Arrgh! The Pirate Party!
Ahoy Mateys!
A pirate theme is a probably one of the most popular party themes out there. With that being the case, there is a surplus of ideas available to make your party a hit!
There are of course the prepackaged party kits
Serve hotdog with pirate sails attached. Popcorn, goldfish, Swedish fish and gummy worms make good "fish bait." Red punch for "crocodile blood punch."

Pirate Grub
For some simple food ideas:
Scary fish made out of a watermelon. Cut small v's at one end of the watermelon to resemble a mouth with teeth and scoop out the insides into little melon balls. Then fill the fishes mouth back up with the melon balls, grapes, etc.
Blue jello with gummy octopuses suspended in the middle to look like the ocean.
Ice creamcone cupcakes decorated like pirates- including a wedding band earring.

coconut ice cream topped with shaved coconut and served in real coconut half-shells

Owl Party! Look Whoo's ___ (here, one, two... etc.)
This theme works wonderfully for both boys and girls and also as a birthday party or a baby shower! Nothing better than a versatile theme!
Once you decide on your color theme, the rest of your party decor can start to fall into place. Since the theme is so interchangeable, the colors you choose are completely up to you and don't have to be restrained to a typical set palette.
