Location: Northwest Florida | I'm due with my first baby in August. Little girl! My mom is planning the baby shower. It'll be a cowgirl theme, co-ed, and in the evening. I'm looking for ideas for games that are horse/cowgirl related and not too cheesy.. Also ideas for shower favors, game prizes, and food. We would like to keep it indoors as it will be in the summer time. |

Location: North Central Iowa Land of white frozen grass | When we had our second child we did all the scans and test to see what it was going to be. Our first was a girl so my wife was wishing for a boy and that is what they told us that we were definitly having. The doctor said he could even see his little tallywacker on the last test. What a shock when we had another beautiful girl. I was happy that I had now 2 girls to take to playdays when they got bigger. My wife was a little disapointed but only for a second. Our third she got her son. Don't get your heart broke if it is not what they say. |

I wouldn't be heart broken if it were wrong, however I've had three different 4D ultrasounds and the doctor has zero doubt of the gender. I wasn't really posting about how excited that I am that it's a girl, that's just the theme I'm going with and was looking for baby shower ideas. Thank you though. |

Disposable diapers. They will definitely need them!
There will be a diaper raffle, and on the invite it asks to please bring one unwrapped box of diapers of any size if you wish to participate in the diaper raffle. Basically, a box of diapers buys a raffle ticket and tickets will be drawn periodically throughout the shower.
I need ideas for prizes for the raffle though! The shower being co-ed makes prizes especially difficult.  |

We wrote it on thick paper that almost had a fabric feel to it and punched a hole in one corner and tied it with twine. We put them all in a galvanized tub with burlap over lapping the sides. I wish I had a picture of ours but I don't.
Not sure if you've made your invitations but a friend had a little girl and hers said " Rhinstones, fringe and hair to curl. Look out y'all it's a little cowgirl."
