Setting the Mood

Use an old-fashioned "dinner bell" to get the attention of your guests.

First decide on your actual theme, this will help you to narrow down on the motif you choose for decorating your western event. For a "TexMex" theme you might want to use a combination of Western Decorations and Fiesta Decorations or for a "Cowboy Casino" or "Texas Holdem" Theme you might want to incorporate some Casino & Poker Decorations. Here are a few ideas we have used for western themes.

"Denim & Diamonds Hoe Down" - the ultimate western party, this is the one night where you can show up in your mink, designer jeans and alligator boots—or your Dior gown with boots and Stetson. It's no rules—just lots of glitz and glamour.

"Wild, Wild West Party" - round-ups, campfires, cowgirls, cowboys, and cacti...! Wooden fencing and authentic scenery, can set a wonderful ambience of your evening.

" Gunslinger Gala"- imagine sauntering thru the streets of Laredo into an Old West Saga complete with desperados, gunslingers, saloon girls.

"Yellow Rose Ball" - An elegant and colorful evening celebrating the heritage and heroes of the Lone Star State. Native Texas floral mixed with whimsical touches of oversize cacti, huge cowboy boots and displays of yellow roses can be used to carry out this theme.

"Cattle Baron's Ball" - The warmth of Texas Hill Country hospitality captured in a comforting ambience of limestone, stucco and adobe surroundings.

"Cowboy Casino" with poker, blackjack, roulette tables, scantily clad dance hall gals and scads of desperados and cowboys.

"A Taste of Texas Party" - an eclectic and upscale mix of all things Texas and the Great Southwest, authentic stucco, cedar and limestone decor, old mission ruins, weathered limestone walls and ranch fencing; accented with large cacti, semi-tropical greenery and cascading bougainvillea.

No matter what you call your event, the key to pulling off a coordinated event: Evoke your theme throughout the affair, it should be the subtle thread that ties everything together. Your location, invitations, flowers, decorations, tabletops, menu, cake, and favors should all cleverly reflect one common concept. Then get as creative as you can.

Western Motif:

The motif is the visual representation for your western theme, which is created by the use of objects or symbols. These objects or symbols may be repeated on your invitations, program, plates, or decorations. Develop your western motif using a list of words related to a western theme. Brainstorm a list to create your pool of ideas. This list is very important for generating ideas that can be applied to all areas of your western event. For a Western theme you might come up with words like:

Stalks of wheat, tumbleweed, wild flowers, daisies, sunflowers, wild greenery, lattice trellis, rope, watering cans, bullwhips, furs, rifles, pistols & holsters, whiskey bottles, saddles, saddlebags, bridles, weathered, rustic tack (leather horse collars, halters, harness, hitch & etc.), animal hide rugs, cowhide, gingham fabric, bandanas, calico fabric & ribbon, old boots, mason jars, jugs, whiskey barrels, washtubs, pitchforks, rakes, water pump, saws & other farm implements, straw bales, small lanterns, kerosene lamps, red or black hurricane lamps, barbwire, longhorn skulls, steer horns, galvanized pails, butter churns, cow bells, buckets, tin containers, wicker or rattan baskets, old washboards, deer antlers, antique luggage, trunks or steamers, knives, tomahawks, rustic benches, boulders, split rail fencing, burlap sacks, burlap fabric, flour sacks, grain sacks, horseshoes, canteens, cactus, straw scarecrows, cast iron pots, rocking chairs, old wooden chairs, antique cigarette tins, crates, rustic cooking utensils (include a frying pan, coffee pot and pans, gold mining items (gold pans, gold panning trough, gold mining hopper, fake dynamite sticks, shovel, pickaxe, gold bars & nuggets & etc), antique weigh scale, bar stools, milking stools, wooden pails, meat grinder, milk cans, watering cans, antique camp stove, pot belly stove, antique telephones, sled, burlap money *$* bags, outhouse building, rustic metal tractor seats, weather vane, windmill, branding iron, covered wagon, buckboard, luggage wagon, chuck wagon, buggy, wagon wheels, wood wheelbarrow, pony express, telegraph, and steam train to name a few.
