Pink Pirate Party!
View The Angelica Collection

Ahoy there Matey! For Mila's 8th birthday, she wanted a fun pink pirate party theme. I designed a line of colorful party accessories with awesome pirate accents. We had a swashbuckling good time!

Mia's Party Invitation
This year I designed the "Angelica" party theme with party bright colors - Perfect for a pink pirate party!
Small Welcome Banner
I love to create a colorful entrance to let our guests know where to come. A fun and colorful door banner is the perfect touch to welcome your family and friends with style!
Welcome Door Banner
For Mila's pirate party, I designed several party banners to hang throughout the party space.
Party Name Banner
I tied the banners with brown tulle and green curling ribbon for a fun and rustic pirate feel.
"Pirate Punch" - Red Punch
I laminate my beverage cards to add durability and protection from the occasional splash of liquid.
"Caribbean Cooler" - Blue Punch
Bottle Wraps
I wanted to also include just a few bottled waters, as we have a few guests that prefer it. It's always good to have a bit of variety if possible, just so all guests are comfortable.
"Swashbuckling Sweets" - Flavored Tootsie Rolls®
Tent appetizer cards are a great way to provide a unique and clever touch. They are an inexpensive option and sure to impress your guests!

"Peg Legs" - Pretzel Sticks
I love to think of unique and clever things for my food and drinks - Even plain old pretzel sticks are transformed to "Peg Legs" - So fun!
Paper Pennant Straws
I just LOVE party straws! I personalized them with Mila's name and age 8 with cool pirate accents throughout.
"Shark Teeth" - Cheese Triangles
Cupcake Toppers
Mila loves cream cheese frosting, so I made vanilla cupcakes with her beloved cream cheese frosting - Yum!
The Dessert Table - Yummy!
I used a bright pink tablecloth and brown netting to decorate the table base. It's a colorful and festive backdrop for the dessert table.
"Polly's Crackers" - Ritz® Crackers
I adore simple and easy appetizers that everyone loves. I always include a few healthy options in the mix of all the other sweets and candy available. Guests appreciate a little variety.
"Dead Man's Chest" - Soda Cooler
I used a fun sign to decorate the outside of the soda cooler chest - A simple way to show your guests that there are beverages inside - So fun!
"Tattoo Parlor" Station
My grandmother was in charge of this booth - Temporary tattoos at the "Tattoo Parlor"! Another BIG hit with the kids!
Folded Tent Card
I put these fun tent cards throughout the space and on the guest tables. Instant decoration!
Centerpiece Decorations
I put these amazing centerpieces everywhere! I love how easy it is to dress up a tablescape or dessert table. So colorful and festive - Sure to be a crowd favorite!
Loot Bags for the Piñata
I attached favor tags to plain kraft handled bags. Super easy and still looks great!
Piñata time!

Our tradition continues with our beloved Piñata event. San Antonio (where we live) is an amazing place with a rich and vibrant history. Piñatas are a regular sight at birthday parties and special events. We try to have one at every single party we host - So fun!

Happy Birthday Banner & Name Banner
I placed decorations both inside, and outside the house with banners and rain forest themed decorations throughout. My love for tablescapes has really allowed me to get creative with the food and drinks. I love simple, yet delicious, appetizers with clever tent card text - Makes for a very fun and festive event!
"Pirate Jewels" - Mixed Fruit
I designed several food tent cards at the dessert table and paired them with fun candies, cookies, and sweet treats. :)
"Chips O'Hoy There Matey" Cookies
Tent Card and Cupcake Topper Display
I used toppers and tent cards to dress up the displays - Even in the bathroom!
Cupcake Toppers
I made vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese frosting - I ran out of room on the display, so I just placed the extras on a plate - Worked out great!
"Canon Balls" - Cheese Balls
I always have a dessert/snack table that is separate than the food/dinner buffet. This allows your guests to snack before the meal.
"Ocean Water"
Dress up plain water with a fun beverage card - It's a clever way to dress up any display. Works for candy displays too!
Pink Paper Lanterns with Curling Ribbon Steamers
Pirate Scavenger Hunt!
This year I wanted to do a fun scavenger hunt, so I created a fun "Treasure Hunt" to the Pirate Piñata! I set up stations around the back yard where they can visit the booth and participate to get their "Pirate" stamp. Once all the stamps are collected, they can enter the final Pirate Piñata to fight for their loot! I really had fun with this one. :-)

"Pirate Gold" - Cheese Cubes
"Carrot Planks", "Seaweed Dip", and "Celery Planks" - Veggies/Ranch Dip
"Pirate Dress Up" Booth
For the Pirate Dress Up Station, we set up a fun table with beaded necklaces, bandanas, eye patches, and foam swords. The kids loved it - A BIG hit!

"Photo Booth" Station
We did a "Photo Booth" station for our guests. We have professional photos taken and email the photos to our guests after the party. It was such a BIG hit that we're going to do it for all our parties!

Treat Boxes
I love to give a parting gift, so I designed these awesome treat boxes! I am in LOVE with these boxes! They are the perfect size for small treasures or treats - No too big or too small - The perfect side for a child. The kids love them too!
Mila on her 8th Birthday!
