Pirate Birthday Party - Here are some
great ideas for your Pirate Party!
|
Pirate birthday party invitation
|
| In the Pirate Adventure treasure hunt, a pirate party
invitation is included. If you want to make an invitation
yourself, you could make one in the form of an old treasure
map. Make the paper look old by dabbing it with a tea
bag and carefully burn the edges. Draw a treasure map
and write the invitation by hand in thick black pen. Roll
it up and tie it with a bit of string and you're all set.
Ahoy Matey! |

Pirate birthday party costumes/fancy
dress
|
| Having a pirate party is popular since it is so easy
to buy or make pirate outfits. Making a pirate costume
with what you have at home can also be fun! To look like
a real pirate, all you need is a baggy white shirt (an
old one of Mom/Dad's), a pair of black trousers or tights
and shorts. A vest also works well. A bandana tied on
the head, eye patch and a gold hoop earring are key accessories
- and don't forget the pirate hat! A hook instead of a
hand can be made with construction paper and aluminium
foil. Cover a clenched fist with foil, make a hook out
of cardboard and cover it with foil then attach the two
pieces with hot glue or a stapler. A parrot on the shoulder
and a sword at the hip will complete the pirate look!

Pirate birthday party decorations
|
You can buy a lot of party material for a pirate-themed
celebration, from table cloths to dishes and costumes.
However, you can also easily create a pirate ship atmosphere
without having to buy everything. For example, make the
colour scheme black and white, make a pirate hat out of
old newspapers or decorate with black and white balloons.
Check your cupboard for wrapping paper which works really
well as a disposable tablecloth or for cutting out placemats
for each plate.

Pirate birthday party menu ideas
|
| What kinds of food do pirates eat? Meat and vegetables
skewered on their swords? Exotic fruits from faraway places?
Below are a few suggestions to help create the perfect
pirate party food, drinks, cake, decorations and costumes. |
| Swashbuckling skewers |
Put a few meatballs or chopped up sausages/hot dogs
on a wooden skewer and add pieces of red/yellow pepper
and pineapple. Serve with tortilla bread, Tex-Mex salsa,
mango chutney, sweetcorn and cocktail tomatoes. The skewers
are delicious hot or cold. If you are having your pirate
party outside, serve the skewers in a cup (you could cut
the skewer in half to fit it in better). Each child gets
a cup and should sit down to eat their skewers.
Tip! If you are worried about little ones and the sharp
end of the skewer, simply cut it off to a blunt end when
you're finished piercing the meat and vegetables. |
|
|
| Exotic pirate punch |
| Make pirate punch with exotic fruit and inspiration
from the Caribbean islands (kiwi, melon, pineapple, banana,
passion fruit, mango etc.) Mix together exotic juice,
fizzy fruit juice and bits of fruit in a large bowl. Add
ice before serving. Serve with colourful straws and a
wooden skewer cut to size with a pirate flag (see decorations).
|
| Pirate birthday party cake |
| Make a yummy cake with a sponge bottom and your child's
favourite filling. Cover it with black marzipan. Cut out
a jolly roger (skull and crossbones) in marzipan or draw
it with white icing. Decorate with candy skulls or ready-made
pirate decorations. If you don't want to do a cake, a
banana split is sure to go down well with the little pirates!
Just decorate it with candy skulls! |
