Would you like to return a day when hard men were proud and brave about honor and women? When there were no night clubs, but dancing evenings and was actually considered entertainment on tin cans? Why not? Back then you knew how you could really have fun! If your birthday is coming up soon or you just want to organize a theme party, the topic of “wild west” would be a great idea! A Western party can be celebrated by all generations. And as with any other party, planning comes first!
What clothes for the Western topic?
In order for everything to look authentic in the spirit of the Wild West, everyone must be disguised according to the motto and in a good mood. That means happily, loud, but always ready to pull the pistol out of the halter or an arrow out of a quiver at lightning speed. Read more about the western clothing and think about what kind of costume you can tinker and put on.
Costumes for men
Men: Jeans, leather chaps with fringes, wide leather belts with metal buckle, caro chirus, bandana search, cowboy hat. In addition, of course, cowboy-style leather boots. If you don't have any, choose shoes with extended tips and wide jeans. Who will notice the difference? In addition to cowboys, you can also add characters such as a sheriff or a gangster (which of course is searched for a solid reward!).
Disguise ideas for women
Women:Skinny jeans or jeans shorts, white top and a checkered shirt form the perfect outfit for a cowgirl. Or you can combine a corset and a white carmen blouse into a long skirt. The accessories are eye-catchers: cowboy boots, cowboy hat, wide leather bracelets, a bandana cloth, wide leather belt or a holster with a weapon. Either leave your hair open or braid in two braids.
Indian: These costumes are more difficult to tinker. It would be ideal if you can rent one for the party. You can try to put together an outfit of brown fabric remains (preferably suede) and other improvised materials (springs, wooden beads, ligaments ...).Here are a few ideasthat you can try. Pay attention to the make-up to realize a perfect appearance.
So that you can get used to the role better, suggest to your guests as many western classics as possible. “For a handful of dollars” (1964), “who dances with the Wolf” (1990), “Merciless” (1992), “Maverick” (1994) are excellent examples from Hollywood. The most popular films of the genre Western comedy include the Italowesters with the film legend Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. “My name is Nobody” (1973), “The Rights and the left hand of the devil” (1970), “Four fists for a Hallelujah” (1971) - from the magnificent soundtrack to the actors to plot, the films act At the highest level. A special film evening with these films will definitely bring you in the mood for the Western party.
So that the Western party becomes an unforgettable experience, the ambience should also fit the motto “Wild West”. With the right decoration, each room can be converted into a stylish western saloon or a cattle farm. Hang up red pennant chainsCover the tablesWith red tablecloths and arrange wildflowers and wheat earnings in vases. Elements such as Lasso, Banjo, cowboy hats, horseshoes, basket bottles complete the overall picture perfectly. Hang a large “Wanted” poster with a photo of a gangster at the entrance.
Food and drinks for a western party
Cowboys and Indians are people with a big appetite. Keep light snacks for a French gourmet party. A lot of meat is eaten in the Wild West: burgers, baked chicken legs, kebabs, sausages, bacon etc. are a must on the buffet table. Maiskoben, potato wedges and the bean pan à la Bud Spencer always fit as a side dish. Eggs with bacon in the muffin form are perfect as finger food! As far as drinks are concerned, real cowboys drink tequila, whiskey and beer. Apple juice is suitable for children that looks the same. The cocoa played an important role in the Indians as a “ceremonial” food and milk cocoa was the favorite drink of her gods.
Party music, dances and games
The real wild-west atmosphere comes up at your Western party when an entertainment program is planned. Make enough space to dance! Incidentally, it would not hurt to watch a few videos from cowboy dances. It would be great if you invite a dance teacher who teaches the guests traditional western dances such as Square Dance and Line Dance! A country karaoke can also make you in a lot of mood. Famous hits from Dolly Parton, Gareth Brooks, Tim MacGraw, Reba Mcentire, Kenny Rogers, Randy Travis and songs from the films mentioned above are perfect for singing along!
Don't forget to take a lot of photos and create great memories!
