Children’s birthday party in the Wild West

The invitation to the Wild West

If you are planning a wild west party, there are many options for a successful invitation card. For example, you can provide the map with two opening saloon doors, design the outline of the map like a fort or label a sheriff’s star in proper style. So the little sheriffs already have their first utensil for the celebration. Of course, cowboys and Indians are also very welcome!

decoration and food

If you have the opportunity, decorate a room in your apartment in the style of the Wild West. You can hang a saloon sign over the front door, make stylish folding doors out of cardboard and make Wanted posters with your little one’s face on them. Horseshoes, Indian feathers and cowboy hats also look good on the walls. The children will definitely have a lot of fun in a small tent for hiding and playing. If you don’t have one of your own, ask your circle of acquaintances.

To eat, you can cook a hearty bean soup and serve it with sandwiches. But sausages or meatballs are also a delicious meal for real cowboys. You can find more recipe suggestions in this special under “ Eating and Drinking ”.

Welcome to the prairie

If you haven’t gotten around to vacuuming because you’re too stressed out, then this party is a pretty lucky hit. The little guests will definitely stir up a lot of dust on this day, because that’s part of the Wild West. And the otherwise unwelcome dust bunnies are of course converted into flying bales of hay – a more stylish decoration is hardly possible and you’ll get to tidying up and cleaning soon enough.

As a culinary connection to gold panning, you can serve delicious (gold) nuggets with fries to eat. In the summer, the perfect ending would be a small campfire outside. Here you can toast stick bread or marshmallows and the little John Waynes finally ride home towards the sunset. Or will be picked up by mum and dad…

Program items in the Wild West

Of course, real cowboys also need a scarf. You can easily make this yourself. It is best to prepare some potato stamps in advance, which the children can then paint with paint and then print on plain-colored cloths. If some children would rather be Indians, you can of course also make a headdress out of feathers.

A gold prospecting competition is a particular highlight with this motto. To do this, paint many small stones with gold paint and hide them in two large tubs of sand. Divided into two teams, the children can now “dig” for gold with a sieve. Whoever has found the most gold at the end is the winner!
