Invitation cards
Horse shoe shape is associated with the western theme. So cut out the invitation cards in horse shoe shape. The information of the venue, time and date should be printed on it. The cards can either be printed or you could make them by hand. Another option is to make “wanted” posters. They can easily be drawn on brown chart paper and you could paste your kid's picture on it and print the information below. Cards can also be made on bandannas. -

Decorations
Put bales of hay on the side of the ground and scatter straw everywhere. The tables should be covered with checked table clothes which are red and white in color. The centerpiece of each table should be made with balloons tied to toy horses. Streamers and balloons should be hung to every possible place to give a festive effect. The play area should also be decorated with horse saddles. -

Games
Play games like pin the tail on the donkey as they will go with the theme. Take a poster board and draw a large horse on it. The tail should be made from yarn strands with tape on the end. The children should then be blindfolded and they have to try and stick the tail at the right place. Another game is horseshoe that people of all ages can enjoy. -
