This cowboy scenario is suitable for parties held among children from 6 to 9 years old. Topic « Wild West», « Western», « Cowboys and Indians» is very exciting - it is especially successful if you need boy birthday script for 7 years or 8 years. Start preparing for the holiday by compiling a guest list and selecting or making invitations. original solution for cowboy birthday– invitations in Wanted ad format. The invitation header can be designed in a standard way - with the title “Wanted”, below you can put a picture of any cowboy or a photo of a birthday man in a cowboy hat, and insert something like this under the picture: "You are wanted for a cowboy party" .
On the reverse side you need to place the text with the invitation. For example, like this:
You can make invitations by hand - brown cardboard is suitable for this. But it will be easier, of course, to print invitations on a printer.
Click invite opens in new window (in new tab) in full size
If you can get plastic sheriff stars from a toy and gift store, attach one star to each invitation.
Other Cowboy Boy Birthday Invitation Options: invitations in the form of a cactus or a horseshoe; , tied with twine and fastened with a sheriff's star; standard two-page invitation with cowboy symbols.
Children's birthday in cowboy style: decoration of the venue for the holiday
If the holiday will be held at home, you can already hang paper signs in the hallway: "Prairie", "Saloon", "Sheriff", "Bank", "Cowboy Ranch Eye" . Accordingly, the sign "Cowboy Ranch ..." should lead to the room where it will be.
To decorate the venue of the holiday, you can use everything related to the cowboy theme: Wanted posters, toy guns, mustang and cowboy posters, paper horseshoes, cowboy hats, scarves, cacti. You can use balloon decoration, in particular balloon figures - balloon cacti are just gorgeous.
Decorate the table with horses of different colors (colors): these can be small soft or rubber toys, souvenir horses or glued paper. You can print images of horses in different colors, cut them out, stick them on cardboard and make a cardboard stand.
You will also need 7 or 8 toy bulls (depending on the age of the birthday person)
American country music is suitable for background sound.
Children's birthday in cowboy style: holding a holiday
For children who come to, you can distribute elements of a cowboy costume - hats and neckerchiefs. At the same time, the presenter can explain why cowboys needed scarves (to protect their faces from hot sand during sandstorms, which are not uncommon on the prairies and desert canyons). It is necessary not only to explain, but also to show how cowboys tied a scarf during a storm. Let the kids practice.
If a creative company has gathered for a cowboy birthday, before starting the holiday, you can invite the guys to “work” on their appearance. For example, make cowboy vests from sand/brown plastic bags or paper bags. You will need several scissors.
First, an adult will show the children how to cut a vest from the bag:
first make a slit for the neck, then two slits for the sleeves, then cut the front "back" into two "shelves" and, if necessary, trim the bottom, giving the vest a suitable length. The bottom of the vest can often be cut - you get a fringe. If paper bags are used, after cutting and trying on, you can invite children to decorate their vests with markers, felt-tip pens, stickers, etc.
In addition, you can distribute tattoo stickers, translations or stamp tattoos (horses, cows, hats, guns, cacti, flowers for girls, etc.) to children: let the kids decorate their bodies with temporary tattoos.
After that, it is worth inviting the children to the table, inviting them to choose a place in accordance with the color of the horse they like. By the way, if the chairs are comfortable enough, you can invite the children to sit on them.
Cowboy Birthday Script
When the children are seated at the table, the facilitator makes an introductory speech:
Dear cowboys and cowgirls, welcome to the meeting on the occasion of the birthday of our Sergei, known by the nickname of the Vigilant Eye. How wonderful that we are gathered at this ranch today to have fun at the glory. Our birthday boy turned 7 today, and old cowboy Joe gave him 7 bulls in the morning. What do you think, where are the bulls?
Children reason and, perhaps, with the help of an adult, come to the conclusion that a cowboy is a shepherd (from the English cow - a cow and boy - a guy). The host continues:
Old Joe gave the birthday man 7 bulls, but they fled. Can you help the birthday boy find the bulls and drive them to the ranch? Then saddle your horses. The ones you chose. But first, come up with interesting nicknames for them.
Children come up with original nicknames for their horses. For the most original and unusual nickname, you can give out a prize.
Leading:
Did you come up with nicknames? Now let's saddle the horses!
