If you hold to a particular dress code of pirate costumes, then others are going to get drawn in as well. involved. Even if they are only going to wear a bandana and an eye-patch for the night they to make a small effort. Some of your ‘guests’ at your charity evening are bound to take it all far more seriously. You can be sure that, as long as you advertise the event in plenty of time, some people will go to great lengths to dress in far more realistic pirate costumes.
Perhaps, instead of having a collection bucket, you can use a wooden chest to hold all of the donations. This will stay in keeping with everything else and will look great when it is sat on the bar. It can all go further than just dressing up in pirate costumes for the evening. Why not organise some games and activities for everyone that are ‘buccaneer-orientated’? Don’t make them too serious though, they need to be fun. You should also bear in mind that some of the people wearing pirate costumes will, by now, have perhaps had a few too many… Don’t come up with anything that demands huge amounts of sobriety.
The most important thing to remember is that your charity evening is good fun for everyone who attends. If you manage to make it an event that is enjoyed by all then it may become the first of many. It’s important to get the right balance. You are aiming to make the evening fun but it is also being held for a good cause.
Whatever charity it is that you choose to support could greatly benefit from your group of revellers in their pirate costumes. Have a good time.

You know, people could save a fortune just by taking a look at costumes in the films and then making up their own. Sorry to try and take your customers away, but as a person in fashions, it is so easy to do.
I was watching a new clip last night and the film starring Heath Ledger who played the joker in the last batman movie. He didn’t finish making his last film and so they swapped in Johny Depp from Pirates of the Caribbean to take his part. Apparently they had to change the story line to accommodate him. I twill be interesting to saee the final result.
Johnny Depp to the rescue but this time not as Captain Jack Sparrow

The pirate themes seem to last forever. Maybe because it is so well catered for in the theme parks. Disney have a great ride there too. I think the big push in recetn years has been the popularity of johhny depp who women seem to love. Can’t do any harm to sales!
