Throw a rootin tootin Sheriff Callie’s Wild West birthday party theme for your little cowgirl or cowboy with these ideas and supplies.  Decorations, invitations, favors, games, food and cake decorating ideas are covered here (all in one place) to help you plan the greatest party in all of the Wild West.

If you haven’t heard much about the show here’s a bit of a filler. Sheriff Callie’s Wild West is a show that first aired on Disney Junior in 2014 for preschoolers. It features a Calico cat named Callie who is the Sheriff of a town called Nice and Friendly Corners.  Her job is to make sure that things are running smoothly, by helping the townsfolk with their problems and ensuring that the town maintains its reputation as the friendliest town in the Wild West.

The Show has plenty of great themes that run through it and it aims to teach kids about things like the importance of being a good friend and community member. So with that little introduction done, let’s move on to party planning and ideas.

Sheriff Callie’s Wild West Birthday Party Invitations

The first things you’ll want to sort out for your western themed party is invitations. Print our Sheriff Callie birthday party invitation templates for free, fill in and use for your party.

For personalized invitations we would suggest searching on places like Etsy and eBay for a range of custom Sheriff Callie’s Wild West party invitations. The sellers there have lots of great designs and many take custom orders if you would like to have some uniquely made for your little one.

Another way to go with invitations would be to make your own. Yes this would take a little more time but there are some great D.I.Y cowboy/girl themed invitation ideas you can find when you have a good look around. One of which we’d like to highlight would be the simple cowboy hat invitations here. These were made by cutting construction paper into cowboy hat shapes and adding extras like a sheriff badge and a strip of pink. The same can be done to replicate Sheriff Callie’s hat.

Sheriff Callie’s Wild West Birthday Party Decorations

Even though there is not much in terms of official Sheriff Callie party decorations, you can still decorate your party with a few pieces and elements from the Wild West. There are plenty of cowgirl and western themed props available that you can use for this theme. Here are a few decorating ideas that would work well for a Sheriff Callie birthday party.

*Sheriff Callie Color Scheme
For the color scheme consider using pink, brown and blue (those are the main colors in Sheriff Callie’s outfit). You could integrate these colors into your venue with the use of streamers, balloons and even confetti. Other patterns that work well for this theme are cow print and bandana. Supplies with these colors and patterns are not too hard to find from local stores and even easier to find online.

*Free DIY Printable Sheriff Callie Birthday Banner
You can even make your own Sheriff Callie birthday banner by printing this Free Sheriff Callie banner template , 2)Cutting each banner piece out according to shape 3) Punching holes above lettering and running pink ribbon through them to string pieces together (as seen in the pic below).

*Free Sheriff Callie Welcome Sign

As an additional decoration you can use this free printable Sheriff Callie welcome sign and display it on your door or somewhere where guests will see it as soon as they arrive at the venue.

*Sheriff Callie Wall Decals/Posters

If your holding your party indoors, you might find that you have some free wall spaces. A great way to decorate them is to use wall decals or posters. Pink cowgirl, western themed and actual Sheriff Callie wall decals are on sale and are good for adding more color to a room. Also consider using Sheriff Callie coloring pages to do this job too. You can print them off for free from the Disney junior site and have your little one color them in before putting them up on the walls.

*DIY Cactus plant props
You could even make a few cardboard cactus plants to place around the venue. They’re relatively easy to make and would definitely add to the wild west feel. If it’s within your budget you could use an inflatable cactus plant instead.

*Sheriff Callie Balloons
For Sheriff Callie balloons or balloons fitting the theme, you can’t go wrong with cow print or cowgirl themed balloons. For something a little different however make these easy D.I.Y cactus balloons with plain colored green and yellow balloons, pompoms and a pen (to draw on the spikes). 

*Haystack Seats
If your holding your party outdoors you could use haystacks as seats or as part of your decorations. Check out this lovely cowgirl party setup where haystacks where used to great effect.

*Western Prop Ideas
Other props to add can include barrels, wagon wheels, tumbleweed, wooden signs and wanted signs.

Sheriff Callie Party Setup

A beautifully setup party table is important for setting the right scene and can really make a great impression on your guests when they step into the party room. Here are some great ways to decorate your party table:

*Pink Gingham or Bandana tablecloth
A simple pink or Gingham pink tablecloth can be enough to set the tone for western themed table accents. You could use bandanas as part of table decorations too by spreading a few over the tablecloth as seen here.

*DIY Cactus Centerpiece
For a Sheriff Callie centerpiece follow this video tutorial by Mister Maker to make a bubble wrap cactus plant. This will look great standing in the center of any party table.

*Serve some food in pails
To hold treats, fill up some pails with finger foods or snacks that kids can pick up and eat. Rice krispie squares labelled haystacks would work well served in this way. Pails can also be used to store cutlery.

*Sheriff Callie Party plates, cups and napkin ideas
As for dinnerware, there are plenty of choices for designs you could go with for plates, cups, napkins etc. For example, you could use a cow print set to serve the food or you could use pink cowgirl ones which would match the rest of your decorations if you go with a pink, brown and blue color scheme. There are even red and blue bandanna plates and cups available if that is more what you are looking for. Regardless you’ve definitely got options when it comes to a western themed birthday party.
