Childrens birthday party ideas and photos by: Christy from Cedar Rapids, IA We had this pirate party twice now. Once it was very hot and we had 30 kids (my favorite one of the two). The other was 5 kids and nice out (harder to keep entertained). Out of all the childrens birthday party ideas … Read more
For decorations I used many birthday party theme ideas I read about from this website. I found lots of pictures online from Pirates of the Caribbean , and other pirates and put them on our hallway walls and all around the house. I made a big treasure chest from an empty cardboard box and glued … Read more
I made a mural in our living room (one of the birthday party theme ideas I do every year, each time I change it according to the theme of the party). The mural was of a big pirate ship in the water going towards an island with a palm tree and a big black X … Read more
We then went back in the house and played “Pin the X on the Treasure”. I made a big treasure map similar to the one for the invitation. I made red X’s for each child with their name on it. Then we had a treasure hunt. Each child received a small swatch of wrapping paper. … Read more

My 2 kids love Jake and the Neverland Pirates and since they haven’t marketed any of their things yet, I decided to have a generic pirate party for them. I sent e-vites with the pirate theme, then went to a local party store to find my other goodies (and Walmart too). Our party was for … Read more

The party took place in the Athens Little Playhouse, which is a children’s theater in Athens, Ga. The lady who … Read more
