The Wild West Fancy Dress theme brings more to just cowboys and indians that we are all familiar with.

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.

With all that going on it’s pretty easy to make up some story lines as the party goes on and get into acting out whatever part you choose.

Adding props and music is as easy as 1-2-3. Put together the party in a bar and name it saloon. Serve a variety of beer, jack d’s and of course, tequila, don’t forget and get a few cactuses hang around the place to make it even more authentic. Add music to the scene by palying “There’s a house in New Orleans” or other famous western songs. Spice it up with the theme from Little House on the Prarie and see if anyone can sing along with 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 lil missy, mind if I tie up beside you?”

Squaw to Indian Brave or Chief: “That’s a big tomahawk you’ve got there”

Cowboy (with a John Wayne accent) “They call me Big John”

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?”

Cowboy to cowgirl or saloon girl: “Hop up here behind me and we’ll ride off into the sunset” (you need a toy horse for this one!)

Gambler or Cowboy to cowgirl, settler or saloon girl: “What’s a pretty girl like you doin’ in a place like this?”Gambler or Cowboy to cowgirl, settler or saloon girl: “What’s a purdy gal like you doin’ in a place like this?”

Cowboy to cowgirl “Let’s split this one horse town”.

And if you really want to stir things up go for the Monty Python laugh and arrive on a toy horse and have a friend use coconut shells for your sound effects!

Those was just some of the conversation openers for the wild West fancy dress theme that you can use.
