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

🐄 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.
