Throwing a Party Country Style! Part 3: Food

Do you like to have themed parties? We have been to a few, had an awesome time, and decided to throw a Country Party for our daughter’s 16th birthday. Food is always a big part of our most parties and we wanted to stay with the theme of the party and serve what we thought of as good country style food.

To start with we had peanuts and popcorn as snacks to munch on. They were in cute containers everywhere for convenience and it added to the decor.

We had lots of corn on the cob that the boys helped peel and during the summer we were able to buy it for 10 cents and ear.

We boiled the corn and served them in these buckets. We had some of the corn out before the main meal. People enjoyed having it early.

  1. When we first started planning our wedding, we were interested in booking venues nearby, but all of the places we visited were either rip-offs, rigid or overall run-down and just not that impressive. But this venue was a true gem.
