Candy or Cowgirl?

It's almost that time, my little girls' b i r t h d a y s! I have two girls, they are six years apart, and their birthdays are one day apart. Did I mention they are in the same week as Christmas? Yes, December is one giant party in our family, which means I MUST begin choosing a party theme and get-to-planning! So far, I am considering two birthday party themes that I find adorable, Candy and Cowgirl. How ever will I choose?

The napkins alone are a toss up- candy or cowgirl? Which do you like best? Please help me decide!

    I vote Cowgirl!!! I just did one for my daughter it was amazing and the kids had so much fun. We used brown and pink as the color scheme and it turned out beautiful. Still girly and sweet!

    Both! Sweet Cowgirls! Incorporate candy and cow boy stuff in girly colors and I bet they'll make a cute combination (you can tell by the napkins side by side, and it'll truely be a unique party...

    Dawn, true I could incorporate both themes- though when I do one I like to go all the way :). I too love those cookie jars from Bakerella- perfect!

    Hmm...why couldn't you combine the two? When I think cowgirl, I think pink and brown and of course, there is this...http://www.bakerella.com/mix-things-up/..smaller versions would make PERFECT party favors. And I agree, an ice-cream sundae bar would be so much fun with "cow patties" and lots of pink sprinkles.
