Add Some Great Pirate Decor To Your Pirate Theme Party!

If you are planning on having a pirate party this Halloween, then to make it even more memorable you will need to decorate your home with some authentic pirate decor to make it an awesome swashbuckling soiree!

With all the amazing Halloween stores that are now available online, you are going to be spoilt for choice when it comes to pirate props and decorations. What I have done is to research some of the biggest online costume and accessory stores and came up with a list of what I thought were the coolest pirate theme party decor, and which were
quality items at an affordable price…

Peel 'N Place Wall DecorationA Peel’ n place pirate wall decoration is a great start. These can be used year after year if you are careful how you take it off the wall. The one I found, that I thought was authentic, had a rustic look of real weather-beaten wood and measured approximately 20″ wide x 11.5″ high, and said “Beware Of Pirates”. This decoration is made of plastic and will cling to just about any flat surfaces, for example, you can easily put it on walls, windows or doors.

Pirate Flag 3' x 5' PlankWhat about a pirate flag? All pirates used flags as a symbol as to which piracy group they sailed under. There’s always the typical Jolly Roger that everyone knows about, but the one I really liked was a little more unique and definitely more colorful! It is a pirate skull with crossed pirate swords are displayed in the center with the words, “Pirates Only – No Trespassing! – All Others Will Walk The Plank” written on it. It has eye-catching brilliant colors. After your pirate theme party it doesn’t have to be folded up and put away, as it would be great for a bedroom or game room too!

Pirates Bottle Of RumYou know that pirates are infamous for drinking rum, and lots of it! A pirate’s life can be tough, so it didn’t hurt to have a little something to take the edge off – a pirate’s bottle of rum! This is a great pirate prop. The one I found is a brown bottle with a red label, white skull and crossbones. It also has a blue ribbon style label featuring a red skull on the bottles neck, and a cork top. This plastic bottle adds a nice touch for pirate-y effect, either tucked into a cloth belt or used as simple decoration. It has a nice weathered look, and is really quite unique.

6' Jointed Pirate Skeleton CutoutThen finally there’s the huge life-size pirate decoration, he is perfect for your pirate party. This jointed pirate skeleton cut-out will tower over your most of your guests at a whopping 6′ high with his skeletal parrot on his shoulder. This wall hanging is one-sided and made of cardboard. Just imagine this freaky chappy hanging on your hallway wall to greet your guests as they arrived!

Then, if you liked making crafts, you could go to your local craft store and buy a few items and then you could make some of the following homemade pirate decor…

  • A treasure chest – you could make one out of a shoebox or cardboard box, or if you were extra ambitious you could make a proper life-size one out of wood!
  • Make some gold coins – cover large round cut-outs of cardboard with gold foil. Make them different sizes, coins come in all different sizes. You could add these to the treasure chest, if you made one.
  • You could bake a pirate cake or a pirate ship cake and put in the center of your table.
  • You could make some Jolly Roger flags – just draw the skull and crossbones shape onto black construction paper and then paint the drawing with white paint. You could make a few of these and then put them all over the walls around your house.

For your pirate theme party, not only could you decorate your home with the pirate decor I’ve mentioned above, but another great idea would be to have a real treasure hunt! You could make your own realistic looking pirate treasure map and think up your own treasure hunt, or you can actually buy online some already prepared treasure hunt games for all different age groups, they can be purchased for ages 5-9 years (easy), ages 10-teen (medium) and teen-adult (hard). All you then need to do is for you and all your guest to dress up in pirate costumes and female pirate costumes and you will have the best pirate party ever! Don’t forget to take lots of photos, you’ll want to remember this one!