Game "Saddle the horse"
The game is played according to the “Musical Chair” type - only you need to sit on a chair not as usual, but “on horseback”. The chairs are placed in a circle, but at some distance (so that you can sit on horseback), and there are 1 fewer chairs than the participants. While the music is playing, the children walk in a circle around the chairs, and as soon as the music stops, they “saddle the horses”. The one who did not get the horse is out. The one who takes the last chair wins. The leader takes out one figurine of a bull to the children.
Leading:
So, one bull has been found. But we learned that the second steer was taken away by a cunning Indian. Shall we follow him? But he confused the traces, because it is not for nothing that he is called cunning. However, we will not allow ourselves to be confused, right? We will do the opposite! Let's check how attentive and careful you are.
Game "Confusion"
To begin with, the facilitator introduces the children to the commands that need to be performed in reverse: that is, if the facilitator says “Raise your hands”, they need to be lowered, etc.
Teams:
- Raise your hands (lower your hands)
- Put your hands down (Put your hands up)
- Raise your left leg (raise your right leg)
- Raise your right leg (raise your left leg)
- Cross your arms (spread your arms)
- Spread your arms (cross your arms)
- Squat (jump)
- Jump up (crouch)
- Lower your head (raise your head)
- Raise your head (lower your head)
- Turn left (turn right)
- Turn right (turn left)
- Clench fists (spread fingers)
Having learned the commands, the children stand in a circle. The music turns on. Everyone is dancing, and the leader, who is in the center of the circle, suddenly pronounces a command and looks to see if all the children have performed it correctly - that is, vice versa.
Whoever makes a mistake is out. The one who remains last wins. The host discreetly hides the second bull in the room and invites the children to find it. When the goby is found, you can move on to the search for the next one.
Leading:
The third bull was taken away by a gold digger. He was just unlucky - he could not find gold in any way, and then it was time to return home. The gold digger did not want to go home with nothing, so he took our bull. Let's help the gold digger find gold, and in return he will return the bull to us.

When everyone has gathered - smoking the "peace pipe" (we have a hookah)
After a small snack at the table - a competition of questions on a cowboy theme. Riddles about cowboys.
1. Rides a cowboy on the prairie, stops the horse at the saloon. Jumps off, ties up, goes inside. He sees the bartender and asks him for a glass of water. Instead, the bartender draws a gun and fires. The cowboy says "thank you" and happily rides off on his horse. Question: "What did the cowboy say thank you for?" (for the fact that the bartender saved him from hiccups)
2. There were 2 cowboys. They always competed among themselves on horseback who will jump faster. When they were 50 years old, they decided to bet for the last time, whose horse will run first to the finish line, he LOST. We got to the start, and stand. Two hours have passed, and an old man approaches them. He said something to them, and the cowboys rushed off like crazy. Question: "What did the old man say?" (swap horses)
3. Three people were sitting at the table on the sofa: a cowboy, a gentleman and a Japanese. How many feet were on the floor? (Answer: one, as the cowboy sits with his feet on the table, the gentleman crosses his legs, and the Japanese legs under him)
4. Rooster - 8, Dog - 3, cow - 2, donkey - 2. Question: horse - how much? (Answer - 5 - and-th-th)
Competition for attention and memory.
A cowboy is chosen. The rest of the clap freeze, and the chosen one carefully looks at them and remembers, then goes out the door. The rest change poses, places, details of clothing. A cowboy enters and guesses what has changed.
Waterfall Sound Competition.
One cowboy is standing opposite. bank, between him and the other cowboys there is a waterfall, and nothing is heard. He must explain the hidden phrase with gestures, for example:
- I saw an Indian
- the redskins are chasing me
- I found gold
- they shoot there, it's dangerous
Competition "Duel"
The tournament table was compiled (cup system - for departure), who shoots with whom. As a result, the winner of each pair goes to the next round. At the end there was only one left =)
Competition for accuracy "Darts"
Competition "karaoke"
And in the end they played "mafia" in a cowboy way, where the mafia is the Indians, the doctor is the pastor, and the commissioner is the sheriff.
In general, the other was a success!
Solemn removal of the cake and making wishes.
Have you noticed that at children's performances, performances, films, kids often sit sluggish and uninterested, and their mothers, grandmothers and even dads and older brothers have much more eyes that burn? Adults rejoice, are carried away by the action, empathize with the heroes more vividly than children. Maybe because the hall exists separately from the stage and the children are not really involved in the performance?
