Everyone has heard of pirate parties for boys, but what about girls? Yes, girls can have a pirate party too, in PINK! Here is some inspiration for your perfectly pink pirate soiree.

For the invites, just buy removable bottom bottles at your local craft store or online and print the invite and a treasure style map to the party location. Roll the invite and map up and insert into the bottle – it’s that easy. The invites were hand delivered so there were no postal worries. If you need to mail the invites, check with the postal service for their regulations. The ribbon around the bottle neck gave an extra touch of pink. The hats were assembled ahead of time, but they could be a party activity as well. The pirate panda (along with other stuffed animals) played a role in a treasure hunt game, as well as being a darn cute greeter for the party.
What would a pirate party be without loot? This party had plenty. Digging for gold coins in sand and going on a treasure hunt that ended in a treasure chest full of candy and jewelry were part of the party games. The party favor was a pink bucket loaded with Pirate Booty snacks, pirate wood art projects, candy, tattoos and coins.

Then there was the food. This was a dessert only party. There were water bottles relabeled as sea brine, pink tissue wrapped lollipops and pink marshmallow pops. Hershey Nuggets chocolate candy in gold and silver, which look just like gold and silver bars in their wrappers, are perfect for a pirate dessert buffet.

A watermelon was carved into a pirate ship and pink and black flags were added to complete the look. The fruit itself was done with a melon-baller and labeled as cannonballs and served inside the pirate ship and with neon pink sword picks. To accommodate the non-chocolate lovers, pink-iced vanilla cupcakes were served decorated with pirate flags. There were also pirate grog (lemonade), pretzel “planks” (long pretzel rods) and “telescopes.” (Oreo FunStix straws) The cake was a treasure chest, filled with pirate coins and candy jewelry.

The table decor was created with black table sheeting with a strip of hot pink wrapping paper down the center. Three hand-assembled pirate ships were down the center, along with jewelry, coins and confetti. The place settings consisted of a silver paper plate on the bottom with pink pirate partyware layered on top with a clear plate on top of that. Pirate goblets were made out of acrylic glassware adorned with a white skull sticker. The base was glued to ensure that it did not separate during the party. Black napkins and silver-toned plastic ware completed each place.
