How does the saying go again? “Everything is big in Texas!”, and that includes their bbq parties. So fire up the coals and go serve your guests some juicy and delicious barbecue that will satisfy any Texan. Here are some fun bbq party ideas on how to make your “Texan bbq party” an unforgettable experience to you and your guests. You can set up the stage for your Texan-inspired bbq party at the beach or in your own backyard. The beach scene should add some spice to the occasion, but you could always create the same feel in your own backyard.
Start with the attire, ask your guests to wear some faded blue jeans or some cowboy hats to keep the Texan ambiance present all throughout the party. Put up some slogans stating things like “eat a barbecue without using a napkin”, etc. Lay down some tumbleweed-strewn dust bowl with straw on the floor or use some hay bales as chairs. Decorate the place with saddles, horseshoes, wagon wheels and Texan flag to make it more realistic. It is also imperative that your music is Texan like county toe-tapping music or something from the famous country singers.
Cover your tables with red and white checked tablecloths and use some colorful bandanas instead of napkins. Finish up your tables with a pot of cactus as your centerpiece or some fresh flowers would do. The perfect bbq party food for your Texan party are spareribs and a hunk of corn bread. Don’t forget to bring out your mouth-watering bbq sauces and make sure that your guests have a wide array to choose from. Serve your drinks in old styled washtubs and have buckets of ice ready. If you do this perfectly, you’d be ready to put up your own Texan bbq party catering business!
It would also be fun if you plan out some entertainment like line dancing for the guests to participate in. Other famous Texan games are Texas Hold ‘em, Cattle Corral and Squirt-gun-showdown. You could also highlight the bbq party by setting up a campfire, which is legendary with Texas cowboys, and have someone sing a county song with a guitar.
