A Pirate Birthday Party NJ Style

By Freida Michael


An important day is coming up and your child wants to have the best event ever to celebrate. He really wants to have a pirate birthday party NJ style and you are going to do everything in your power to plan one for him. You want it to be a spectacular and memorable Middleton, NJ, event that he will remember fondly for years.

You are a little unsure of exactly how to begin as there is much to consider. The door prizes, decorations, games, goody bags, crafts, and food are all on your to-do list. You find this theme so unique and challenging to prepare for and cannot wait to begin your quest for just the right items.

The invitations should be your very first consideration. Ready-made designs are always in good taste but you can also make your own. This does take time, creativity, and extra funds for materials and postage. Choose or make the best ones that fit your youngster's age or interests. A ship or map motif is always interesting. A aged map could be the main design with directions to your house.

Choose a costume for the guest of honor to wear as he greets his guests at the door. This should definitely reflect the party theme. Breeches, an eye patch, a hat, a hook for his arm, and even a stuffed parrot would complete the outfit. Encourage guests to wear their own versions of this type of apparel.

Your biggest and most exciting challenge will be decorating for this once-in-a-lifetime event. The end result will depend on the indoor and outdoor space you have at your disposal, your budget, and the creativity you can conjure. Ask other parents who have held similar events to assist you with suggestions and props. You can make pirate ships for centerpieces and fill them with tiny treasures include candy, trinkets or foil-wrapped chocolate. Add mini-rolled treasure maps, small anchors, flags, and other items around the base to add more interest and impact.

The games you arrange for the guests could include a fun treasure hunt where each participant or team is given a map to hidden treasures. The clues will lead them to the fantastic prizes that you have selected just for them. For crafting, have them assemble hats from colorful paper or captain's hooks from large plastic cups and aluminum foil. A parrot pinata would make a great finale.

Have the cake made to resemble a filled treasure chest or ship. You can also make cupcakes with skull and cross-bone, anchor, or ship designs on them. For a healthy slant, cut and shape a watermelon into a boat. Add a mast and sail and fill with fresh fruit such as strawberries, grapes, watermelon, and cantaloupe. Fashion goody bags and fill with tiny pirates, chocolate coins, and more. Or give each guest a miniature treasure chest filled with candy and tiny toys.

Take several photos of the event as it progresses. This will give family and friends memories for years to come. After handling this affair, you will be well-equipped and well-trained to take on similar parties for your other children.
