Pirate Costume Party Ideas
Shiver me timbers! So you want to host a pirate costume party? We'll share our favorite tips and tricks to help your party go off without a hitch. Fix a pirate feast fit for a captain, wear the best pirate costumes, have plenty of pirate activities planned, and even send your guests home with their own booty. This will be the stuff of legend!
Pirate Games and Activities
Is there anything more piratey than organizing a treasure hunt? Remember the age of your attendees, as you can have treasure hunts for all ages! What about making it a pirate pool party? Get ready for lots of nautical-themed nonsense! You can also find several pirate-themed board games, from Dead Men Tell No Tales and Jamaica to lighter fare like Loot and Pirate Fluxx. Then we have the best event for all ages—a pirate costume contest! Make sure to add some extra-silly prize categories, such as the best pirate actor and best accent.
Pirate Movies
Turn your pirate party into a pirate watch party by watching a pirate movie or two! The famous Pirates of the Caribbean movies are fan favorites, and kids will love Treasure Planet or Muppet Treasure Island. It's easy to find a fun pirate movie for partygoers of any age. Popcorn is also a must for any movie, but you can make it fit the pirate theme by mixing in a few goldfish crackers!
Pirate Decorations
Pirate costumes and activities are easy to come by when having a pirate party. But how does one decorate for a pirate party? You can't exactly have a whole decorated galleon like they do at the Gasparilla pirate festival, but you can add some pirate flair to your tables. Get some weathered maps, parchments, a spyglass, and a few seashells, and who could say no to a treasure chest? Having a bunch of chocolate coins on hand and a skeleton or two with a pirate hat will make your setup feel complete!
Pirate Food and Drink
This one will depend greatly on the ages of your pirate party attendees. If you're catering for kids, octopus hot dogs and apple slice pirate ships are great ideas! However, some adults might be expecting run or other pirate-themed cocktails. Perhaps a long island iced tea or a tropical punch! We encourage you to play with your food and beverage to make the perfect pirate party!
Pirate Party Favors
It's a lot of fun to send guests with a small goody bag to take home. Chocolate coins in a little bag or pouch are an easy way to create a pirate-themed party favor. However, you don't have to stop there! Add little seashells or some eye patches, and cocktail swords are great too! Just remember the age of your attendees to help guide you when picking pirate-themed party favors.
