Argh Matey....I'm 2! The Pirate Party!

David turned 2 on Sunday and we had an awesome pirate party!

Lots of planning and hard work with a great theme and the party was a success!

That and some handy shopping at Al's 5 & 10 at the beach and the Target!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Target!!

We had Gold'Doubloon"Fish, Sneaky Shark Fruit Snacks, and Scallywag Pretzel Fish

I also found these great snack size bags with the pirate skull on them. Perfect for grabbing a snack and heading outside!

I made David's Pirate Ship birthday cake.

I feel like I cheated a little and used a ship shaped cake pan (thanks ebay)

but I made the icing from scratch and hand piped it all!

The pirate figures were from Michaels (toys in a tube)

and I made the sails myself with some dowels and I printed the sail design out and with some hot glue, made them work!

The flag in the background came from Al's and the triangle banners were from Target Gulf Shores.

Also, the pirate fabric was from etsy!

I made cupcakes and added a mini milky way into the batter in each cup for a "treasure" inside each one. They were delicious! The icing was made out of Marshmallow Fluff and some other stuff and it turned out awesome too! The wrappers and flags came from a wilton set I found at Old Time Pottery & Michaels.

The drink table included "Pirate Punch" (fruit tea)

Water bottles with matching stickers on them and

Juice boxes with pirate wraps on them too.

The invitation, bottle stickers and juice box wraps & thank you notes

were all designed and made by my friend Liv Wilson of Belle Announcements

We had everyone sign a pirate book

as a great memory from the party!

(thanks to Chris, Zack & Gaines)

{Pirate pinata was from Al's too)

For Party Favors, We had Pirate Treasure!

They were Pirate water bottles with a pirate eye patch and a few gold doubloons!

They each also got a paper Pirate hat.

Walking through the TJMAXX at the Foley outlets was a success!

I found this awesome Pirate Ship blow up pool! It came with a treasure chest, swords, sheilds, hats and was a blast for the kids!
