This weekend we celebrated my son's 8th birthday with a Petite Celebrations Pirate Party! The interesting thing is that I've been so busy creating parties for others these past couple of months that I literally had nothing for this party (except the plates & a few miscellaneous items) a week before. I know...mother of the year here... Thankfully, my items were ordered, shipped, and arrived in time, AND my friend Amanda of Shindig helped pull me through by sending me her pirate printables and her fabric bunting! She was truly the party planner's party fairy last week. You may remember Amanda from her incredible Enchanted Fairy party, but now she also has an Etsy shop with printables for your own parties!
Now, here's the Pirate Party for my own little Skallywag:

The good thing about designing a pirate party in late September is that there are lots of cool things out for Halloween, that I could use.
As for the snack table, I wanted it to have the feel of old crates from the ship that had been pried open. I was happy with the look but Amanda's printables added a much needed pop of color among the neutral boxes. What do you know, I turned out to be mother of the year afterall!

I LOVE this, Chris! AMAZING set-up. I love the little chest place settings! The dessert table is adorable. Perfect presentation.
Absolutely fabulous Ms. Chris! I bet he was over the moon! And I love that you set it up outdoors! But can you serve Pirate's Rum to kids? :)
So cute! I love the treat table with the crates. You did a good job at the last minute.
Everything looks fabulous. I think some of the best parties come together last minute!
This is a great pirate party! My 4 year old son is sitting on my lap looking at it and he just asked me for the same exact party. Will you come to CA, Chris? ;)

I LOVE the mast and tied up sails at the head of the table! Awesome pirate party!!
I KNEW you'd pull it off -- FANTASTIC! And you were worried you hadn't worked on it enough! That's the thing, Chris -- you are a super-talented, professional party planner -- there was never any doubt it in my mind that it would be awesome. So glad I could help out, and so glad the boys (and girl!) had fun!! Thanks for the shout out!
