Cowgirl Baby Shower Ideas: Decor, Food, Games and a Gift She Will Wear

A cowgirl baby shower is easy to pull together with a few western touches and doesn't need a big budget. Below are theme ideas for decor, food and games, plus a gift idea for the mom to be: a baby cowgirl outfit with a Bible verse on it, hand pressed in our Burbank studio.

Cowgirl baby shower decor

• Use a pair of cowboy boots as a vase for wildflowers or sunflowers on the gift table.
• Tie bandanas around mason jars, chair backs or napkins.
• Pick a color palette of pink, cream and rust or tan. It reads western without looking like a costume party.
• Hang a "Lovely" or "Howdy, baby" banner over the dessert table.
• Set out a hay bale or two if the shower is outside. They double as extra seating.

Food ideas

Keep it simple and finger food friendly: a chili or barbecue bar, cornbread muffins, mini sliders, and a lemonade or sweet tea dispenser. For dessert, horseshoe or boot shaped sugar cookies and a s'mores station are both easy wins.

Games

• Pin the tail on the pony, with guests blindfolded.
• Guess the baby's birth date and weight, with a small prize for the closest guess.
• A "wanted poster" station where guests write a wish or a Bible verse for the baby. Mom gets a stack of cards to keep.

A cowgirl baby shower gift she'll actually use

Our Baby Cowgirl Pink Lovely Set ($58) fits the theme and gets worn after the party. It's a soft pink sweatshirt with "Lovely" in script above a cowgirl on her horse, and matching flare pants with "Phil. 4:8" printed down the leg. Sizes are 0 to 3 months, 3 to 6 months and 6 to 12 months. If you aren't sure, size up so she gets more wear out of it.

A few other options, depending on your budget:

• The Lovely Y'all Onesie ($25), with a rust western graphic and snaps for quick changes.
• The Praiseworthy Bear Set ($58), an oatmeal sweatsuit that works if the baby's gender is a surprise.
• The Toddler Cowgirl Lovely Grey Set ($58, 2T to 5T) for a big sister, so she has something new too. It matches the pink baby set.

Write Philippians 4:8 in the card: "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things." It ties the gift to the verse on the outfit.
