All aboard to sail the seven seas. If yer gonna have a pirate birthday party ye gotta batten down the hatches and look like yer havin’ a pirate birthday party. Walk the plank with us and see what a real shipshape pirate birthday party looks like. Aye?
X marks the spot. A sign or banner in the front yard will let the buckaroos know exactly where the pirate birthday party is. Ye don’t want them at the wrong ship, now do ye? Ye can even hoist a pirate flag or two in the yard and hang a door banner on the front door. The neighbors will surely shiver the’r timbers!
Yo-ho-ho...it's time to go! Enter at yer own risk. Lay a board leading down the hall or entry way for the buckos to walk across. You can even use squares of brown construction paper glued together or even cut cardboard pieces from boxes to resemble a board if you’d rather.
Enter at yer own risk! Fix up the main pirate birthday party room with a mix and match of these seaworthy suggestions.
Twist color coordinating crate paper and drape from the corners of the room and hang some Pirate Ship Mylar Balloons from the ceiling. Ye can use helium or regular balloons in the colors of your choice like red and black or black and gold. Or go all out with pirate balloons. Ye can even use both! A personalized pirate party banner hung on the wall will welcome your crew.
Pirate props are a must! No pirate birthday party is complete without a treasure chest. Make your own treasure chest or check these out. This treasure chest makes eh great center piece. Fill with gold coins and whatever costume jewelry you have on hand, candy that you can pick up at a dollar or thrift store. This was the biggest hit at our pirate birthday party-the candy!
A light up talking pirate head makes a great conversation piece and can be sat on the food table or even on a coffee or end table.
Hang a Skull & Bones Pinatafrom the ceiling for a decoration now and a game to play later. Purchase pre-filled or fill with your own selections like skull and crossbones candy, pirate gummy candy and pirate suckers. There are so many to choose from you may want to have more than one.
Tables make great displays for pirate decorations. Make a snack table, a cake and a drink table, and even a gift table if you would like. Spread a pirate themed tablecloth atop and decorate with old colored bottles (or new ones that are made to look old with a little added dust). Root beer bottles work well too. You can even purchase pirate bottles.
Scatter beads and gold coins about. Surprisingly even the boys wanted to take beads home at our pirate birthday party. Set treasure maps around on each table.
Our snack section and cake and beverage sections include ideas on arranging the food and drinks and other suggestions on table settings such as napkins, cups, and plates. Don’t forget a pirate centerpiece to complete yer cap’n’s table
Pirate steins and mugs can be sat around with grapes or colorful beads streaming out. Bandannas, eye patches and pirate flags can be placed around too.
Decorate yer galleon with treasures from the deep. Swag a fishnet from the ceiling t hold a day’s catch of starfish, sea shells, old bottles and what have ye.
Remember me hearties, it is yer ship, ye are the cap’n. Decorate as ye please and the young mateys will love it. Don’t forget to let the pirate birthday party buckaroo pitch in too. Ye might be surprised how creative the young bucko can be.
