"Well howdy lil missy, mind if I tie up beside you?" What a great fancy dress theme for some truly cheesy lines! Everybody's seen Westerns and knows how to talk cowboy and Indian.
Cowboys, cowgirls, squaws and braves, Indian chiefs...
there are already heaps of costume ideas with these alone.
The wild west fancy dress theme is broader than just cowboys and Indians however, it offers a huge choice of costumes.
There are gamblers, saloon girls, gunslingers, mexican bandits, train robbers, gold diggers, settlers, rodeo riders and sheriffs to name a few.
And in terms of props you can set the party in a bar and call it a saloon, serve beer and tequila and have a few cut out cactuses around the place; unless you're going to do it well and hire props, make it deliberately tacky and it will add to the atmosphere.
Here are some of the opening lines that you can use, depending on how you are dressed: Saloon girl to gunslinger or cowboy: "Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?" the classic Mae West line is always a good opener! Indian chief introducing himself to anyone: "Me big chief wetham botham" (insert long and silly name here) Settler or cowboy approaching an Indian brave and squaw: "Hey, I'll swap you these beads for your squaw" Cowgirl or Saloon girl to cowboy, gunslinger or gambler "What does a gal have to do to get a drink around here?" 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!) Saloon girl to cowboy: "Well hey there cowboy, want to buy me a drink?" Mexicans 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?" Cowboy to cowgirl "Let's split this one horse town".
And if you want to create an entrance, arrive on a toy horse and have a friend use coconut shells for your sound effectsla Monty Python!
