Avast Ye! It is a happy coincidence that today is the day I will begin to post about the Pirate Party I am planning. Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19th), so it does seem fitting.

This year my baby brother is turning 16 (Shiver me Timbers!) so to celebrate he is getting a manly Pirate Themed Sweet 16 Party (don’t let him know I called it Sweet 16 or I’ll be keel hauled!) On the plus side, the party is in October, so we are reusing all of the fantastic decorations as our Halloween decorations! An sometime in the future I would like to have a Pirates Versus Ninjas Party.

I think a pirate theme party works in most any situation…

• Pirate Halloween Party
• Pirate Birthday Party
• Celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day
• Pirate Theme Company Picnic
• Pirate Bar/Bat Mitzvah
• Pirate Themed Graduation Party
• Pirate Pool Party
• Pirate Themed Wedding
• Random Pirate Theme Party (or Pirates vs Ninjas)

And the list can go on and on. If it’s a gathering, stick the word pirate in front of it, and NOW you have a party! So how do you go about planning you pirate party? As I work on my pirate party over the next few weeks I will be posting helpful pirate how to’s. Here is my list of things to do…

How to Plan a Pirate Theme Party:

1. The Pirate Party Invitation
2. Pirate Party Decorations
3. Making a Pirate Flag
4. Build a Pirate Treasure Chest
5. Your Pirate Costume
6. The Pirate Party Menu
7. Pirate Cupcakes
8. Pirate “Rum” Bottle Labels
9. Pirate Party Music

As I finish posting about each task I will link back here to this list. So check back for more pirat-y goodness!
