Fun Pirate Party Ideas - Invitations Yo Ho A Pirate's Treasure Map Your party guests will really get into your Pirate theme whenyou send them an invitation that looks like an old PirateTreasure map... Cut a brown paper bag into a square. Then, with a black marker write something like"Captain__________'s (insert your child's name)treasure map"... "Ye be invited to a swash-buckling good time matey... (then givethe party date, time, length of the party and any other details)then close the invitation by saying something like... "If you dare, you'll be findin the party by followin this heretreasure map... And remember this me buckos... "X" marks thespot!" The map is actually directions to your party location and the"X" is the actual party address... Then crumble up the paper so your map looks old and mail it toyour guest... You can even be creative with the envelope. Fun Pirate Party Ideas - Treasure Map Have some fun with your Pirate Party Invitation buy constructinganother treasure map for a real treasure hidden somewhere atyour party location. Cut this map up into puzzle pieces (one for each child you'reinviting).

When your guests arrive, have them put their puzzle piecestogether, then they can all hunt for the treasure you'vehidden... Make sure you keep a copy of the map in case one of your guestsdoesn't show up. For treasure, put some chocolate coins (always a big hit withour kids) in a box and hid them somewhere for your guests tofind together with their map. Fun
Kid Pirate Costume Your child will love wearing a special pirate costumeat their party. *A Tip From Grandpa Mike When I was a boy, one of my favorite Halloween costumes was apirate costume. You can find a head bandanna at your local thrift store, acolorful old shirt and grey stripped pants. Cut the shirt sleeves to 3/4 length and fray the edge of thesleeves so they look worn... Cut the pant legs to 3/4 length andfray the edges so they look worn and "ship wrecked". You can make an eye patch out of a small piece of black cardstock or black cloth... Attach a black string or shoe lace tothe eye patch and tie it around your child's head. A wide black belt with a large buckle (you can make a buckle)can be cut to fit around your child's waist. Fun Pirate Make-Up You can complete your child's pirate look by putting blacksmudges on their face with an eyebrow pencil. Smear it around tolook like a beard on a rough pirate face.
