Party Decorations for a Cowboy-Themed Party

Cowboy-themed birthday parties are so popular that supplies for them are always available. You will find all the western birthday party stuff you need such as piñatas, bandanas, boot mugs, cowboy balloons, sheriff’s badges, cowboy hats and of course, themed tableware. Your party decorations list can include a farm and barnyard, horses, roping cattle, barn and so on. 

First Things First

You need to decide on the date and time of the party first. Cowboy parties are more enjoyable in the evening because campfire suits the darkness better. However, you must keep in mind the bedtime for your child and his/her friends. The party must be over before their bedtime. So, plan accordingly.

Guest List

Prepare your guest list. Tell your child to give you a list of names. You should include the names of your close friends, neighbors and relatives as well. Set this dress code for the party – crumpled shirts, jeans and boots.

Menu

It’s a birthday, so there must be a birthday cake. If you’d like to bake the cake yourself, check out a few cake tins online to save time. Aside from the cake, decide what’s going to be on the menu. Foods like hot dog, chips, and roasted marshmallows go very well with the cowboy theme.

Decorations

Coming back to party decorations, get photos of each friend of your son or daughter and create “wanted” posters for them. For this, you may have to contact the parents of those children and trace the photos on parchment-colored paper. Create a “saloon” sign and hang it outside your front door.

Get some bandanas, cowboy hats, lariats and a saddle or two. Hand each child a bandana and a cowboy hat as they arrive. A great addition to western-themed parties is a stack of hay bales. Pile the bales up in one corner of the room to add to the decoration or let the kids use them as tables or for seating.

After dinner, let the kids sit around the campfire and tell tales. You and the other parents can join them and read from storybooks. Let western theme music play in the background but not loudly. That’s an evening your daughter or son will thank you for.
