Country and Western Party Supplies and decorations can be easily found laying around your or your friends' houses, or at the local dollar store. For instance, spurs can be placed in the walkway leading up to the house (use pastry cutters stuck in the ground upside down if you cannot find spurs). Makeshift 'corrals' are easy enough as well if you already have a fence; just tape on paper 'wood', or temporarily nail on wooden planks for a more authentic look. Place cactuses everywhere; use small pots of cactuses with your guests names written on the terracotta pot as both placeholders and party favors. Use cowboy hats as napkin and cutlery holders, and if you can find a saddle or two, place them on some bales of hay at the entrance, or in the backyard. The food can be either BBQ style or Southwestern; it's entirely up to you and what suits your guests' palate. Name anything that isn't entirely authentic with a Cowboy name, such as 'Cowpoke Stew' or 'Prairie Oysters'. Your games can include 'in the day' how-to events, such as churning butter, making soap or learning how to lasso. Or maybe two-step lessons or line dancing is more appropriate for your group. Whatever your decision, make sure to keep your guests as busy as a Wrangler. If you want to go all out for your Country and Western themed party, rent a stable or barn for the event, and hire a caller for square dancing. Provide your guests with ample instruction time (and maybe give them warning in the invitations, so that they can dress appropriately and bring a partner of the opposite sex, too).
