HOE DOWN PARTY THEME

There's no better way to have a great time without the frills than a good ol' hoe down. Hoe down parties are fun for all occasions, and are a great way to throw a themed party on a budget. Since you don't need any fancy accessories or décor, you can turn your efforts and finances towards food and entertainment for everybody.

Decoration & Music
Keep it simple for your hoe down--bare wood floors, simple red-and-white checkered tablecloths, and the occasional hay bale are all you need! Bluegrass music is an absolute necessity, and make sure to get a good mix. You can control the pace of your party by playing mellow guitar/banjo blues during meals, and rompin' stompin' high-energy line dance music during activities.

Meal
For your hoe down meal, you can whip up a great Southern feast on a pretty slim budget. Barbecued ribs or chicken make a great main course, with collard greens, baked beans, and corn bread as side dishes. You can even mix up a tart "moonshine" punch to complete the perfect hoe down menu.

Activities
A hoe down is easy--dance, dance, dance. High-energy music can inspire all sorts of crazy dances, and most people have fun making up their own steps. To take it up a notch, bring in a line dance instructor to teach your guests how to square dance, do-si-do, and spin your lady for an evening that everyone will remember!
