Great Decorations for a Texas BBQ Housewarming Party

What better way to introduce your friends and family to your new home in the Brazos Valley than with a Texas BBQ housewarming party? After looking at many properties with your College Station, TX realtor, you have finally decided on the perfect house to live in with your family. Of course, you want to share this with people you know and also invite your new neighbors to the fun. Great food and drinks are essential, but the decorations you choose for your Texas-style shindig are equally important.

Consider these three options for Texas BBQ housewarming party decorating themes:

Patriotic Red, White and Blue With a Texas Flare

Texans have big hearts and a lot of pride in their state and the great USA. You can't go wrong with red, white and blue decorations for a Texas BBQ housewarming party, especially if it is being held near July 4th. Add even more Texas style by using large stars in most of the decorating.

Specific ideas include red and white checked tablecloths, Texas flag toothpicks to stick in the finger food or cupcakes, star-shaped light garlands and anything that mentions one of the great Texas sports teams or College Station's own Texas A&M University.

Down Home Cowboy and Country

A home-style barbecue housewarming party is the perfect place to display decorations with country charm and cowboy style. Think rustic, old-fashioned and the wild, wild west. This decoration style for a get-together can overlap with the patriotic theme somewhat.

Along with the checked or cow print tablecloths, use bandannas for napkins and old lanterns for lighting instead of candles or electric lights. Also, consider using plastic cowboy boots as vases for wildflowers and place them in the center of the tables. Give every guest an inexpensive cowboy hat to wear. Different tables can be identified with a painted board sign saying "Saloon" for the drinks area and "Chuck Wagon" for the food table.

Tex-Mex Southwestern Style

If you want your new Texas home's barbecue party to have a south-of-the-border flare, you might like to decorate with a Tex-Mex or Southwestern style. Instead of red, white and blue, think bright, multi-colored serape cloth on the tables with fake cacti decorations in the middle. Other fun options to include are painted maracas, straw sombreros and strings of chili peppers. You can even find chili pepper shaped lights to hang from the trees surrounding your party spot.

No matter what style of decoration you choose for your Texas BBQ housewarming party, be sure to have plenty of great food and drinks on hand. Texas is quite serious about their barbecuing skills, so if you have recently moved from another area of the country, it might be a great idea to get tips from the locals or even hire a specialist. After all, you want to make the best impression on your new neighbors since you will be living in your College Station or Bryan, TX home for many years to come.
