Here are some great ideas for a teen Pirate Party.
After the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, the world has taken the love of pirates to a whole new level!
When you are looking for a teen party theme and wanting everyone to dress in costume, the pirate party makes a great theme for a guy and girl party and is perfect for celebrating Talk Like a Pirate Day!
Lots of fun possibilities for party invitations, decorations and activities, a pirate party also makes a great teenager birthday party.
Here are some easy ideas to make a great pirate party.
Pirate Party Invitations
Every party starts off with an invitation. Set the mood by choosing a fun party invitation that really gets the idea of your theme across to your friends. There are lots of options for a pirate party invitation. Some favorites are...
A treasure map! Write the party details in the “legend” box of the map.
Make up a "Wanted" poster for a pirate, with your guests being the ones who are wanted.

Teen Pirate Party Decorations
Decorate your party area like a tropical island – palm trees made out of brown and green kraft paper, large paper flowers, etc. Here is an example of a tropical flower.
Decorate your party area like the ocean. You can even cover the walls with blue butcher paper to be the sea. It is easy to make great homemade sealife decorations.
Include pirate flags, piles of plastic gold coins and bead necklaces around the room.
Teen Birthday Party Games
Every self-respecting pirate loves treasure. So...go on a treasure hunt!
At your teen pirate party, break open a Treasure Chest Pinata. This could actually be the treasure you seek in the treasure hunt, and then you break it open...
The fun teen party game, Find the Captain (actually, the Find the Leader Game,but since we’re talking pirates, the leader will be the captain!)
Costumes! Are you asking your friends to dress up as pirates? You might lay in a supply of pirate patches and temporary tattoos, just in case someone shows up and they aren't in costume. That way they can get in the pirate spirit!
Have you heard of Talk Like a Pirate Day? It happens every September. Adopt that fun idea and throughout the entire party, have everyone talk like a pirate!
If this teenage birthday party is a golden birthday, you will for sure want to include a treasure hunt for gold! What is a golden birthday?
Play one of the Pirates of the Caribbean board games – there are several board games that have been remade into this theme, including Life and Monopoly (the link will take you to amazon to see what's available.)
