Throwing a John Deere Themed Party

By Tara Thomas , last updated December 21, 2011

If you're planning a farm or garden party, or if you just love tractors, then a throwing a John Deere themed party may be just the ticket. For nearly 175 years, John Deere has been making quality equipment that has a generational following. Because of this, these party supplies are perfect for anyone hosting a party for any John Deere fan or farming enthusiast. The signature green and yellow colors make perfect springboards for decoration ideas for a party your guests won't soon forget.

You can purchase John Deere party packs with streamers, balloons, plates, invitations, personalized party banners and more. Cow or tractor piñatas make great centerpieces, and party favors tie everything together. Here's a tip, to make a party space feel very festive on a budget, group yellow and green latex balloons in bunches and place them on chairs, table legs and taped to walls. Use Mylar balloons and put up plenty of banners and streamers to avoid the 'empty room' look.

Use farm themes liberally in your decorations. Scarecrows, farm animals, corn stalks and wheat all make excellent motifs. If you're having your party in the fall, incorporate the season's elements into the theme as well. Pumpkins, gourds, and spiced, warm drinks work nicely here.

For the food, feature hearty, fresh fare like the type of meal served on a farm. Fried chicken, ribs, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, biscuits and corn on the cob make excellent choices to feed all of your hungry farm hands. More portable foods like hamburgers and hotdogs work just as well and remember, no farm meal is complete without some delicious fresh fruit pie or cobbler and plenty of ice cream.

Guests can entertain themselves with games of horseshoe, darts, pin the tail on the donkey or even faux cow milking contests. The decision is yours and you will have lots of inspiration when throwing a John Deere themed party.
