Barnyard Party

For this down-home party, dress up the space with down-home elements like burlap, yarn and gingham. Build a barnyard out of cake, or dress cupcakes in simple gingham. Let guests feast on a fruit- and veggie-filled menu, before engaging in some fresh-air fun.

Farm Fun

Get guests outside for potato sack races, a ring toss and of course, duck, duck, goose. If you're hosting the party on a farm, a hay ride across the property is a must-do!
