Great Pirate Birthday Party Ideas – Invitations

A Pirate’s Treasure Map

Your guests will really get into the spirit of your Pirate theme when you send them an invitation themed up as an old Pirate Treasure map.

Cut a brown paper bag into a square.

Then, with a black marker write “Captain__________’s (insert your birthday child’s name) treasure map”…
“You are invited to a swash-buckling party matey… (in here write the party date, time, length of the party and any other details) then close by saying something like…

“If you dare, you’ll be finding the party by following this treasure map… And remember this. “X” marks the spot!”

The map will be directions to your party and the “X” is the birthday party address.
Now crumble up the paper so your map looks old and post it to your guest. Be original with the envelope.

Fun Pirate Birthday Party Ideas – Treasure Map

Add some fun with your Invitation by making one more treasure map for a real treasure hidden somewhere in your party house.

Cut this map up into puzzle pieces (one for each child you’re inviting).

Include a piece of the treasure map in the envelope and instruct your guests to bring their piece of the treasure map to the party.

When your guests arrive, have them put their puzzle pieces together, then they can all hunt for the treasure you’ve hidden…

Make sure you keep a copy of the map in case one of your guests fails to turn up.

For treasure, put some chocolate coins in a box and hide them somewhere for your guests to find together with their map.
