Pirate Birthday Party - Here are some great
ideas for your Pirate Party! |
Pirat party food |
Arrr! Shiver me timbers! How can anyone resist a pirate party,
complete with a pirates game and fun pirate names for all the
guests? And of course everyone loves pirate food, such as pirate
cake, and refreshing pirate drinks after a fun but exhausting
pirates game.
When your guests arrive, supply colorful markers and name
tag stickers for their pirate names. Guests can choose their
own pirate names or you can provide a selection of pirate
names for them to pick from to save time. Pirate names could
include simple classics like Blackbeard, or find unique pirate
names by searching the internet for authentic pirate names,
or even use a website that generates pirate names by using
your guests' own names. Once your guests are wearing their
name tags with their pirate names, all guests should remember
to address each other by their pirate names for the duration
of the party.
Hosting outdoors not only offers more options for the pirates
game, but also allows for easy cleanup when pirate food and
pirate drinks are inevitably spilled. Be sure to have plenty
of ice on hand to keep pirate drinks cold. When kids are lost
in a pirates game, be sure to keep them hydrated with pirate
drinks, and don't forget the sunscreen!
After the pirates game is over, all the pirate food is consumed
and the pirate drinks have run dry, remember the party favors!
Favors could include extra pirate food, a fun pirates game
they can play at home and of course a cool eye patch! Between
the silly pirates game and yummy pirate food, you can't take
things to seriously, just remember to relax and have fun,
after all it's a party!

Start planning your pirate food menu with the pièce
de résistance, a pirate cake! It's easier to pull off
than you think, simply turn any white cake mix into a fun
pirate cake using frosting. Frost with store-bought white
frosting or homemade buttercream, then add a classic skull
and crossbones with black icing. Or, turn your pirate cake
into pirate cupcakes! Pirate cake is even more fun for kids
in individual wrappers, everyone gets their own mini pirate
cake! Follow the cupcake directions on your pirate cake mix,
frost with buttercream and let guests write their pirate names
on their individual pirate cake using black icing.
Proper pirate food starts with a treasure chest, found online
or locally at party supply stores, filled with gold wrapped
candy coins. Or, if everyone's had enough sugar from the pirate
cake and pirate drinks, fill it with popcorn. Other pirate
food could include tropical fruit or chicken drumsticks.

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! |

Tropical pirate drinks to wash down all the delicious pirate
food are a must! Pirate drinks could include coconut milk,
or a simple fruit punch made with pineapple juice and ginger
ale, garnished with orange slices. Pirate drinks could even
be piña coladas, just make them virgin for the kids!
Don't forget to add stickers to the cups for your pirate drinks
so guests can write their pirate names on them!
While your pirate food, including the pirate cake and pirate
drinks, will thrill and delight, no pirate themed party would
be complete without the pirates game. The pirates game could
be simple, unstructured fun with soft plastic swords, playing
dress-up or simply helping decorate the pirate cake (It's
always fun to help make the pirate food!)
If weather permits, consider hosting your party outdoors.
A fun outdoor pirates game could include digging for buried
treasure in a sandbox, or for a summer pirates game, kids
could walk the plank into a kiddie pool!

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! Cool pirate cakes can also be found on FiraFest.se |
