Pirate Party Décor
Pirate décor is lots of fun. Whether the party is for a girl or a boy, the options are truly endless. If the party you are throwing is for a girl, check out the Ultimate Pink Skull party pack. It has absolutely everything you need for a great Pirate Pink Skull party. From the dramatic hot pink and black colors that sets the tone for the party from the minute guests arrive to the table cloths, placemats and centerpieces, this party will be one to remember!
Drape streamers at the front entrance to create the entrance (gangplank) to the party. Arrange clusters of black and hot pink balloons throughout the party area. Display the giant Pink Skull wall decals and use them as a great backdrop for photos. After the party, you can re-locate the decals to the birthday girl’s bedroom. The personalized Pink Skull birthday party banner can be hung indoors or out.
If the pirate party is for a boy, be sure to check out the Pirates Ultimate Party Pack. The bold black, gold and red color scheme is immediately striking. The glow-in-the-dark swords combined with the skull mugs will have everyone at the party talking. Have the birthday boy challenge each guest to a duel as they arrive to prove they are “worthy” of attending. A personalized pirate birthday party banner is a great finishing touch for the event. With plates, cutlery and tables cloths included, the Pirate Party Pack set up and clean up is a breeze.
The Pirate Birthday Party Menu & Beverages
Every pirate loves a big feast and your pirate birthday party shouldn’t be an exception. If you are hosting the party outside, try planning a barbeque with ribs, burgers or even shish kabobs. If you are feeling a little adventurous, add some Caribbean seasonings to your food and add a bit of an exotic feeling to the menu. Serve rice flavored with fresh lime juice & cilantro or coconut shrimp with curry mango chutney. Have slices of pineapple, mango, and kiwi to snack on. Build shish kabobs with chicken, red peppers, onion and mushrooms and then baste them with a spicy lime or sweet chili glaze.
For the younger guests, keep the flavors simple with kid-sized burgers, corn on the cob and fresh veggies. If you are really creative, come up with names for your food like “Arrrr Ribs” or “Shiver Me Timbers Shish Kabobs” and print out menus to have on the tables for guests to review.
To quench your guests thirst, order the Inflatable Pirate Ship Cooler and stock it with sodas, beer, cooler & much more. This way, guests can help themselves and you can focus your attention on other aspects of the party. Pirate beer mugs make great party favors for the adults attending the party!
You can also create a custom party theme drink which is quite popular these days. For a delicious Pirate Party Punch (The Triple PPP on your menu card) combine one 46-oz can pineapple juice with one thawed 6-oz can frozen orange juice concentrate and two litres of lemon-lime flavored soda. Pour into a freezable container and freeze for at least 8 hours. Thaw in the punch bowl for 3 hours – serve slushy for a refreshing drink.
For the Pirate Birthday cake, you can order the Pirate Ship Cake Pan and decorate the ship in your child’s favorite colors. Around the base of the cake, add some blue icing so the cake looks like it’s sailing the high seas. The plastic gold coins make great cupcake toppers if you want to serve cupcakes rather than the traditional cake. Just a few on the top of each cupcake will do the trick (and save you from hours of detailed decorating).
Pirate Party Costumes
For the Pink Skull party, order the matching tattoos so each guest can apply one as they arrive. Add the sassy pink pirate eye patches, pink skull dog tags and fingerless skull gloves and your guests will be ready for anything.
For the best pirate party, have guests done a pirate hat upon their arrival, add a couple of anchor tattoos and pirate wristbands.
Pirate Games and Activities
Piñatas are always a great party game and a natural fit for a pirate birthday party. For the girls, order the giant nail polish bottle – the hot pink and black colors perfectly matches the Pink Skull party theme. For the boys, check out the Pirate Ship party piñata. All you need to add is the piñata filling and the piñata stick.
As your guests arrive, have them come up with their secret pirate name. Ask them to write it on a piece of paper. Then, when ready, have the guest of honor pull the pirate names out and try to guess the real name of the guest. Then at the end, all the guests get to pick a pirate name for the birthday boy or girl.
A treasure hunt is always fun and works well with the Pirate Birthday party theme. Hide various small items in your home or backyard. Divide the party guests into teams, give them a list and send them off. The first team back with a completed list wins.
For the older or adult guests at the party, have a game of Pirates Bounty (aka Texas Hold’Em). Instead of poker chips, use the Gold Coins to place bets.
At the end of the party, send each guest home with “favors to remember.” The Pink Skull Favor Purse comes with body crystals, cell phone lip gloss, glitter bracelets and more. The Pirates Favor Box is great for the boys. They will love the eye patch, pirate stickers, tattoos & other pirate bounty.
Pirate Party Invitations & Thank You Cards
Let everyone know you are hosting a pirate party just by the way you send an invitation. Start with your guest list. Be sure to check out the pirate invitations or even the personalized pirate invitations. If you want to print your own invitations, use pirate language like “Ahoy Matey…You are invited to the Swashbuckling birthday party of….. Your voyage will begin at ……”
Once you have them filled out, gather enough empty glass soda bottles, put a small amount of sand and small shells in the bottom, roll the invitation like a scroll and secure with a bit of raffia or ribbon. Insert the invitation into the bottle and be sure to have the raffia or ribbon hanging over the side so guests can easily retrieve the message. Hand deliver the invitations to your guests.
Matching or personalized thank you notes are also available so you can truly complete the Pirate Birthday party theme. It can be a great idea to include a pirate party photo of the birthday boy or girl with the person receiving the thank you note. Grandparents and other family members seem to really like this added touch.