This usually doesn't happen on holidays. There is enough interaction here. A skilled animator will draw anyone into games and contests, regardless of age. Especially if we are talking about a themed holiday, where there is a lot of stage production. For example, about a cowboy party. Everyone in childhood enjoyed playing the Wild West, cowboys and Indians, building wigwams, smoking a peace pipe and spinning pistols on their index fingers. And he will gladly agree to revive old memories. Let's try to figure out how to arrange a holiday in the style of a western.
american style invitations
Let's start with invitation cards. Of course, homemade. It is unlikely that you will be able to find a postcard in the store with the image of cowboy hats and boots, lasso, banjo and castus. But all this is not difficult to make up in Corel or another graphics program by adding text. If it's a cowboy party for kids, something like "Our cowboy John (Peter, Dick, Anthony, Eddie, Sam...) turns five (seven, ten, thirteen...)"; come, they say, to us at the ranch at such and such an address on such and such a date at such and such a time. And don't forget to load the Colt! It would be nice to put something themed into the envelope, like a cowboy neckerchief or pin a plastic sheriff's badge.
You can issue an invitation card in the form of a poster on colored paper with a large inscription "Wanted" ("Wanted") and a photograph of the addressee in the form of the main villain of the western. Roll up the poster and tie it with a cowboy scarf. And in the text, specify that they are looking for an invitee to participate in a country party.
Another idea is a horseshoe or cactus cut out of cardboard. Or a message pinned inside a bell bought at a gift shop. Let it be a botalo for a cow - the main object of the cowboy's labor efforts. (After all, the word itself means “cow guy” in translation. Shepherd, therefore). And outside the bell will decorate the name of the invitee.
Stylish suits
Of course, participants in a Wild West party should be dressed and shod in jeans or denim skirts, plaid shirts, leather vests with suede fringe, bolo ties (lace with clip), boots with spurs, cowboy hats, belts with a holster. If you don’t want to strain the guests too much, you can limit yourself to a full-length suit only for the host and hostess. And give the rest a hat. (By the way, the latter are quite suitable as an invitation card - with the text on paper, inserted behind the lining). And put a basket with multi-colored scarves-bandanas and / or toy revolvers at the entrance. 
Room decor
Menu for real cowboys
Cowboys are simple, rude people, not accustomed to culinary delights. And you, organizing a western-style party, do not have to bother with cooking for a long time. As a main dish, any barbecue or kebabs are suitable - from beef, chicken, or simply grilled sausages with some of the tomato sauces. As a side dish, boiled beans or other legumes, pumpkin, zucchini, and various vegetables cooked on the same grill are suitable.
Serve. For example, put the sauce on top of a cowboy hat, and scatter chips over the brim. Flip another hat nearby and fill it with sweets or place cakes on a napkin. Ceramic bowls and salad bowls can be tied with bandanas. 
Games and entertainment
Cocktails are quite suitable as "props" for a competition for the speed of their absorption. A tug-of-war, a relay race with tying-untying by two teams for the time of neckerchiefs on the face (you must escape from a sandstorm on the prairie!), the game "Saddle a chair" - the very one loved by many generations of Soviet mass-entertainers . Just turn the chairs back to the center and ask the participants to sit on them. What can you do: you are unlikely to arrange a rodeo on a live bull!
You can not do at a cowboy party, like any other, without a dance floor. The repertoire is clear: of course, a quadrille! Maybe one of your relatives, friends or colleagues knows how to dance it and will teach the others? Or is it possible to invite professional dancers? You can organize a whole dance marathon: break all the guests into pairs, hang a pair number on each male partner’s back and invite them to dance to energetic country music all the way, for elimination. The couple that lasts the longest wins.
The animator will also not be superfluous, especially at a children's holiday. But even without it, you can invent. For example, such.
"Accurate shooter"
This game is best played in the yard, not indoors. Place empty tin cans in a row, a basin of water a few meters from them. Lay the rope on the ground. From here, the contestants, to whom you distribute a water pistol, will begin to knock down cans. Those who miss are eliminated from the further struggle. The winner is the one with the most points for the defeated tin cans.
"Wild West"
The guests are divided into two teams that line up against each other, with their backs turned. Everyone has a toy gun in their hand. The leader (“sheriff”) keeps a slow score. At the word "five" everyone turns and points the gun at one of the "opponents". The one or those who were not directed at the muzzle are eliminated. The game ends when one of the teams has no players left. 
"Pin the Horse's Tail"
Do you know the game "Pin the Tail on the Donkey"? It's something like that, only with a horse instead of a donkey and darts instead of duct tape. Just throw, blindfolded, a dart with a pinned "tail" of yarn or thread (or just a scarf, ribbon) at a dartboard, on which a picture of a tailless horse is pasted. The winner is declared to be closer to the place where, in fact, the tail should be.
