western theme or plastic derby hats for an
equestrian theme. Check out the adorable pink cowgirl hat cake.
- Give the boot to old ideas. For the tables, turn a pair of cowboy boots into a
couple vases using cut water bottles inside the boots filled with just enough
water for the flowers. The pretty pink cowgirl boot mugs look vase and makes a
pretty pencil holder or favor for the little pink cowpokes.
- Use galvanized metal buckets instead of coolers to serve up pink drinks.
Pink Cowgirl party Activities
Here are some ideas to entertain your little rodeo queen and her entourage:
- Read Cowgirl Kate: Read a story just before opening presents to get everyone's
attention. A theme appropriate story you can find on Amazon is "I Want to be a
Cowgirl" by Jeanne Willis. Story time is a great way to calm the posse after
sugaring up with cake. The "Cowgirl Kate" series by Betsy Lewin is another
good choice.
- Your little rodeo queen and her horse crazy entourage need some other
activities, so check out the fun and game ideas.
- To enhance your horse theme party, create signs to direct "Fillies" and "Colts"
to the appropriate bathrooms. Check out this fun selection of horse theme signs
to add a festive touch to your party.
