Pirate parties are always enjoyable to host. After all these decades, they just seem to continue being one of the most popular themes for both children and adults. This is a wonderful theme that works well around the Halloween season or for any birthday occasion. To assist in your endeavors to create the party of the year, here are some pirate party ideas which are certain to shiver ye timbers!
INVITES FOR A PIRATE PARTY
To plan the perfect pirate party, first you must start by creating and delivering the infamous invite. Obviously, they will start the ball rolling for setting the tone of your party. Be sure to make them interesting, perhaps a bit intriguing to insure that your potential party-goers start looking forward to your upcoming par-tay!
A dark colored invite with a white skull and crossbones design shall be a "dead" give away that you are having a pirate party.
Aside from providing your guests with the basic party details, be sure to request your invitees come dressed in pirate outfits. Fortunately, pirate attire is both fun and inexpensive to create. With the help of your local thrift shop, your guests should be able to pull together a pirate or wench outfit fairly easily. They can then accessorize their pirate duds with some gloves that have the fingertips cut off, long curly wig, a sword or hook hand, gold hoop earring, eye patch, and perhaps a stuffed parrot to wear on the shoulder.
The good news is that you will most likely be able to come up with a pirate costume for approximately $15 or even less using products from your nearby second-hand shops, as well as local arts and crafts shops.
As visitors arrive, be sure to welcome them with a hearty, "Ahoy, Mates"!
DECORATIONS FOR A PIRATE PARTY
When decorating for a pirate theme party it can be done easily as well as inexpensively and still look great. In addition, you'll have a super time turning your home or rented venue into your pirate setting.
You can start by designing your own special door cover. For example, you might want to cover the entire door in black butcher paper and then add a white skull and cross bone design. Another option would be turn the door into one huge Jolly Roger flag. Either way, as your guests arrive, they will be welcomed by a wonderful pirate door that lets them know that there is fun to be had behind the door. The colors that are usually associated with those cut-throat buccaneers tend to be red, black, and gold.
You could call your local movie theater and talk to someone about acquiring some of the posters they might have from pirate films that were previously shown at the theater. Posters would be a wonderful option to use when you are looking to transform white walls into a pirate atmosphere.
Another fun decoration that you might want to consider using are some fishnets. They can be hung on your ceilings or walls. Then all you have to do is attach a few seashells, lobsters or crabs to them and you have an instant sea-worthy atmosphere for your ceiling.
If you have access to a sizable old chest, it could easily serve as a treasure chest. You can fill it up with pirate booty using things like colorful Mardi Gras beads and pearl necklaces, tiaras and crowns that are adorned with jewels, along with gold foiled-wrapped chocolate coins.
You can also decorate large wall space with plastic swords and/or treasure maps. The maps could easily be created by crumpling old road-maps and soaking them in strong tea to give them an old appearance. An alternate way to make the maps would be to recycle some brown paper bags by turning them into maps. Crumple them up, tear the edges a bit, draw out some black lines, a red "X" to mark the treasure location, some fun pirate lingo, and you're good to go.
Be sure to adorn your tables so they have a pirate emphasis. You can cover the table with a themed tablecloth and add some glass storage containers that are filled with strands of colorful beads spilling out.
PIRATE PARTY IDEAS FOR FOOD
Your food, which is also known as grub in pirate terms, is always an important element that must be considered in order to host a successful party.
Fortunately, you can make just about any food item into a pirate's delightful food celebration. For instance, you could serve some pirate's gold to your guests, which would be chicken nuggets. Hotdogs covered in chili with a mini Jolly Roger flag inserted into them could be renamed sea-dogs. If you think your guests might enjoy a little seaweed, all you need to do is whip up your favorite chicken Alfredo and color the sauce with a little green food coloring.
The drinks you serve shall no longer be referred to Pepsi, Sprite, punch, and the like, but rather grog. You can differentiate them by calling them Pepsi Grog, Grog Punch, etc.
Be sure to set out plenty of bowls with suitable pirate munchies. Things like the Goldfish crackers, as well as sour worms and gummy fish are great options to serve.
Your local bakeries will surely have several options from which to select for cakes made into the shape of a pirate ship. However, if you are looking to save a little bit of money, you could go ahead and tackle this project yourself, or perhaps enlist a good friend to assist. Start by downloading a picture of a ship to use as your guide. Then cut a sheet cake into the appropriate shape. Once this has been accomplished, all you will need to do is cover it in frosting and add the cake decorations. Things like edible glitter, sprinkles, candies, beads, etc. are all yummy choices. Be sure to top it off with a few plastic pirates and mini Jolly Roger flags. Ultimately, this could save you a lot of money as long as you don't go too crazy with the toppings.
PIRATE PARTY IDEAS FOR GAMES & ACTIVITIES
Keeping your guests amused is an absolute must if you want your shindig to be a success. To keep your guests in the proper frame of mind, you might encourage them all to speak as much pirate as much as possible during the party.
Another idea would be to show a portion of one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. If you are looking to settle a younger crowd down a bit, nothing does it quicker than sitting them down to watch a movie.
Another fun idea that would burn off some energy, along with using up a good chunk of time would be a scavenger hunt. You might also want to set up a board for the "bad" pirates to walk the plank. Also, think of all the classic kid games that you can give a pirate twist. For example, Pin the Parrot on the Pirate instead of Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Instead of Simon Says, make it Pirate Says.
A scavenger hunt is always an enjoyable party option. In addition, you could have some video games available, as well as a plank for your "bad" little pirates to walk.
If you want to encourage a little dancing, be sure to play some Caribbean type of music in the background. You might also make a contest out of the dancing and award prizes for the best moves.
Once the celebration has ended, be sure to give all your guests a little memento to remember the good times. A small themed gift bag filled with some fun booty will provide all of your guests with a memorable treat.
