Rootin' Tootin Cowboy Birthday Roundup



"Hay bales with flannel blankets were used as seating for the guests and burlap covered the tables with delicate yellow flowers in cans, lanterns, and jugs creating the table scape."  This incredible western roundup event was planned by Danielle of Belleza e Luce.  The western backdrops of a jail, bank and saloon really help set the stage for this cowboy themed party.



Simple items create a fun western theme table scape.






Danielle describes her creative ideas, "For the dessert table, I wanted to create the feel of a general store.  We offered old-fashioned candies and sweets including gold nugget gum, taffy, licorice (aptly named cowboy lassos), root beer barrels, butterscotch sticks, and cow tails."



"Every child found a cowboy hat, bandanna, and sheriff’s badge at their seat upon arrival.  They also received a stick horse which they used in the “Camptown Race” and also to chase the bandit (my children’s uncle) and send him to jail."
