There's still lots you can do!  I love that you're doing a party theme about what YOU love!  I think it's great!  

For food, I personally believe that the theme should have nothing to do with the food, that it's your birthday and your party and you should have the food that you love and that's your favorite.  That's just my opinion though.  I feel the theme should be everywhere, BUT the food, think about it, you may be serving food that you may or may not like, or just somewhat like just to follow a theme, when there's foods you love SO much better!  It's your Birthday and your party, have those foods that YOU love!  If pizza's your favorite, have that, if it's tacos, do a taco bar, if it's fried chicken do that,  do the foods, snacks, etc that YOU love to have!  The foods that you choose to eat when you have a say when eating out, etc!

For decorations, you can take some pictures of horses and hang them up.  If you want it to be real country western you can put some sawdust on the floor if the hall allows you, which usually they will as you're the one cleaning up, then you can get picnic tables and put red checkered or just red tablecloths on them.  It would look really cute!  You can also get some denim material and decorate with that.  You can get red and blue balloons and cluster them around the room in the corners.

For the centerpieces, you can do statues of horses, you can do white pillar candles and have a red or blue bandana around the base of them.  If you can find some vases or some kind of sturdy western hats that you can put floral foam in and then flowers in them.  Or you can get a vase and wrap a rope or bandana around it, to where you can't see the vase anymore and just the rope, then you can put flowers in them, and it will look like the rope or the bandana is holding up the flowers.

If you can get some western hats, you can hang them on the walls to make them decorations for the party, they would look cool on the wall!

You can also get some bales of hay and stack them in the corners around the room which would look really cool!  You can tie the balloons to the bales of hay!  You can stay one or two bales on top of each other and then tie the clusters of red and blue balloons on the hay and it would look really cool.  You can do that in each corner of the room and wherever else you feel it needs "something" else.

You're already doing line dancing and I'm sure lots of people are going to be dancing so that's going to take a lot of time.

For games, you can do:

If you have a DJ or someone in charge of the music, you can play, Name that Tune have the DJ or whoever play a small snippet of the country song and whoever guesses what the song is, wins!  You can do this with as many songs as you want, and you can give a prize to each right answer, or whoever gets the most right.  

You can make it fun and do musical chairs with the country music and whoever's willing to have fun with it!

You can do pin the tail on the horse!  Get a big picture of a horse and then make a copy and make enough copies so that you can cut out his tail and make copies of his tail and have enough for everyone and play it the same way you would pin the tail on the donkey. Blindfold the players and whoever gets closest, wins!  You can play too, just have someone blindfold you!

For favors, depending on how many people you're having, you can buy little stuffed horses and put a ribbon around them your name and date of your party and sweet 16, or if you can find Horse keychains.  Get something with a horse them.  Check out the website, orientaltrading.com they are awesome and sell things in bulk and can be cheaper than dollar stores and better!  You may find horse things there and in bulks of 20 to 100 for like $20!!  That's how good they are!  You may have to look around or do a search, but keep going back a few weeks, they are great there and always get new things in all the time.   You may be able to get tons of things there, and if you find something, maybe you can personalize it with ribbon and a paint pen.

I hope some of these ideas help and that you have a great party and a very Happy Sweet 16!!

For Horses: go to a farm and ride on horses and stuff and dance in the barn to country music.

For swimming: go to a beach on the way home.

For decoration: get some streamers and balloons (but that is all I can say about the decorations, sorry)

For food: get lolly's chocolate and cake  (and what ever else you want)                     :HAPPY  16th  BIRTHDAY:
