Hi Everyone! This time of year is perfect for a pony party! With the biggest race of the year, The Kentucky Derby, in early May, it is time to polish those boots and get your cowboy hats on. I styled for the most adorable brother and sister but the invitation also works for just one birthday boy or girl. This party is preppy, modern, fun and easy to replicate using our printables and tassels. Just grab your gingham and a few bales of hay.
The party was in the afternoon so we served heavy appetizer sand some fun snacks. The “every pony needs a little ranch” veggie cups were one of my favorite elements of the party. We also served cowboy chili, pony pasta and trail mix. Guest quenched their thirst with pony pop, pony punch and for them old cowboys, bronco busters. Milk glasses were decorated with pony silhouettes.
The backdrop for the dessert table was simple wooden boards painted white with a navy horse and bunting that matched our printables. Tassel garland hung from the front of the table. Of course, there were two cakes for the dessert table- one for our cowboy and one for our cowgirl. The guest had their fill of pony pops, donuts, macarons and sugar cookies along with cupcakes and chocolate covered Oreos decorated with fondant toppers by Edible Details.
After taking a few pony rides in their cowboy hats and bandanas, the kids painted ponies, made necklaces with pony beads, played a pony round-up game with embroidery hoops and pony cutouts by Ten 23 Designs. The girls received fancy tattoos and pretty nails at the grooming station. Everyone loved playing pin the tail on the pony and what’s a pony party without a game of horseshoes.
For party favors, we made bags of cowboy and cowgirl candy (cotton candy). All the cowboys took home wooden pop guns and the cowgirls received “for you pony” ribbons.
The printables were all created in the light blue, pink and navy color scheme with fun background papers. All party printables including invitation, banner, food labels, activity signs, water bottles and more are available in my store.
Thanks y’all!
XO,
Jenny
