read our pirate party
ideas:
the summons
Make your
own treasure map invitation with your house marked with a cross,
then stain it with a tea bag and leave it to dry. Roll the
invite into a scroll and tie up with red ribbon before
you hand these out. A simple piece of black card with silver pen
writing is very eye
catching.

quick and easy pirate party
decorations
Decide on your theme, will it be a tropical island
or a galleon ship setting? A ship setting can be created
using barrels and old rope as decor. Bunting
strung from each corner of the room about mid way up and
meeting on the ceiling in the middle will give a ship rigging
effect. But by far the easiest pirate decoration is the
tropical island.The tropical island can incorporate tropical
jungle decorations and a seaside theme so gives you lots more
scope for your
decorating.

To create a
jungle back drop, card scene setters are
perfect but green garlands are also very
effective see our jungle
tips >> for more ideas. Blue organza is perfect for the
sea, for example drape it over your curtain rail and pin fish
decorations and swirly blue garlands over it for your ocean back
drop. Lots of yellow paper garlands scattered on the floor are
perfect for sand. All these items can be found in
our
pirate party decorations

Party balloons are a wonderful
way of decorating a room. Mix up a
selection of plain blue balloons with pirate print and
shaped balloons. Use ribbon to tie these onto
the backs of chairs and let a few hang
free from the ceiling to fill the blank
spaces. Create
balloon archways, clusters and columns to fill the party venue
corners.

pirate party food
ideas
1. serve catch of the
day
Pirates love seafood so why don't you serve fish & chips
for your party tea. A home made and healthier option could be oven
chips and fish fingers. Place them into a pirate food tray to serve
hot.
2. themed party food
Label ordinary party food as pirate
themes. For example Golden scampi and fish nuggets can be
labeled 'gold', sandwich quarters propped
onto their sides 'galleon sails', round cheesy garlic
bread or small cheesy pizzas 'tropical islands', sausages on sticks with tomato sauce 'captain hooks
fingers', Cheese and pineapple 'tropical pirate kebabs', corn
chips 'shark fins', meatballs 'cannon balls'.
3. buried treasure jelly pudding
Green jelly, chocolate ice cream, jelly
worms, meringue bones and chocolate coins at the
bottom.
4. green sea ships
Place stuffed potato skins on top of a sea of
Guacamole. Wrap white labels around cocktail sticks and cut into
sail shapes for mini sails.
5. sea broth party drink
lemonade with blue food colouring
|
6. pirate party cakes
 |
These
impressive pirate birthday cakes are easy to make
using a cake kit and just require some simple baking and cake
decoration. Alternatively, you could bake a plain cake and use a
cake topper decoration like our wooden pirate to decorate.
Why not create a cupcake tower. Select a
tiered cake stand and pile it high with cupcakes in pirate cupcake
cases. All these products can be found in our birthday cake
ranges.

7. pirate
party table decoration
Gold cutlery, red spotty bowls, chocolate
money with a few palm tree table centres will dress up any party
table. Add some shells and you have the perfect tropical
feast. Pirate themed serving bowls and platters are also a fun way
to accessorise and decorate your theme. Arrange savoury treats and
cupcakes on red, blue or black tiered cake stands or
give them their own galleon to fill with their own party
food.

garden. This solid timber ship will give years of imaginative play

5. peg leg hopping game
A twist on the
traditional musical statues. When the music stops the children have
to balance on one leg. To make this even harder use party
islands, a great twist on musical chairs,- not only do the
children have to race to find ever depleting islands
but when the music stops they also have to balance on one
leg.

6. flapping fish
A practical parenting party game idea. Before
the party, cut out a large fish shape from lightweight paper
for each party guest. At the party lay the fish in a row. Each
child has to fan their fish across the room to a finishing
line.

7. captain commands memory game
When the music stops
the captain (you) shouts a command to the children as to which part
of the room they should run to. Port (left), Starboard (right), Bow
(front), Stern (back). Of course these are the official nautical
terms for the sides of a ship and are very hard to remember- enter
fun and confusion!. This is fast and tricky and therefore
best for older children.
|
|
8. battle
ships
Create two teams,
name each 'crew' aptly and set them an obstacle course to
race for their treasure. Use various sports day style games such as
sack race, tug o war, under the net, limbo etc

pirate party bag
Every little scally
wag needs to go home with a bag full of booty. A treasure
chest party box or gift cup is a fun alternative to party bags
and can be filled with anything with skull and
crossbone design: stationary, chocolates, jewels, bubbles and
stretchy skeletons. A shaped foil balloon tied to a bag of
chocolate money is another creative alternative to the traditional
party bag. We also have pre-filled themed party bags to save you
time and money.

guests to come dressed up - very easy to do- ask them to wear
stripey t-shirts and shorts with a bandana. pirate fancy
