In this article you will find: Pirates of the Caribbean 4 movie theme party tips including the invitations, decorating tips, party activities and games, food suggestions, and birthday cake ideas. With the release of the Pirates of the Caribbean 4 movie, On Stranger Tides, this will be a popular party theme for this summer and fall. A pirate party is fun for kids, teens, or even adults. The pirate theme can be used for a birthday, summer party, or costume party.
Pirate Party Invitations
Invite your guest to wear a pirate costume. No need to buy anything, just something homemade. Old jeans and a torn t-shirt would work. Let guest know that you will supply pirate eye patches, hats, and bandanas as favors for each guest.
Teamson Toy Chest
*Fun idea: Place invitations in a small bottle with a little sand and hand deliver.
Decorating Tips for Outside Party
The pirate theme is fun for summer since it is a great outside party. Here are some ideas:
1. Decorate your deck with balloons, pirate cutouts, and a treasure chest pinata. Set around real or fake plants to resemble a jungle. Some fun props could be plastic swords and toy parrots.
2. If you have a pool, this is the perfect place for fun activities. Decorate pool floats as small pirate ships.
3. A tree house is also the perfect outside pirate party setting. Imagine the possibilities! You can make a fun Pirate Hide-a-Way.
Room Decorating Tips
Decorate with lots of balloons, pirate cutouts, and Pirates of the Caribbean movie posters. The posters can be framed and used as a gift and/or to decorate your child's room.
Table Decorating Tips
Themed paper goods (plates, napkins, cups, tablecover) are an easy way to decorate your party table. Toss some plastic gold coins around on the table. Tie balloons to the chairs. Your Pirates of the Caribbean birthday cake can be your centerpiece. No need to spend a lot of money.
Party Activities and Games
A pirate theme party can have fun activities. Here are a few ideas:
1, Dress up and pretend play. Just let the kids use their own imagination!
2. Swab the Deck Race: Supply some mops and balloons. The object is to see which team can mop up the most balloons.
3. Pirate Ship Contest: Provide floats (if this is a pool party) or several cardboard ships, and have teams decorate their pirate ship. Be sure to have prizes for everyone, using different catagories. If these are older kids, you could even have the teams make their own ship.
4. Pin the Eye Patch on the Pirate: you can find this game at local party stores or Amazon.com
5. Movie Marathon: Show all of the Pirates of Caribbean movies. Serve popcorn and candy, just like at the movies.
6. Treasure Hunt: Use a treasure chest pinata or toy chest. Hide the chest and give guest (as a group) a treasure map with clues to find the chest (X marks the spot!). After discovering the chest, guest can then break It open for the treasure!
Party Food Suggestions
What do pirates like to eat? Fish & Chips, of course! If you're having the party outside, a cookout would be ideal. Grilled chicken kabobs (swords) would be fun, or anything you like on a grill. Other ideas would be sub sandwiches, hot wings, chips, fruit tray, and goldfish crackers.
I saw a really cute idea recently. Skull and Crossbones cookie cutters! If you have the time to make cookies, these would be a hit at your party. I saw these on Amazon.com.
The Birthday Cake
If you would like to make your own cake, there are several pirate theme cake toppers available, including Pirates of the Caribbean since this is a recent movie. There are also pirate ship cake toppers and cake molds. You can usually purchase these in craft stores or grocery stores. If you don't want to make your own, you can order a pre-made birthday cake at your local bakery or grocery. Be sure to order your cake early.
Summary
A Pirate theme party will be perfect to celebrate the new movie, Pirates of the Caribbean 4! You can choose to have this party inside or outside, play a variety of games or have a movie marathon. Serve food with a pirate theme, like fish & chips or chicken kabobs. Your cake can be the hit of the party with a pirate ship cake topper! I hope your party will be a great success!
