Ever since becoming a mom, I’ve discovered a passion for party planning and decorating. There’s something just so fun and satisfying about making the vision come to life and of course celebrating your special little one! This year I decided to go with the theme “Oink, Cluck, Baa, Moo… Charlotte Rae is turning two!”. A farm-themed party was perfectly fitting because my girl has such a huge love for animals. It was just meant to be!
Since I put all the work into planning and decorating this pink barnyard party, I wanted to share ALL of the details, recipes, and inspo so that if you wanted to throw a party like mine, all the details are in one place at the bottom of this post! Keep on reading to see everything, from what we ate at the party to all the little details of where I got the decor!

Such a cute party idea! When clicking the link for your pink and white tablecloth, it links to balloon arch tape-I’d love to know where you found it!

Hey Alex! I’m so sorry for just getting back to you, I fixed the link! It should take you to where I purchased the pink and white tassel table cloth. Thank you!!
Karissa

Hi! How did you put the barn together that you used for the background? In love with everything!
Ashley
I love everything about your party it looks amazing! Was wondering how exactly you made the barn backdrop did you go off of a pattern or just made it up?! It looks great trying to figure out if I would be able to pull that off lol.
Kendallyn Jenson
Thank you so much! I had so much fun putting it together! So I bought one white and two big pink pieces of paper at hobby lobby, and then cut and taped them together to make the barn. I used my cricut to make the little succulent details but you can buy other paper succulents at Hobby Lobby I’m sure. 😊

Love this theme!! Do you have the link for the invitation?

I actually bought the digital animal and barn “stickers” on Etsy and put them all together on photoshop. Not the most common way of making invitations for most people. I highly recommend checking out Etsy for “Personalized Digital Downloadable Party Invitations” so that you can buy, download, and print your own invites for super cheap!

Hi there!
Can you please let me know if you used artificial flowers for the cake too or if you made them with fondant or modeling chocolate? Also, what cookie cutter did you use for the ears and how did you mold the horns and eyes and mouth? Do you have a tutorial you used?
Kendallyn Jenson
Hi Kristen! So, I actually bought all the cake supplies at Hobby Lobby including the artificial flowers, modeling chocolate, and fondant. I wanted to make it as easy as possible on me. I molded the horns and ears with modeling chocolate by hand and used toothpicks to secure them in place. To make the face of the cow, I rolled out some fondant and carefully cut out the shapes with a knife. I hope this answers all your questions! 😊😊

I love the cake! Did you cover the cake with white fondant or is that all modeling chocolate?
Kendallyn Jenson
Hey there! I covered the cake with white fondant. 🙂
