If your son or daughter is really into horses and cowboys, why not base the theme of their upcoming birthday party around Westerns! You can make fun invitations shaped like a horseshoe and include a red or a blue bandana for your guests to wear to your party. You can also request that they dress up like cowboys and cowgirls, complete with boots, chaps and cowboy hats. A fun activity during your birthday party would be to have riding ponies come in for your young guests to ride. This will pass the time if there is a lull in the party and will be a fantastic photo opportunity for proud parents to capture their children’s first pony rides! Your cake can be fun and creatively shaped like a horse or a sheriffs badge. The décor can be simple. Head to your nearest local farm and ask for a bale of hay. Many times you can get it for free, or for a small cost. You can even bury special surprises in the hay to make a fun scavenger hunt for your guests. The little ones will have a ball digging through the hay for their prizes. What they find, they get to keep. It’s a fun way to keep them occupied!
