Some tips from our party planning experts for a farmyard birthday party theme:

• If your guests aren't allergic, using hay bales as decoration can make the party seem more farm authentic!
• Petting zoo's are a great source of entertainment for kids and adults that can last all day! Call the nearest petting zoo to find out their rates.
• Play musical chairs singing songs like "BINGO" or "Old McDonald" as a fun game.
• Have burlap sack races in your yard!
• For food, serve a farmyard buffet! Using foods like bacon, eggs, milk, chocolate milk, fruit and apple juice!
• A good party favor for a farmyard theme could be a cowboy/girl hat!
• With such a versatile theme, planning your birthday party games is easy. A good game would be to use rubber ducks in a small wading pool and put numbers on the bottom of each duck to coordinate with a prize for each guest!
• Bobbing for apples is always a fun game, but make sure you have a really big bucket so people aren't hitting heads!
• Along with serving soup or chili at the party, make a sign next to it saying "enjoy the slop" or if serving trail mix, make one that says "try the chicken feed"! The kids will get a kick out of it!
• For memorable photos, paint or draw a barn on a backdrop sheet of paper or a piece of cardboard and have some bales of hay for seating.
