How to Create a Pirate-inspired Fall Party

How to Create a Pirate-inspired Fall Party

With Halloween just six weeks away, it’s never too early to think about creative ways to celebrate the season. Fall is a great time to gather with loved ones especially around the Thanksgiving season. Whether you want a simple get together or a themed party, we editors at the Teelie Blog have something special in store for you. One of the most fun themes to have for a Fall party is a pirate-themed one. A pirate-inspired Fall party can be thrown in time for Halloween or Thanksgiving. You can even save your decor for upcoming birthday parties and other get-togethers. Here are some great tips on how to throw a pirate-inspired Fall party.

  • Create a fun little game for little kids by setting a plank of wood at the entrance to the party using wood on bricks (just make sure it’s safe for the little ones!), an idea courtesy of The Spruce.
  • Who said Easter egg hunts are only for Easter? This Fall season, let the kids go search for treasures around the garden or the house. The one with the most treasures found will be a renowned little pirate! Award his efforts with some candy and other treats.
  • Have your guests get into the swashbuckling ambience by dressing up in their own pirate costumes. You can also opt to offer props for photo booths to make for memorable OOTD’s.
  • Check out crafty ideas for pirate-themed party invitations and creative ways to bundle up party favors for your guests to take home after the gathering.
  • Ask your guests to come up with their own pirate names and wear name tags and address each other using such names throughout the party.
