Setting the Scene for Adventure
Transform your ordinary space into an extraordinary underwater realm! Drape walls with ocean-themed streamers in shades of teal, turquoise, and navy. Hang colorful fish cutouts, inflatable tentacles (perfect for a playful touch!), and even construct a paper kraken with construction paper and string.
Don’t forget the iconic Ruby Gillman herself! Print out pictures of Ruby or create your own custom decorations featuring the fearless heroine.
Get Ready for Epic Games
No pirate party is complete without a thrilling treasure hunt! Hide small toys, candies, or even handwritten riddles around the house or backyard. Create a treasure map with markers and construction paper, leading your little pirates to their hidden booty. For older kids, you can incorporate puzzles or challenges that require teamwork and problem-solving skills.
Delicious Treats for the Crew
Avast, ye scurvy dogs! No party is complete without a bounty of delicious food. Get creative with your menu! Serve up “shark-uterie” boards with crackers, cheese, and sliced vegetables. Make “seaweed” snacks with green fruit roll-ups.
For the main course, try “goldfish” and chips (fish sticks and french fries), or “pirate pizzas” with fun shapes cut out of the crust. Don’t forget the birthday cake! Decorate it with frosting to resemble a kraken or a treasure chest, or bake cupcakes with fun toppers featuring Ruby Gillman and her friends.
Create the Perfect Party Playlist
Set the mood with a rousing pirate-themed playlist! Include classic sea shanties like “Drunken Sailor” and “What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor?” Mix it up with some modern pirate-inspired tunes (think “A Pirate’s Life for Me” from Pirates of the Caribbean).
For a fun interactive element, create a “Pirate Pictionary” game where guests have to draw pirate-themed words while their crewmates guess!
