Western Party Decorations

Boots, Hats, Spurs, Bales of hay, and Rope are great items to use to decorate a Western Theme party.  Use Bandana printed fabric for the tables and / or tie them on the back of the party chairs with rope.  Bandanas can also be used as placemats or napkins.  
White tablecloths with bandana printed napkins, plates and cups.

Place non spiny cactus plants on the table in terra cotta pots.

Make covered wagons easily using a wagon, two hula hoops and white muslin.
Attach the hula hoops standing up inside the wagon. Then cover with the muslin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Western Party Games

Cowboy Hat Toss 
Tie a bandana  around a golf ball or other small ball and have party guests try and toss the bandana into the cowboy hat.   Instead of one hat you could line up five hats in a row and have the kids try and get the bandana into the hats one at a time starting with the hat closest to the starting line. 

 

Relay Races Western Style
Make up several relay races and let the children run them with their mop horses. Or buy two stick horses and let the kids trade off with each other.

 

 

Western Dress up relay

Gather two sets of western themed clothes including overalls, cowboy boots, cowboy hat, sunglasses, flannel shirt, etc. and place them in two separate piles a good distance from where the teams will start.  Divide western party guests in teams.  The teams first person runs across to the pile of their teams western clothes, put everything on, run back to tag their team - then back again to the pile and take off the items.  They then run and tag the next team member in line and that person continues the relay until everyone takes a turn.
