Here’s how to put together a fun-filled multi-day celebration.
By: Lynne Kendall Lawson5. Dude Ranch
Head out to the ranch for western-flair activities like horseback riding, roping lessons, archery, fly fishing and campfire cookouts in breathtaking natural scenery.
Menu Ideas:
Chef Sharp suggests “bison sliders, empanadas and churros,” and prime rib, southern-fried chicken, roasted pork, sliders and breakfast burritos with slow-cooked beans and cornbread for authentic western flavor. Again, s’mores by the campfire are always a hit with guests.
Lottie Fowler, event planner at Fort Worth, Texas-based Grit and Gold, adds, “For an after-wedding breakfast, we serve southern Texas toast, biscuits with chocolate on top and muffins.”
Welcome Basket Ideas:
- Packets of barbecue rub
- Ranch logo drink bottles or cozies
- Beer bottle openers
- “Little bottles of whiskey,” says Fowler
- Sheriff badges or toy horses for kids
