A pirate party is a well loved party theme with lots of fun ways to decorate!
Incorporate gold coins, pirate hats, treasure chests and maps to give the kids a real pirate party feel! Black and red are common colours for this theme – which you could mix in with some blue, or gold.
I hope you enjoy the selection of Pirate party supplies in this blog post – mostly taken from vendors in the Life’s Little Celebration’s party directory. This is just a sample and you can find even more from browsing the vendors on the Directory when planning this pirate party!
