Surprissseee......they all exclaimed as he entered the Cross Creek Golf Club for his 5oth Cowboy themed birthday party. Darrell was indeed surprised because he thought that he was going to a financial seminar, so in he walked with a portfolio in hand. This birthday boy pictured with his wife above is a COWBOY FANATIC! His basement is totally transformed with cowboy colored paint on the walls and cowboy memorabilia everywhere. In the basement there sits a bar with a flatscreen for all the games where he joyfully serves everyone drinks before the games. His favorite food to serve at the games...wings and his favorite drink is Bahama Mama. We incorperated all his favorites in his party, 3 different flavored wings, cheeseburger sliders, cheese, veggie & fruit trays and for drinks...of course blue Bahama Mama's. For dessert was a lemon flavored Cowboy's cake (his favorite cake flavor) from Creative Cakes. Everyone had a great time on the dance floor with Pisces DJ's. They played reggae, R&B, Calypso and popular dance music throughout the 80's to now. His guests were given a shot glass that says Darrell's 50th Birthday. The Cowboy's luminaria center pieces that I made was a big hit because several guests took them home also as souvenirs. It is not difficult to plan a themed party, we started with the invitation which was custom made. We printed the invitation on white stock paper that was outlined in silver and had a Cowboy's helmet on it. Your invitation is the window into the soul of your event, so everyone knew right away that this was a Cowboy birthday party. Then we continued the theme throughout with the colors of the linens, in this case blue tablecloth and silver napkins. It is very easy for you to throw a themed event, you just have to think about what your birthday person would like and what you know that your guests will enjoy. If you do this, your next themed event will be a hit...just like this party was.
