Project silent Western movies along the back drop of a tent, and
don't forget the marshmallow roasting over the open grill.

If you need inspiration for a theme, rent your favorite movies or watch
reruns of shows like Gilligan's Island. Prop houses and furniture rental
companies can provide the finishing details, including fake cacti or an
extra bar. Remind your guests to bring an extra jacket if the event will
take place in the evening or a hat if it is during the day.