"Laser Mustang"
A lasso is made from the rope with a sliding loop. Participants of the competition take turns trying to lasso a "mustang", which can be a chair, a plastic bucket or a "one and a half" filled with sand. It is advisable to stick an image of a horse or a filament tail and mane to the mustang. Each is given three attempts, the luckiest cowboy wins.
"Golden fever"
Bury toys, pebbles, coins, beads in a large box with sand. Distribute a sieve and a tray to the contestants. On a signal, everyone must sift as much sand as possible and find the maximum amount of "treasures".
As an option, “jewels” can float in a basin of water, from where they need to be blindfolded to catch them with a sieve on a handle or a colander. Or bury the "gold" in a haystack.
The winners of the contests, of course, should be adequately rewarded. Or maybe you will give each guest a farewell cowboy hat, a bandana, a cactus pot, a country music disc, a chocolate coin or a lucky horseshoe (iron, wood, plastic or cardboard).

All words belong to the presenter
Leading: hello, girls and boys! I mean, I'm glad to see you. Allow me to introduce myself - the best rider in California - Stephanie. Day and night I rode across the desert prairies on my swift steed, jumping over cacti and crossing reservoirs to get to the best holiday. Not everyone can withstand such a leap. Let's try together to survive the difficulties of the road in the saddle. Repeat these movements after me.(shows movement)
Game "Jumps"
( Players imitate the clatter of hooves by hitting their knees with their palms alternately, then right, then left)
Attention! Get ready! Let's go! (The players gradually speed up the “run”, hitting their knees with greater frequency. )
Cactus! (The players say "hop"
We run across the prairie.(Players rub palm on palm and say "Shhhh")
Pond on the way(The players slap their cheeks and say "Bul-Bul")
Girls. (Playing girls waving and shouting "Hi")
Boys. (Playing boys close their arms over their heads and shout "Oooh")
The cowboy is easy to recognize. His biceps are in! Fist - wow!
( Viewers ) Raise your fists! Oh yes! Here are the real sledgehammers. Yes, these guys with one blow will take down the opponent along with the horse. Cowboys who find a token under their saddle (chair), a bullet to the stage!
The game "Curb the Mustang"
As you know, a real cowboy will certainly spend his free time in the saddle. Here are the wild mustangs. You have to curb them. As in any business, in the art of curbing horses, you have to start with the basics, that is, with the ABC.
Sit in the saddle and memorize the letters. (Turning to the players ) Your letter "O". Yours is "P", You remember the letter "P", you - the letter "C". Don't forget the "T".
I will name the objects that come across you on the way. If the word starts with your letter, your horse neighs. Let's try! Port.
Player "Igo-go"
Easy task! That's not all. When I say "mosquito", we slap ourselves on the forehead. "Fly" - we drive it off the horse. "Pit" - bounce along with the horse.
So our races begin! Let's start at my command"Let’ sgo!»
Pillar
Ravine
Cart
Fly
River
Pit
Saloon
Mosquito
Stump
Sheriff
(Whoever made a mistake goes into the hall.)
You're wrong, old man. Your memory has failed you. Hold the prize, go to the hall. Luck has failed you. Free the saddle, go to a more comfortable place in the hall.
The host offers the remaining players to choose leaflets with numbers. The first number selected will indicate the row, the second - the number of the seat on which the next participant in the game sits. (choose 2 participants for the next game)
Game "Sharp cowboy"
A cowboy from the cradle knows a lot about shooting. Here are your weapons arsenals, folks. From 500 meters to get any fly in the eye is a trifling matter! Shoot at my command"Let’ sgo". Whoever gets a fly in the eye faster will become the First Mozyr Cowboy. But remember that you only have 3 rounds for this. So,Let’ sgo!
Who has the sharpest eye! What's your name, little one? We welcome the first Mozyr cowboy. Friends, is he a real cowboy? (Yes !)
As a memento of this meeting, I will give you horseshoes. They are known to bring happiness. Distribute them now to your friends in the hall, and soon you will see how lucky they are. While some of the guys get horseshoes now, I want to find out if the audience understands anything about horses.
( He descends into the hall, asks questions to any viewer).
Do not worry, you will cope with the questions, especially since I have prepared tips for you.
