Pirate Parrrrty!

Who says you have to be 8 to have a pirate theme party? Here are some ideas to throw your own adult buccaneer bash:

Decor:

- Dark burgundy or black tablecloths
- Gold coins spread out on surfaces
- Treasure chest centerpiece (filled with chocolate gold coins!)
- Skull & crossbone banner or flag
- Goblets

And for the more adventurous:
- Skeletons with pirate hats, scarves & eye patches, covered in cobwebs
- A giant cannon
- Ship sails or entire boat replica
- A plank for walkin'

Meal:
- Hearty snacks like cheese and meats
- Wine bottles wrapped with homemade labels that read "poison"
- Cake decorated to resemble a pirate map
- Plenty of rum!

Activities:
- Scavenger hunt
- Bobbing for apples
- Charades or pictionary with pirate theme words
- Pirate impersonation contest
- A rousing game of blackjack

And remember... "To err is human, to arr is pirate."
