All right, I have two very adorable twin nephews who are turning 9 this year! In 28 days to be exact. The problem is, on really wants a cowboy themed party while the other wants an iPod party. How to mix these two? I’m thinking you could either a) have a ‘Time Warp’ party in which half the party is ‘Cowboy’ themed (circa 1950’s perhaps) and the other half would be ‘Technology’ themed (circa, now? the future?) or b) you could have a mash up of the two using sort-of a Cowboys vs. Aliens sort-of stance. I would do a split of the two because it just seems easier to be honest with you. Actually, I would put some painters tape down on the floor of a large room and have half be Cowboy and half be Technology, with a ‘Time traveling’ door in the middle. Something like this…
I’m not a genius with cardboard, but my dad is!
For the Cowboy side, I’d make….
I created the banner in Microsoft Publisher and the Wanted Poster from mixing this with a sepia picture of the boys. I’d also make Trail mix to snack on during those long horse rides, oh and what cowboy doesn’t need something from the old watering hole?
And I’d buy…
Cow print balloons (Inspiration below!) C’mon, this horse piñata is just fun and um- who doesn’t want a mustache? Even Eli has mustache shirts
For the iPod side:
I’d set up a backdrop with these guys and set up a game of bean-bag toss by making a giant cardboard iPod and cutting a hole in the middle of the circle. Inspiration for the look here. I’d also hang a few musical notes from the ceiling (just blow up in Word and cut out, hanging with wire).
For treats? I’d make some bright blue punch to drink and wrap some candy bars like little mini iPods, using Hershey kisses for the earbuds. To up the technology factor? A homemade robot/utensil holder.
For favors? Maybe these mini robots.
What do y’all think?
