Sarah’s 21st Rodeo

Ridin’ into 21!

Giddy up for Sarah’s 21st!

Invitation Ideas

Your invitations should give guests a taste of what’s to come. If you’re going DIY, consider using brown cardstock with a touch of lace for a rustic feel. Or how about invites shaped like cowboy boots or hats? 

Alternatively, our themed Cowgirl birthday party invitations are available as instant download templates that are easy to customize. They come in both 5×7” for printing and a mobile version for instant sharing with your guests. As they are fully editable, they can be used for any age birthday or just a general Country & Western party.

Don’t forget to include your catchy tagline!

Party Decor

Think rustic and country chic for your decor. Use hay bales as seating or tables. Hang up fairy lights and lanterns. Set up wooden barrels as makeshift tables for drinks. Don’t forget sunflowers or daisies in mason jars for that perfect finishing touch.

Cowgirl Party Attire

Party Games & Entertainment 

Games are crucial to keeping the party spirit alive! How about a line dancing competition? Or a lasso throwing game using hula hoops? You could also set up a mechanical bull if you’re feeling really adventurous!

If your Rodeo birthday party is a more intimate gathering of a few close friends, you may like to include some party games such as our fully customisable drink or dare board game. Fully editable in Canva, you can add your own rules, dare cards and even change the text and colors of the board!
