Cowboy Baby Shower

I recently helped host a baby shower for a mother in our church.  She chose a cowboy theme for her son, so we used the same theme for the shower.

I found a cowboy boot printable page online and printed the design on cardstock.  Then I cut out the boots, lettered each to spell out the baby's name, and hot glued them to a length of brown ribbon for a name banner.

We borrowed a cowboy hat from my boys, as shown above.

I made 5 table toppers using a red bandana fabric.  We used one on the food table.  I've given instructions on making these table toppers in another post.

The shower was held on a Sunday afternoon after a fellowship meal so we served frozen pies (wonderful on a hot day), a favorite of the mother, along with milk.  Cookies were provided for the younger children while the menfolk got slices of pound cake in another room.

Another topper was used on a side table which displayed a card explaining the meaning of the baby's  name along with a shadow box of arrowheads collected over the years by the baby's father.

We used additional table toppers on the gift table.  We also displayed a couple of pairs of  little boys' cowboy boots on a side table but I neglected to get a picture of that.
