When it comes to keeping the family connections and cowpokes entertained, a little bit of imagination goes a long way with Party-Themes.net if you were throwing an Indians party, of course, you'd be using smoke signals to get the word out. If your attendees are all townsfolk, dress up as a pony express rider, complete with 100 cap rifle. Or even dress up as the pony itself - don't worry, at least the mask will hide your true identity. Give your party it's own Cattle Brand logo. There's lots of ideas on this branding iron site. Luckily the old West was none too fancy: even if you don't have a barn at your disposal, it's not too tough to turn your home into the perfect Western-style setting. Use ropes, battered tin cans on the fence, spare hats, cow hide fabric, horseshoes, and bullhorns.
Whoa, pardner, this is such a great theme for decorations since there are lots of things you can do to make your party authentic. First, set the stage for your event with real hay bales outside the entrance. Use real or plastic cactus around the hay as well to really give your presentations some depth. Plastic snakes should be all around the ground, but fear not, your cowboys and cowgirls will surely be able to handle them. Naturally, this setting wouldn't be complete without a longhorn steer somewhere nearby. The most popular type of food for a western theme party is barbecued anything. Whether you feast on chicken, hot dogs, hamburgers, or steak, make sure that you cover the food in rich and tasty barbecue sauces. Other great foods to add to the menu at this party are chili, stew, and baked beans. Don't forget a variety of salsas, chips and other dips. For unique ways to serve food try these ideas:
- Place a small bowl in the top of a cowboy boot and fill it with salsa. Use boots of different sizes to give your salsa bar depth and variety
- Use a real cowboy hat, turned upside down and line with a check napkin to hold chips. You can place bowls inside the hats, too, if you are hesitant about napkins.
- Tie bandannas around other bowls and lay them flat underneath serving platters to carry your theme throughout.
- Vinyl horses make great cardholders for your food names on the buffet table.
