Wild West Party Essential: Kids Cowboy Hats

Celebrate your child’s birthday with a Wild West theme party.  It would be fun and easy on your budget.  Whether you would order online for the party essentials or you would make them yourself, it would be great.

If you have watched those old western films, then you can get a lot of ideas to make your party have that genuine Wild West feel to it.  Here are some ideas that would help you in your cowboy‑themed party.  You can incorporate the kids’ cowboy hat from the invites to the games.

The Invite

Do not forget to use the western theme for your invitation.  You can just as easily print one or buy one from the party supply store for this important Wild West party essential.  You can use Wanted poster invites.  You can also send bandanas or kids cowboy hats as invites with the party details on it and ask your guests to wear it when they come to the party.  This would give your guest the idea of the theme of the party.  Be sure to ask your guests to come dressed like they have just come from the Wild West era.

Decorations

You can set a place in your house like the living room or the garage for the venue.  Decorate the place that would make it look like the Old West era.  You can make a Wild West backdrop on one wall.  You can make one wall look like a jail cell with bars or the swinging doors of a saloon.  You can also make cardboard horses or a saddle on one side, or a big cactus on the other.  You can look for a bale of hay that you can place in one corner.  Hang kids’ cowboy hats on the wall.  You can also hang several Wanted posters with the celebrant’s photos on them.  Make the party area like the inside of a saloon complete with tables with red and white checkered tablecloths and cacti or horseshoe centerpieces.

The Costume

You can dress your kids like a cowboy and ask the invited friends to come looking as gunslingers, sheriffs, outlaws, saloon owners, etc.  You do not even have to buy the costume – well, maybe just the kids’ cowboy hats to make it real.  You can wear jeans, checkered shirts, bandanas, boots, and the cowboy hat.  If you have toy guns that can be strapped to a belt, then it would also look good.  You can also make sheriff badges where you can put the name of the guests.

The Menu

You can serve soda or juice at the bar of the saloon.  Serve chicken fingers and chips on kids’ cowboy hats.  Cactus‑shaped and star‑shaped cookies would also be great.  The cake should also have the Wild West theme.  You can choose a design with cowboy hats, cactus, etc.

Games

There are a lot of games that would be fun for the kids.  You can easily incorporate the kids’ cowboy hats in the traditional games.  You can play the tossing the hat game, a relay game, and the musical chair game where instead of sitting when the music stops, the one wearing the cowboy hat when the music stops will be eliminated from the game.

Party Favors

You can use the kids’ cowboy hats as the loot bags where you can put the party favors.  You can also take a picture of the guests in the jail cell or at the saloon bar and print it so your guests can take it with them as a souvenir.

Essential Willie Nelson $11.22 With 41 tracks drawn from nine record labels, the two-disc Essential Willie Nelson is impressive in its breadth. Disc one is simply superb; it begins with 1961′s “Night Life,” recorded for the obscure Bellaire label, and moves on to several of Nelson’s early 1960s Liberty recordings, an overlooked gem recorded for Monument in 1964 (“I Never Cared for You”), a cherry-picked selection of his RCA and…

Wanted! The Outlaws $5.26 Less successful when it’s sentimental (Waylon Jennings’ “My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys”) than when it’s wry (Willie Nelson’s myth-puncturing “Me and Paul”), this cash-in compilation of previously released cuts was just in time to grab the first platinum record ever awarded a country album. It’s not bad, but both Jennings’ contemporaneous Dreaming My Dreams and Nelson’s Red Headed Stranger are…

Rock n Roll Jesus $5.71 Kid Rock maintains a remarkable propensity for wearing his contradictions on his sleeve, and more than anything he’s previously released, Rock n Roll Jesus finds fuel in unresolved opposites. Is he a hard-core chauvinist (“Half Your Age”) or a would-be gentlemen (“When U Love Someone”)? Is he a God-fearing everyman (“Blue Jeans and a Rosary”) or a bohemian hero (“So Hott”)? These questions are not…

The Rounders [VHS] $19.98 Burt Kennedy wrote several of the finest Westerns ever for director Budd Boetticher in the late ’50s–marvels of austere, subtle storytelling. Yet on his own, writer-director Kennedy tended to very broad comedy-Westerns. The Rounders, based on a novel by Max Evans, falls somewhere between Support Your Local Sheriff (high) and Dirty Dingus Magee (low). Glenn Ford and Henry Fonda play two bronc…

The Sacketts [VHS] $4.14 Louis L’Amour’s easy voice with its gentle rhythm sets the tone and pace of the film in a spoken introduction to this loping, rambling three-hour-plus TV-movie adaptation of his novels The Daybreakers and Sackett. Sam Elliot stars as the elder Sackett, a nomad hunting and trapping in the mountains who happens upon an ancient treasure. Tom Selleck and Jeff Osterhage are his younger siblings, forced…
