Western party decorations
When hosting a themed party, it’s important to reinforce the theme whenever you can. Multiple decorations like wanted posters, bandanas, cacti and cowhide napkins add up to present a unified western theme. Although your centerpieces and food will draw most of the attention, don’t forget that the devil is in the details.

You can also use labels to enhance the appearance of your decorations and make them feel more distinct. For example, round labels and wraparound labels can help turn paper bags into table settings that stand out and catch people’s attention. Another benefit is that labels are easily customizable so that each one can be personalized with cute phrases or your guests’ names.

Western party food ideas
Ribs, fried chicken, pulled pork and all of the other savory old-fashioned home cooking of the west will be the draw for many of your guests. Although your food will be bold enough to speak for itself, the right signage and décor can help your feast look even more mouthwatering. These customizable tent cards are a great way to direct your guests’ eyes as everyone sorts through all of the dishes available.
However, authentic country cooking can also get messy very quickly. It’s a good idea to find ways to organize your food into simple portions. For instance, you can use pop sticks with your watermelon slices to make them easier and cleaner to pick up.

It wouldn’t be a barbecue without BBQ sauce. Store all of the various flavors into squeeze bottles to make it easier on your guests and yourself. Clear squeeze bottles make it simple to see when bottles need to be refilled and are easier to keep track of than multiple smaller bottles. Also, it’s fun to see which flavor ends up being more popular at the end of the day!

Western party favors
Give your guests something to remember with these cowboy party favors. You can give out prizes like lollipops as rewards for games or as snacks for each guest. Gifts like bandanas and sheriff badges are also a quick way to give everyone a fast costume for the occasion that matches your party’s color scheme.
Before your guests ride off into the sunset, make sure everybody walks away with a tasty snack and a sweet thank you note. Printable tags are a great way to wrap up bags of snacks and leave behind thoughtful messages. Other great old west snacks include dried slices of fruit, beef jerky, and caramel apples.
