A Pirate themed birthday party!!

When my son turned 8 we had a pirate party for him. It was really fun so I wanted to blog about what we did incase someone else might find it fun too!  



First I ordered invitations like this-  these ones are from www.birthdayinabox.com & they are just a sample- not our actual invites. I had so many people comment how fun it was to get these in the mail!  
Pirate Invitation in a Bottle





The day of the party I put up a pirate banner and a beware of pirates sign


Then I put together the pirate food...


Next was the pirate menu-The Yo Ho Ho Chicken were chicken fingers, Goldfish were obviously goldfish, Shark Blood- Hawaiian punch


 Pirate Swords- kabobs with pineapple, grape large marshmallows & strawberries


Pirate Peg Legs- carrot sticks, Ahoy Matey Fish Sticks, Shrimp "Me Harteys"


I had a very happy little Pirate Birthday Boy!!!

 I found some fun balloons

And made Pirate cupcakes!


For a fun pirate game I made up a treasure map of our house and backyard and made up 8 clues. Each clue gave them the clue to the next spot where another clue was waiting. The last clue led them to a treasure chest with all the goodie bags.

It was a super fun party & my son and his friends had a fun time! It's hard to believe that it has been 2 years since that party. My how time flies!!

Have you done a theme party that turned out really fun? Thanks again for stopping by today!!
