Birthday Party Theme: Pirate Party
Boys love to play pirate. Eye patches, swords, and hooks
are all the rage these days, with all of the movies and
television shows that feature pirates. A pirate birthday
party is sure to be lots of fun for any young
swashbuckler.
Pirate Party Invitations and Decorations
Invitations for pirate parties can be lots of fun. You
can probably find a variety of designs at any party
supply shop, but it's much more fun to make them
yourself if you have the time. Your soon-to-be birthday
boy will probably be glad to help.
Treasure maps are ideal for pirate party invitations.
You could make a regular card with a treasure map on
front, or you could make an authentic-looking treasure
map with the party information on the back. Using
parchment paper, or paper that is of a similar color,
will make the maps look more authentic.
If you're hand delivering the invitations, a message in
a bottle is lots of fun. Simply write the party details
on some parchment or similar paper, roll it up and tie
it with string, and put it in an empty glass
single-serving soda bottle. You could even put in some
sand or small shells for added effect.
For decorations, you could use Jolly Roger flags or toy
swords hung on the wall. Pirate or ship piñatas also
make great decorations, and they provide an easy party
game as an added bonus. Large treasure maps also make
great decorations.
Pirate Party Food and Favors
There are several types of cake that would go well with
a pirate party. A skull and crossbones cake is a popular
choice. A cake with blue icing would make a great base
for a pirate ship cake topper. Alternatively, you could
use cupcakes topped with pirate-themed toppers or
candies.
Fish-shaped snacks go nicely with a pirate party.
Goldfish crackers or gummy fish could be served with the
cake. You could also cut apples, pears, or other fruits
in half and stick a toothpick in the middle of the flat
side, adding a triangular piece of paper to make a
pirate ship.
Small pouches filled with chocolate coins make fun and
simple party favors. Goodie bags can also be filled with
items such as eye patches, small toy swords, and other
treasures. A treasure hunt makes a great party game and
allows guests to "earn" their favors.
Planning a pirate party is lots of fun, and the party
itself is even better. Playing pirate is great, and it's
even more enjoyable when you have lots of props and
plenty of friends to play along with. Make sure you have
a camera on hand, because there will surely be many
memorable moments.
