Pirate Theme Birthday Party

ByChris Posted on
I created this AWESOME Pirate Party for my sons 8th birthday and the kids had a blast. Every pirate decoration and detail was perfect. Check out this pirate themed tablescape, dessert table, and more here.
This weekend we celebrated my son’s 8th birthday with a Pirate Party! The crazy thing is that I’ve been so busy creating parties for others these past couple of months, I literally had nothing for this party except the plates & a few miscellaneous items. I know, mother of the year here.
Thankfully my pirate party supplies were ordered, shipped, and arrived in time. AND my friend Amanda of Shindig helped me out by sending me her pirate printables and her fabric bunting! She was truly the party planner’s party fairy last week.
You may remember Amanda from her incredible Enchanted Fairy party, but now she also has an Etsy shop with printables for your own parties!
Now, here’s the Pirate Party for my own little Skallywag.
The good thing about designing a pirate party in late September is that there are lots of cool things out for Halloween that I could use.
As for the snack table, I wanted it to have the feel of old crates on a pirate ship that had been pried open.  I was happy with the look but the printables added a much needed pop of color among the neutral boxes.
What do you know, I turned out to be mother of the year after all!

  1. Hey! I LOVE EVERYTHING! im thtowing my son a pirate birthday party in march i wanted to know where did you find all the stuff for the centerpieces(treasure chest, skull head goblets ect.)!

  3. Hi I was wondering what u used to cover the chairs at the table? Did it cover the whole chair or was it just draped over the back of it?

    1. Marisa, that’s what you call strategic folding and pinning. LOL I used sheets {cut to size} and draped it so it covered the back of the chair but not the seat of the chair. Pinned from the underside so it doesn’t show.

  4. Everything looks GREAT!! My daughter wants a Pink Pirate party for her 7th birthday and I was wondering where did you get the black tote bags? did they come with the skull?

    Thanks for sharing!!

    1. Hi Bianca,
      Those were actually from the Halloween store – great timing for my party in late September.
      You may be able to find something similar in pink through Google search(?)
      OR, buy a plain tote bag and DIY it with iron-on “bling” transfers from the craft store – I’ve seen ones with skulls!

  30. I KNEW you'd pull it off — FANTASTIC! And you were worried you hadn't worked on it enough! That's the thing, Chris — you are a super-talented, professional party planner — there was never any doubt it in my mind that it would be awesome. So glad I could help out, and so glad the boys (and girl!) had fun!! Thanks for the shout out!
