Party Recap

Yo Ho! Let's Go! It's a pirate party to celebrate Carter's 6th birthday and Clayton's 4th birthday. I chose the pirate theme for my sons' birthday party because I knew it would be a great theme that would be fun for both boys and girls and it turned out great! It was so much fun to plan and there are tons of pirate party ideas out there. The party was held at our local park and all the pirates, both big and small, had such a great time. Since, no pirate party is complete without a pirate ship, my husband built a ship out of scrap lumber we already had on hand. It's was a big hit with the kids. I also handed out swords, bandanas, eye patches, and beads so the kids really got into pirate character. The party was held at lunchtime so we served Pirate Dogs (hot dogs), Catch of the Day (whale crackers), Pirate Island Fruit (fruit kabobs), Blocks of Gold (cheese cubes), Marshmallow Mateys, Chips, Cupcakes, & Pirate Punch. I made all of the decorations myself using various ideas I found online and a lot that I came up with on my own. I was very pleased with the how the party turned out and most of all, all the kids and even the adults loved it. It was a lot of planning and a lot of work, but it was worth it to see everyone have such a great time!

    I made all of the labels using Microsoft Excel. I'm almost certain I still have them saved. Send your email address to [email protected] and I will send you some templates to use.

    Thank you so much Shannon! I went through all of the files on my computer and I wasn't able to find the templates. However, they were super easy to create using Microsoft Excel and clip art that I found online for free. Basically just add color to the cells and insert the clip art. Give it a shot and let me know if you need any help at all.
