jessie & woody (cowgirl/cowboy) party





my daughter loves jessie & woody from
toy story, so for her 6th birthday
that was her party theme.



to stay away from a commercialized party,
i focused on the cowgirl/cowboy idea.
i used a lot of bandanas, cow print, burlap,
jute, hay, and yellow (woody and jessie 
both have yellow in their outfits)
i also incorporated horses and horseshoes
into the decorations. 

the invitation:



return address labels:



the cake:



i used fondant for the first time.
it was actually pretty easy to work with.
wilton has ready made, already colored fondant
that i bought at joann fabrics.



she got these toy story guys for her birthday

the food:





the kids wrote their names on the horse




smore pops = best invention ever!






the pizza roll ups were a big hit!
kids love anything on a stick!

outfits i made:


i made this pillowcase dress out of 2 bandanas.
super easy/super cheap



the siblings got initial shirts.
the letter was cut out of a bandana 
and ironed on.


the games:



"there's a snake in my boot!" (quote by woody)



the kids tried to throw the snake 
into the boot(bucket).
we kept moving the line back to see 
who could make it the farthest away.




"water the horses"



fill your sponge with water in one bucket...


run to the other bucket...

squeeze out the water 
and run back to the next person.
first team to move all their water wins!


"pin the tail on bullseye"
(bullseye is jessie & woody's horse)



party favors:



i forgot to take a picture, 
so there were only 2 left here!



boy favor:


buzz & woody bottle cap keychain,
toy story fruit snacks, &
toy story trading card

girl favor:

jessie bottle cap necklace, 
toy story fruit snacks and trading card

i bought these cute necklaces and keychains from


thank you:

i made these thank you notes
for her to fill in.

if you see anything here that you would
like for your next party send me an email.
or visit
there are only a couple items listed but 
if you convo me there i can create 
anything you want!

  31. @ sole: the favor bags are from hobby lobby (as are all of the bandanna print party goods--plates, napkins, etc.) i believe they sell all of it on their website with "cowboy" party supplies.
