Time surely flies when you're having fun. Little Tobe turned three in January, and he loves Jake and the Neverland Pirates, so when his birthday mercilessly snuck up on me, I just had to throw him a Pirate Party.It might seem like an intimidating task, but pulling together pirate décor and playthings is not only easy, but great fun. I grabbed a few goodies from the shop, added some other pirate themed pieces and voilà: I made my little man’s day! Check out my blog for all the elements.
Want to throw a Pirate Party for your own child or child at heart? Here’s what you need:
Vintage suitcase – this makes a great treasure chest snack tray.
Cupcake holder – there's no party without food, so be sure to fill this three-tier server with the desert of your choice and decorate with beaded necklaces. We have a variety of these in our shop in metal and wood.
Beaded necklaces – get them in black, white, gold and silver and add them to your treasure chest.
Gold deblumes – you could also use chocolate coins, but not if you actually like chocolate.
Treasure chest favor boxes – they're cute and easy to put together and stuff with pirate booty for your guests to take home.
Black and white stripe table runner – fancy and disposable, this runner really completes the look of both your dining and serving tables, and (bonus!) you can even use it to wrap your gifts.
Pirate dining set – paper pirate plates and napkins will complete the look and make for a fast, easy cleanup.
Pirate tattoos – in my case, I used Jake and the Neverland Pirates temporary tattoos, but you can get really creative with these, especially if you're throwing an adult party.
Red knit fabric – unless you want to buy individual bandanas, you can custom cut this to size and make a bunch of pirate headbands for all your small, medium and large guests.
Take all the above, throw in a well-placed “Arrrrgggghhh, Matey!” and have an err-mazing Pirate Party!
