Wild West Barbecue

While a barbeque can often be a theme in itself, you might have even more fun by adding a really fun, specific theme to the event. For a barbeque, the Wild West can be the perfect theme. The presence of grilled food and the hot outdoors can be the perfect setting for a party full of cowboys. It is something that both adults and kids can enjoy.


When it comes to decorating your event space, you will want to make your guest feel like they are in the Wild West. You can do this by decorating with saloon signs, and cacti. You might even have balloons that look like cow hide. Rope can be used to make signs and it works for the theme as well. If the event has a guest of honor, then you can even put up wanted signs with the celebrant’s picture.


If you plan on using tablecloths for your event, then red gingham or a bandana print will make your guests feel like cowboys at a cookout. To make the location feel like it is really in the Wild West, you can put up cutouts of cactuses, cowboys, horses, and cows.


Guests can really get into the spirit of the event if you have props available at your barbeque. Cowboy hats, mustaches, sheriff stars, and bandanas will also be perfect for photos as well. If you want to have props for a photo booth, you can have a jail photo backdrop or a wanted sign for your guests to pose with.


You can even have games that are perfect for a Wild West barbeque. Horseshoe toss, ring toss, and a pie eating contest are just a few games that your guests will enjoy playing. If you have some guests that have a competitive side, you can also do some relay races like the potato sack race and wheelbarrow race. Don’t forget to set out a little space for a dance floor so your guests can do-si-do. Guests of all ages will enjoy line dancing, and you could even have a dance instructor to teach everyone how to square dance.


Whether you have a DJ or your own playlist, you will want to have country music for your guests to listen to. You can also set up a fire pit. Put bales of hay around the campfire for you and your guests to sit on. You can even provide the materials needed to roast marshmallows on sticks.



Party favors for children can include rubber snakes, plush cows or horses, or sheriff badges. If you want to send the adults home with favors, you can give them personalized water bottles or beer cozies.
