My son is turning 10 and he would like to have a cowboy/outlaw birthday party. I am on a very tight budget and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for games, food ect.
Thanks for the help!

Have the kids come dressed as good guys and bad guys (boys good guys & girls bad guys..since girls are princesses the rest of the year) and play games like lasso the cattle rustler or round-up you make up your own cowboy scanvenger hunt items. Make a cow, horse, wagon, or cactus hat or mask.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT MAKING YOUR OWN DECORATIONS. FIND IMAGES THAT YOU LIKE A USING PROJECTOR DRAW THEM LARGER OR FOR SMALLER THING USE YOU COMPUTER ON THE POSTER SETTING. HAVE A BBQ WITH HOT DOG AND OR HAMBURGER A FEE SIDES IF YOU WISH , CHIPS AND CAKE AND BE DONE. I FOUND A NEAT IDEA FOR FAVOR ON A WESITE GO SOME WHERE THAT HAS HORSES AND GET THE OLD HORSE SHOES AND GIVE THEM TO THE KIDS. JUST USE YOUR IMAGINATION AND YOUR SONS LET HIM HELP.

You can usually find plastic horse-shoe game sets at the dollar store and depending on budget, this is the perfect party to have pony rides.

Kids can also "pan for gold" in a sandbox or pool. Simply use a gold spray paint on small gravel or rocks to create a gold nugget look.

Serve food in aluminum pie tins, something like hot "dogies and campfire beans. Rustlers punch, cowboy hat shaped cake. Red and white checked picnic tablecloth, Have kids come dressed as cowboys, make a couple of "stick horses from old socks, stuffed and attached to broomstick, add button eyes and yarn mane and have relay races, barrel races, etc. You could even have the klids make their own stick horses, lay out supplies, make a sample and help as needed and then have a "horse show" with sherif badge prizes for funniest, most handsome, ugliest, most falling apart...

You could get a rocking horse and have a rope made into a lasso. Have it where each boy/girl can stand at a certain distance and try their best to lasso the horse's head. The one that does, wins the prize. I'd put this further out in the yard or away from the festivities, for just in case.

Buy cheap bandanas, put different marking on them for a door prize, AFTER they use them for napkins.. watch them open their dirty hankies , looking for a star, boot, gun, horse, rope, wagon, pichfork or anything else you can think of. make them small on the bandans so they don't know it's there untill you tell them about the door prize!!! great fun. It is something they can keep as well.

Have a scavenger hunt, using a brown paper bag. Cut out odd shapes for old looking maps. burn the edge of the paper to make it look cool. draw the map for the hunt.. roll the paper up and tie it with straw or twine. Tell them ,they are to follow the map.. make sure you add cross bones and moonshine stils

-Pin the hat on the cowboy.
-Make WANTED signs, if you have a digital camera you could print pictures of each person and glue on a paper or have each person bring a picture of them selves or just have everyone draw pictures.
-Ropes to do a lasso contest
Food: baked beans and weenies, chili. If there is any way for you to have a bon fire cook the food on the fire. Travel to a camp site for the day to have the party!
hopefully some of this helps,
Stella
