"Cowgirl" Western Birthday Party

Well today I finally got on my planning hat, Ashton and I hashed out what the best birthday party theme would be for her 7th birthday. It was hard to come up with something to top last year's Pirate Party. (We try to do non gender themes as we do end up inviting boys and girls) We were kind of leaning toward a carnival this year, then after much discussion we agreed on a Western "Cowgirl" Birthday Party. We will be having a Hoe Down (Square Dance), Horse Races, Wild West Shoot Out, Hay Rides, Watermelon Spitting Contest and we can't forget about Panning for Gold. I bought some cute boot sun catchers for them to paint and cowboy boot pinata to bust open. We talked about serving Root Beer or Cactus Juice for drinks and have Licorice Ropes for a snack, I haven't come up with anything clever for the cake or cupcakes. Any ideas let me know!!! (I did see a horse shoe cake pan at hobby lobby~ just don't know how cute that would be??) Anyway, enough details....here is Ashton's Western Birthday Party Invitations.

Project Supplies: Cowboy Kid (Retired), Real Red, Old Olive, Tangerine Cardstock, Non SU Designer Paper (New Hobby Lobby), Non SU Ribbon, SU Star, Brad, Markers, Cord and Dimensionals.
