Three-Haw Birthday Theme: The Cutest Cowgirl Party You’ve Ever Seen

June 15, 2025

There are some party themes that are just fun, and then there are some that mean something more. For me, the Three-Haw theme is both. It’s where The Ellison Edit truly began—created for one of my best friend’s little girl’s third birthday. She’s the friend I design everything for, the one I call with new ideas, and the one who encouraged me to start this shop. That celebration gave me the push I needed—and now this theme has my whole heart.

So whether you’re planning your little cowgirl’s third birthday or just love a sweet country-western vibe, this post is packed with inspiration, tips, and links to everything you need to pull off a Three-Haw party with confidence.

Flat lay of cowgirl-themed party decor featuring mint green and pink bandana bows, cow print cutouts, mini rope bows, and boot-shaped cookies on a neutral background. Perfect for a rustic western or “Three-Haw” birthday theme with feminine, country-style accents.

🐄 The Vibe: Cute Country Meets Tomboy Cowgirl

Think mint green, cow print, rope bows, and dusty boots. This theme strikes the perfect balance between girly and rugged—with a little tomboy charm and just enough sweetness to make it feel special.

Color palette: Mint green, cow print, beige, soft denim, natural burlap
Textures: Bandanas, rope, lace, wildflowers, woodgrain
Decor vibe: Casual and fun, with rustic touches and feminine flair

🎈 Decor & Setup Ideas

I picture a balloon garland in light mint with cow print and beige accents arching over a burlap photo booth backdrop. Add wildflower bouquets in mason jars, rope and bandana bows on chairs, and a big “Three-Haw!” sign to welcome guests.

🍪 Three-Haw Party Food Ideas

I had to create food labels for this theme immediately—because there are just so many adorable on-theme ideas! Here's what I’d include:

Cowboy Caviar – A colorful, zesty dip with black beans, corn, and peppers.

Cowprint cookies
Rice Krispie hay bales
Whoopee pies (because... yeehaw!)
Chocolate truffles for a “fancy cowgirl” treat

For drinks? A little “Waterin’ Hole” station with juice boxes and lemonades in mason jars would be precious.

🎂 The Dessert Table Moment

I imagine a two-tier cake: mint green on the bottom, cowprint on top, maybe with a rope “lasso” topper. Add:

Cowprint cookies
Wildflower arrangements
Custom printable signage
Rope-wrapped cake stands and mint green trays

🤠 What to Wear: Cute & Casual

The birthday girl? Overalls, mint shirt, cowboy boots, and pigtails—chef’s kiss perfection.

For guests: Encourage casual western wear. A simple note like “Throw on your best boots and hat—Levi’s welcome!” adds a fun touch without being strict.
