Wild West Fancy Dress – More Than Just Cowboys And Indians
The Wild West Fancy Dress theme is much more than just cowboys and indians.
The reason why it’s a real great party theme is the selection of costumes that you can choose from as weel as the characters available. Each of them, uniquely different and not to mention, it’s great for role playing because there’s a whole lot of content on this theme. Just about any theme party, once it gets very difficult to conceptualize everything, surely the more exciting the party tends to be.
The Wild West Fancy Dress theme makes it so easy. Everyone has seen westerns and knows that cowboys know how to use a whip and a lasso, shoot everyone and hang out in saloons, Indians have long and complicated names and are forced to trade their land for beads and get driven off their land, but not without taking a few skulls with their tomahawks, gamblers gamble, gold diggers lose all their gold to gamblers and end up in a shoot out, train robbers and bandits are chased out of town by sheriffs and cowgirls are few and far between but luckily there are saloon girls aplenty.
Having seen those scenarios in western movies, it’s pretty easy to create some story lines as the party goes on and dive into acting out whatever part you pick.
In terms of the props and music it’s also easy. Set up the party in a bar and call it a saloon, serve beer and tequila and have a few cut out cactuses around the place. Play “There is a house in New Orleans” and music from the famous westerns… and throw in the theme from Little House on the Prarie to see if anyone recognises it!
With gamblers, saloon girls, gunslingers, mexican bandits, train robbers, gold diggers, settlers, rodeo riders, sheriffs cowboys, cowgirls, Indian sqaws, braves and chiefs there are also plenty of chat up lines or opening lines you can use.
Cowboy to cowgirl: “Well howdy little missy, that’s a fine horse you’ve got there.”
Squaw to Indian Brave or Chief: “That’s a big tomahawk you’ve got there”
Sheriff to cowboy or gambler “Well if it ain’t moby. What brings you to this part of town?”
Settler or cowboy approaching an Indian brave and squaw: “Hey, I’ll swap you these beads for your squaw”
Saloon girl to cowboy: “Well hey there cowboy, wanna buy me a drink?”
Mexican bandit to anyone, particularly talking about a pretty girl: “rrrriba rrrriba rrrriba”
Gambler or Cowboy to cowgirl, settler or saloon girl: “What’s a pretty girl like you doin’ in a place like this?”
Saloon girl to gunslinger or cowboy: “Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?”
And if you want to really be silly, arrive on a toy horse and have a friend use coconut shells for your sound effects la Monty Python!
There ya go! T’was just some of the conversation openers for the wild West fancy dress theme that y’all can use.
