Party Recap

Pirate party in the backyard. It was a hot summer day so we had it in the evening and had some water games planned to cool down our guests. All the kiddos loved arriving for pirate patches and bandana hats. I designed all of the designs for the food labels, invitation, pirate ship, and door signs. I even made the banners from crumpled paper sacks and singed the edges for a pirate feel. For all printables visit https://www.etsy.com/listing/110934700/printable-pirate-party-package
