Grown Up Pirate Party Ideas

Yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum is the cry of the pirates. Of
course, rum is not what you want to serve at your child’s pirate
party but what about a pirate party for adults? Try using these
pirate party ideas for pirate decorations, games and party
favors.

Though pirate parties are popular birthday party themes, there’s
no reason your pirate party couldn’t be held any time, for any
reason!

Party Ideas

First of all, consider the great decorations you can use for
this pirate fest. Pinatas in the shape of tropical birds would
make great party decorations as well as serve as a game later in
the evening. You can fill your piata with chocolate gold coins
or perhaps a few more expensive treasures to encourage guests to
get into the action. Plastic swords might be used not only for
party props but also for the piata game. Have a few eye patches
ready for those who were too shy to wear a costume but then want
to get into the fun once they arrive.

Decorating for a pirate party can also involve treasure chests,
buckets overflowing with iced beverages, palm fronds across door
frames and tables covered in bright tropical colors or even the
pirate flag of skull and cross bones. Food ideas can be roasted
turkey legs, beverages served in frosty mugs, and fruit-filled
watermelon boats. Having some sea going songs playing in the
background along with sounds of Jimmy Buffet are other ideas for
carrying out your theme.

Use good judgment about serving alcohol and recruit a few
pirates or feisty “wenches” to serve as designated drivers if
the need arises. When the party ends, you want to be 100%
certain that everyone sails safely home.