What horse is not looked in the mouth?
gifted
fried
heartbroken
with caries
2. Who is the author of the lines “I love my horse, will I comb my hair smoothly?”
Marshak
Chukovsky
Barto
Who is unknown.
A real cowboy always follows his goal straight and is not afraid of obstacles. But now the case is different. You need to zigzag around the obstacles to get to the last skittle and return back without hitting the obstacle with your horse's tail.
(The skittles are hardly set at the same distance from each other. Ropes are fastened behind the children.)
I remember that today someone wanted to take a big jackpot and acquired horseshoes of happiness in advance. It's your turn, take the stage, those who got the horseshoes.
A column of smoke, the earth is shaking - this is a player rushing towards us!
The game "Ball-guide"
Somehow they gave one cowboy a young, fast horse. He asks his comrades: “What do you think, why do I need this horse?”.(He asks the children, they make suggestions: for work, to go around the herd; to participate in a rodeo; in order to put a horse in the races and win a big prize).
"No," says the cowboy.
Now you have to get to your friend who lives on the finish line. It is not easy to make this everyday life, you have come across too naughty horses.(Each player is given uninflated balls of different colors, the players are lined up on the start line). Inflate the balloons to medium size, at my signal release them and go to the place where he fell. Then inflate the balloons again to the same size and, at my signal, repeat the action. The one who gets to the finish line first wins a prize.
It's time to head back.
You only remember one thing: if you ever want to pick up a Colt 45 caliber, ride a wild mustang and go across the endless valleys of California and Texas, come visit me, I will arrange it for you.
Goodbye friends.
Goodbye! I’ lbeback!
December 24, 2015
Would you like to go back for a day to those times when stern men talked about a matter of honor, women were proud and daring, and the real fun was not nightclubs, but country dances, shooting at tin cans and chasing the most malicious enemy - the Indian?
Why not? Without stereo systems, light music and computer games, people knew how to have fun for real! Now it’s not like that: now pathos, glamor and extended body parts “rule”. Therefore, if your birthday is in the warm season, and you want open heartfelt fun, here is a good option for wild west parties!
In order not to miss anything important, I suggest the following scenario:
1. Season and meeting time.
The best time of the year for a Cowboy Party is summer. Meeting time - 12-14.00. The costumes must be prepared in advance, so the invitees will only have to put on an outfit and arrive on time. Please note: the most suitable day of the week is Saturday. Surely your party will turn into a daily marathon of entertainment, because Sunday will serve as an excellent healer and “sleeping” before Monday!
2. Invitations.
Be creative, but don't overdo it. Draw holiday attributes (cowboy hats, boots, funny Indian) or print out a coloring book for kids with matching characters. 
For the base of the invitation, use scrapbooking paper (in country colors) or plain kraft paper. 
Write the text with a linner (capillary pen) or colored felt-tip pens.
Meet the guests, forcing them to introduce themselves “at gunpoint”. You can come up with a password, something like: "I am Walker, Texas Ranger!", And to the Indians: "I am the leader of the Cheyenne tribe!".
3. Take care about costumes!
Naturally, in order for everything to look natural in the spirit of the Wild West, everyone must be ready both externally and internally. That is to be cheerful, loud and always ready to draw a pistol from a holster or an arrow from a quiver.
More about images.
cowboy man: jeans, sew on fringed overlays, wide leather belt, plaid shirt, neckerchief, cowboy hat. Cowboy-style leather boots are desirable. If they are not there, pick up shoes with an elongated toe: what if the boots hid under wide jeans?
Also, you can add characters such as sheriff(how without a servant of the law?) 
and bandit(who, of course, is wanted for a hefty reward!). 
Cowgirl: almost everything is the same: jeans or denim shorts (skirt), a plaid shirt (or a blouse with a deep neckline and ruffles), cowboy boots, wide leather bracelets, a holster with a weapon or a rough belt, makeup “under natural” (but red is allowed pomade). Hair is loose, or braided in two pigtails. A cowboy hat will also be in place. 
If a girl "not a cowboy", replace some elements with a similar country style: a knee-length or floor-length skirt, a thin blouse (light or colorful), you can wear a denim vest or jacket. The hairstyle is the same. 
Indians: these costumes are more difficult to construct. The ideal option is to rent it. You can try to make an outfit from scraps of brown fabric (better for suede) and any material at hand (feathers, bright jewelry, paints ...). Perhaps there are sandals with high laces. Pay due attention to makeup! This is half of the image. 
In case the invitees suddenly do not find some small but important attributes, stock up and be ready to hand them at the entrance. 
