I am SO excited to share this baby shower with you dolls!
One of my best friends in the world is expecting a little cowboy in October! I am thrilled for her and her first baby!!
The theme was based on the bedding she chose, red paisley, denim, brown…
Little cowboy!
The invitations for her shower and the Daddy Diaper Party {hosted by my husband for her husband, Kenny} were designed by my friend, Laura of . I gave her the wording I wanted, the outline of the cowgirl mommy, the colors, and she did the rest!
The shower invite reads,
“A little cowboy is on his way… So let’s shower mommy before the delivery day!”
And then, “One last request: instead of a card for baby and mother please give a child’s book with your thoughts in the cover. By signing your book, they’ll remember and share your special gift even when you’re not there!”
We had so many comments on what a good idea the book instead of a card was!
The daddy invite reads, “Daddy Diaper Party! Join us for a round of golf, drinks and good eats to celebrate father-to-be, Kenny! Please help Kenny prepare for lots of ‘changes by bringing a pack of diapers.“
My favorite part of the decorations was the little cowboy onesies. I purchased the iron-on set from Whimsical Printables. The rope they were hung on matched the table clothes and other decorations that came from Party World via Meg’s other friend (and my partner in crime for this shower), Kendra. I made some in several sizes so she’ll have some cute cowboy onesies to dress her little guy in for awhile!
Above you’ll see the games and door prize table. I have a whole post planned for those. Perhaps next week. 😉
How stinkin’ cute is that cake!?! Meg’s Aunt Alysha, commissioned it for us… Adorable!!!
Kayli and I made the little blue cowboy cookies using this recipe and this royal icing recipe. I purchased the .
For the punch we mixed a blue Hawaiian punch and club soda. It was delicious!!! Drinks were served in mason jars with cute denim striped straws from .
How cute is this watermelon buggy that Kendra made!?! The rest of the food was a combo of finger foods brought by close family members.
I made this queso dip and served it in my warmed crock pot… it was a hit! We invited the men from the diaper party in to eat after they finished golfing and they practically licked it clean. 😉
Guests signed a red photo mat that goes inside a lovely barn wood frame for the little cowboy’s room. Kayli found the frame and mat on sale at Hobby Lobby for me! Whoot! You can see the favors in the baskets here as well. A post of their own is coming soon! 😉
We hosted the shower at a local country club so while the ladies showered mommy inside, the gents entertained daddy outside with a round of golf! It rained all day but they carried on anyway! And daddy received a ton of diapers!!
That’s the hubs and daddy-to-be, Kenny at the front of the pack there. 😉
I had an absolute blast planning and putting this little cowboy shower together for my sweet friend. Kendra was awesome to work with… we did it all through text messages if you would believe it. 😉 And sweet Kayli came the weekend of as added support.
It was just perfect!!
Plus, mommy to be, Meghan received more baby stuff than she’ll know what to do with… I call that a baby shower success!!!
Hope you’ll be back tomorrow for a special baby shower addition of What I Wore Wednesday. And I promise to share more on the games and favors next week.
Thanks for ‘partying’ with us dolls!

Kass I LOVE LOVE LOVE the little buckaroo cake! That is the cutest idea ever! I’ve heard of these daddy diaper parties too and I think they are fantastic.

They certainly are! I am now wanting more babies in the family just so I can throw a shower lol! So glad you made it to the party 😀
Oh how fun Kassi! The baby buggy is adorable and what a neat idea to do something for the
dad,, I had never heard of such a thing.
Daddy Diaper parties are becoming more and more popular so it seems! I loved the idea as a way for the dad to feel included, but also as a way to help them stock up on diapers!!
