The pirates are coming!
So, May 9 is DD7’s 8th birthday and we’re just having family drop in for cupcakes in the afternoon because it’s a school day. On the Saturday, she is having a pirate party and is inviting some of her friends.
I’ve been buying stuff for this party for a few months now and have a huge plastic tub full of goody bag items, decorations and STUFF!
Above: some of the goody bag items, DD7’s goblet, napkins and little flags (which I’m going to use as part of the table decorations).
We’re holding the party at home in the backyard (so please pray for good weather!). We’re putting up the big gazebo and setting a large table for all the guests – there’s 10 kids all up.
Above: DD7’s costume, tattoos, bunting, a “pin the pirate on the island” game and a pirate “pull down” pinata (I think the traditional pinatas are dangerous. We’ve had a few accidents with kids getting a little too enthusiastic with the pinata blaster! lol)
If I get a chance, I’m going to get some sand delivered so we can create an island. I have a small treasure chest – like box that I can place slightly buried in the sand.
We’re going to have a treasure hunt, and I still need to search for some more pirate-themed games.
For food, it’s just going to be normal party food on request by DD7 – party pies, sausage rolls, fairy bread, marshmallows, chips, lollies, etc
Oh, and the invitations are “messages in bottles”:
