The Cake and Party Favors
Continue your pirate theme with a Pirate Party Garland centered over the table. Embellish a simple white tabletop with a Black and White Striped Runner and a black cake stand for your cake.
A store-bought ocean themed cake is perfect for this party. Simply add a Foam Pirate Ship as a cake topper to instantly customize your cake. Glue the foam ship to a paper straw to ensure the cake stays food safe. Don't forget the coordinating Pirate Animals Plates and Napkins!
Fill Treasure Chest Favor Boxes with your favorite snacks or toys. Create your own coordinating popcorn boxes by adding Pirate Animal Stickers to Green Mini Popcorn Boxes and Blue Mini Popcorn Boxes.
The Guest Table
Add another Black and White Striped Table Runner to your guest table and top it with a Large Cloth Pirate Flag. This is a great way to create a non intrusive centerpiece which works especially well for the little ones.
Create a fun tablescape by using the Pirate Animals Bandanas as cloth napkins. The Pirate Animals Slap Bracelets make great napkin rings too! Pack tons of party fun in small Black Pirate Chests for each guest to take home or play with during the party. Add Pirate Animals Dinner Plates and matching cups and beverage napkins to complete the place settings. Encourage your guests to craft their own pirate hats and pirate ships using the Floating Foam Ship Craft Kit and DIY Pirate Hat Kits.
Every pirate needs a Sword and Eye Patch! Send guests home with these key accessories inside a Pirate Animals Tote Bag! Hang the bags on the backs of the chairs to make sure every guest gets one.
Keep the little pirates busy with a fun Inflatable Smiling Octopus Ring Toss Game. Keep score so they can win prizes from the coveted pirate's Treasure Chest. Read more about what we included in our pirate's treasure chest HERE.
