Planning an extravagent Western Theme Party
Posted by Bob Kramarik on Tue, May 19, 2009 @ 07:59 PM
Western Theme parties are very popular for corporate, college or social events. They can be as simple or as extravagant as you wish depending on your budget and how much work you want to put into them.
If you read my previous blog on a simple party, you can incorporate many of those most basic items into your extravagant party, but then step it up.
Invitations - Invitations can be printed on a bandana or a T-shirt, how about staying with the wanted poster but putting in a cardboard or nicer frame?
Giveaways/Attire - Costuming for Western is among the easiest. Go upscale on the hats (plenty of funky cowboy hats out there), add bandanas, vests, chaps or even some sexy costumes. Add some character actors to meet and greet. Give away branded Cowboy Hats (with your logo) and serve drinks in cowboy boot glasses.
Decorations - Cardboard cutout standups of old time cowboys such as John Wayne and Roy Rogers can greet people as they walk in, add a split rail fence or corral at the entrance. Colorful backdrops of western scenes interspersed with pipe and drape can transform an entire room. Don't forget those barrels, hay and sacks and if you have the room, miniature horses are a nice touch.
Entertainment - A live country band and sawdust on the floor can really transform you night's activities. Make your food part of the entertainment, serve barbeque from the back of a covered wagon.
Activities - You can't miss with a Mechanical Bull! Add old west casino games, a cow milking game, rope the calf, themed carnival games or a guest costume party and see how everyone gets into the event.
