HOW TO DECORATE FOR YOUR HALLOWEEN PIRATE PARTY  USING
OUR DECORATION KIT 

 

So you have the general idea of hosting an adult pirate party, but need a little guidance to bring it all together? Maybe you are a little short on ideas?

 

Well let’s start with you’re:

INVITATIONS: You can design your own! You can make a treasure chest, a treasure map, pirates ship or pirates hat. Use sea-shells or small pirate flags  to decorate or just make the invitations look weathered by staining with coffee or tea or burning the edges. Pirate “Lingo” is a must on your invitations. “Ahoy Matey, we havin a party” (Remember pirates were not the best spellers). Inform your guest to dress up as pirates and wenches (If they don’t, make them “Walk the Plank”)

 

 

DECORATIONS: Transform your home into a deserted beach with buried treasures or Pirate’s Island Hideaway. (Use blue sky and ocean backdrops from our Decoration kit)Decorate using Pirate Party balloons, fishnets, jumbo shells,, parrots, a jumbo pirate ship, and dueling pirate/bandits. Add smaller pirate ships to your ocean wall, tropical island props, and cannon ball explosions  to get this effect, if you have a wooden barrel add this to you room, anchors, a giant size skeleton or two and a treasure chest overflowing with booty of  jewels and gems. Use hibiscus or other tropical flowers and greenery and hang from the netting. (Imagine what a great backdrop this will make for your photos).

 

Use our Decorative Pirate Signs to label your entrances. Place “Beware of Pirates” at your front entrance. “Davey Jones Locker” at the bathroom entrance. “No Land Lovers Allowed” at your kitchen entrance; and so on.(Only these are RENTALS ONLY)

 

GRUB IN THE GALLEY: On your buffet table use one of our Pirate Theme Centerpieces to add flair Decorate with our Pirate Ship or Parrot with Crossbones flag . These can also be used for your guest table centerpieces. Serve fresh fruits in large wooden bowls and lots of sea foods. Make fruit-punch (For non-drinkers) and mix a lot of rum cocktails (Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum). Use tin-mugs for the drinks. You can label your foods for fun “Dead Men’s Fingers”  “Cannon Balls” “Parrots Wings”

 

ACTIVITIES: “Walk the Plank” sign can be place wherever you are going to play this game. Play “Adult Treasure Quest” (Stain your treasure maps and write clues on parchment paper and hide them around) or “Spin the Bottle” .Give prizes to the sexiest wench costume. Make it adult prizes such as edible oils and cream. (Oh la-la)

 

FAVORS: At the end of the night, give each guest a “Bar of Gold”. This could be a candy bar wrapped in gold foil or a golden box (in the shape of bar of gold) full of “naughty” goodies.

 

You can adjust these ideas to suit your circumstances, making it uniquely yours; but remember you are the Captain and the party is your ship! Make sure you keep enthusiasms high! Let your Pirate Party be the talk of the town!

·                     Go with a devilishish decadent dessert like “Chocolate Soufflé”

·                     Make Drinks like “Velvet Elvis”, “White Sangria”, and “Raspberry Mojito” or use “James Bond Vesper Martini” (3 measure of Gin, 1 measure of Vodka, ½ measure of Dry Vermouth-Shake well until ice cold and serve in a champagne goblet or martini glass with a thin slice of lemon peel.) Make this your signature drink!

 

ACTITITIES:

·                     Give a mini playing card to each guest (You can make it like a name tag) and challenge guest to present themselves in a group to show a winning poker hand for a prize.

·                     At midnight get everyone together to countdown to the New Year. Welcome 2010 with a bang!
