Theme Party Invitation Ideas
When
it comes time to come up with invitations for your western theme party,
make an attempt to think outside the box. The Old West theme, as far as
theme parties go, is perhaps one of the most used of all the themes. It
might be tempting for your party guests to disengage from the theme simply
from a been there, done that perspective. Help them get excited
to come to YOUR western theme party with some of these western party invitation
ideas.
Write Delivered
by Pony Express or Delivered by Wells Fargo on the envelopes.
Use the sides of paper sacks (cut in large sheets) for the actual invitation.
They definitely provide a more rustic look.
Insert a small Wanted Poster in the invitation. If you are handy with
Photoshop (or know someone who might be) its not difficult to create
your own with the guest of honors face on the poster. Or
if
you have the time, put your party guests faces on the posters along with
a fun crime they might have committed or that they are WANTED to come
to the party.

GRAB
A WESTERN PARTY PACK
- Sometimes time to prep is short and you need things that are more
"plug'n play." This package contains four different digital
items you can immediately download including Western themed Bingo
as well as a couple western themed treasure hunts. Click HERE
to download them. |
Announce
to your guests that gold was struck and that they are invited to stake
their claim. You can disguise the invitation like an old newspaper
article from a local gazette.
Incorporate the Homestead Act of 1862 which stated that Congress
granted 160 acres if they would move west and live on the land for five
years (they needed to be 21 years of age or older.) Invite your guests
to move west. You could even make a makeshift deed for the
160 acres and insert it into the invitations.

AGED
WESTERN PAPER - Sometimes
the best ideas for games and activities aren't necessarily the game
itself, but the materials used to play them. Even the simplest of
trivia games, etc. can be a lot more fun if you're playing on old
west paper. These hand aged sheets of paper come in packages of 10
and not only look old, but they FEEL old, as well. The western cactus
on each page adds to the old west feel! You can order your packs HERE. |

PLAN
AN OLD WEST TREASURE HUNT - Although
not always the easiest to design, having an ongoing activity like
this can be the perfect additional to your western party. The trick
is to not reward the first place team (that way, nobody is rushing
and they can do it at their leisure.) But rather instead offer a raffle
at the end among all those teams who FINISHED the treasure hunt! We've
found that ongoing games and activities can often work out better
for some crowds over activities where everyone HAS to stop what they
are doing. To download a collection of ready to go treasure hunt puzzles,