To better get used to the role, invite guests to watch several films - classics of the appropriate theme (westerns): "Buffalo Bill and the Indians", "Pancho Villa", "The Long Way", "The Lone Ranger", "Once Upon a Time in the Wild West", "Good bad, evil...
4. Venue and decoration.
The ideal place for a Wild West party is a dacha (in cowboy terms: “family ranch”). Rest will be noisy and loud.
You will have to work hard, since the area that needs to be prepared is very decent. A room in a country house, or an equipped tent should be decorated with red flags, wild flowers, spikelets should be placed in vases from a vine, bright feathers can be added. If you can set up a retro bar style counter - a great party highlight! Hang retro curtains. Cover the furniture with tablecloths in a characteristic color: red and white cage or retro flowers. Bales of hay will look harmonious both in the yard and near the festive table (these are not European-style repairs for you!). 
Hang around the territory something like a lasso, cowboy hats, horseshoes, put rows of cans or beer bottles on the fence. 
At the entrance to the yard, hang a large Wanted poster with a photo of one of the guests (find out who will choose the role of a bandit). Be sure to indicate the amount of the reward (preferably in kopecks: so many zeros, but real, if the Hero demands the entire amount). Organize a couple of beautiful targets (it's easy to make from Styrofoam and paint it), as well as arrange cacti around the yard (of course, from Styrofoam, draw needles with a marker - it will be very funny!). On the street, conditionally divide the territory into half cowboys and Indians. Cowboys - a haystack and wooden benches. Indians - wigwam and fire. All this can also be easily built according to a simple scheme. 
Arrange colorful retro posters.
5. Music.
Entertainment is necessary and important. First of all, it's loud music. Remember how much space is occupied by waving arms and skipping, which they call dance! By the way, it would not hurt to watch a couple of videos before the holiday, it would be great if many people pick up the songs, the dances, and the temper of the scorchers! Suitable tracks will be hits from: Ann Murray, Gene Watson, George Strait, selective songs by Madonna, Pink, as well as tracks from the mentioned films!
6. Entertainment.
Contests are talked about a few hours after the start of the celebration: let the audience adapt and get used to the roles. If we talk about two warring "groups" (cowboys and Indians), who today decided to reconcile for the sake of a common friend (birthday boy), then the contests must be chosen correctly. Cowboys and Indians must compete, otherwise the peculiarity of such an unusual company will be lost. I offer the following options:
Competition "Who is more". Two teams are thrown into tin cans. The team with the most coins in the bank wins.
Competition "In the apple". The cowboys take turns firing five shots with children's pistols, the Indians with a bow (it's possible that the bow will be a problem - stock up on darts!). Each to their own target. The one with the most "wounds" wins. If both teams hit (all five times), then the one who hit closer to the center of the target.
Candle Burning Competition. Two people (one from each team) from the same distance must extinguish three candles with a water pistol.
Contest "Take me, horse." Each team has a horse and a rider (boy and girl respectively). It's simple: run to the fence and back. The faster horse wins. In the second option, two participants must saddle a wooden toy horse. (26-2)
Competition "In search of treasures". Give two teams a poorly drawn map to find the treasure. Whoever thinks faster - takes the treasure. In the role of treasure - a bottle of good alcohol.
The team with the most points gets a gift. Let it be something edible, otherwise it’s hard to please 5-6 people at once. If one person is awarded, it may be a modern cowboy-style hat, a leather belt, or a flask.
Be sure to think about what songs you can sing around the evening fire. Or maybe your company likes scary or just interesting stories...
7. Menu and drinks.
Cowboys, like Indians, are people with an appetite. Save light snacks for a French-style party. Coarsely chopped meat, barbecue, baked chicken thighs, shish kebab, balyki, ham will be relevant here. Stews, pilaf with vegetables in large containers are also suitable. 
Do not be afraid to add spice to dishes - today it is appropriate! Drinks also dictate the mandatory availability of choice. Cowboys go great with tequila, whiskey, beer and (yes!) milk! The latter is generally their native drink. But the Indians have their favorite "drink of the gods" from cocoa beans and various spices. In short, cook cocoa for them, not a single feast was held by the Indians without it.
Finally. Don't forget to take lots of photos. They are sure to be exclusive. 
Let your friends appreciate your work, and you will have a great time knocking your heels on the wooden floor and shouting out that “if there is no meat in the roast beef, it’s not roast beef” or “The sheriff’s Indians don’t care about problems”!
