Western Theme Party Decorating Ideas An Old West theme party is probably one of the most chosen themes for a theme party. It can be easiest to decorate and to come in costume for. Trying to come up with ideas that perhaps your guests havent previously experienced, though, can be the challenge when planning a party with a western theme. Here are some decorating ideas that can help. Large events and parties during the American 1800s were often decorated with a lot of red/white/blue ribbons and swags. Large bows were hung on lights/street lamps and hitching posts. These were especially prominent when politicians would come to speak before elections. TIP: See visiting politician idea in Special Things To Happen section.
See what kind of rope you might have in your garage (or friends garages ) the dirtier and more worn, the better. These look great hanging in a coiled fashion. HINT: When asking around for rope, be careful of what you ask for .a lot of people have that bright yellow, coarse rope not exactly the right look . Create a hangmans noose (go to the library and check out a book on knots if you are having trouble with it). This looks great hanging from a large tree branch. If you cant find rope (or do not want to spend the money on it) you can also purchase very inexpensively rope-like twine. This will work as well, if only used for decoration. Coil up about 10-15 feet of it in separate rings and hang appropriately. Create a small tent site. Using common camping gear, set up a small site with a stone fire ring, hanging long-john underwear, a metal pot on the fire the works. If you know of someone fun enough, you might even want to set a prospector down at the site to converse with the onlookers. Make some gold nuggets or mother lodes! Get your hand on some rough rocks (preferably not sedimentary or river rocks) and spray paint them gold. This also works for gravel. They look great strewn around a table for centerpieces (along with some metal pie tins), for games (see the Games section) or for party favors. Have fun with them!
