If you and your guests like adventure and risk, are full of optimism and excitement, if you are a little crazy and like to have fun with the soul, then you will get a great "gang of pirates"! So you can safely organize an explosive pirate party, on which everyone will feel like a real "sea wolf"!
At the entrance guests are greeted by people disguised as pirates, making loud greetings, such as "who has brought us, a thousand devils!", "Break my thunder, that's he ... he came to us!", "Moor your boat and welcome to us on board! "
During the meeting, each guest receives a list of slang pirate words and their translations, for example:
- load (load) hold - eat
- to soak your throat - to drink
- to shake bones - to dance
- to cheer up the Merry Roger - have fun
- to send a schooner - to go
- deck - the place where pirates gather
- galley - kitchen
- to warm up the hold - to have tea
- black label - message
Beautifully and originally designed invitations will please and customize the guests on the appropriate theme of harmony.
You can write an invitation to a standard postcard form, colorfully illustrating the cover. On the front side of the invitation you can depict, for example, Merry Roger (a skull with crossed bones on a black flag - a symbol of pirates) or pictures with images of pirates, treasure, ships and maps. You can develop sketches either by yourself or by borrowing ideas on the Internet.
You should also pay attention to writing the text of the invitation itself. Here you can use pirated slang and relevant movie quotes.
For example: "Yo-ho-ho! Old man ... (indicating the name of the invited one), it will be an honor for me to receive you on my ship" The Flying Norman "moored in ... (the address of the event is indicated). (date), when the bottles will strike smoothly ... (time) I swear by all the sea ducks, we'll have a great fun! And anchor me to the liver, if it's not so! Sea wolf ... (name of the host of the celebration) ".
The original idea will also be invitations, made in the form of old scrolls, tied with ribbon or twine and fastened with wax seal. Inside of such a scroll there can be both an ordinary invitation and a card, with a cross marked with a place where the party will take place. In this case, the text of the invitation can be: "Captain Hook summons a team to search for a treasure!" Need trivial thugs and desperate pirates, ready for adventure and danger! A lot of booze and food mountains are waiting for you on my ship! "
Themes of the pirate party suggest appropriate suits for the guests. Therefore, the dress code should also be stipulated in the invitation: "On board only real pirates are allowed, wearing the latest Corsair fashion!"
Also, invitations can be made in the form of a pirate black label - a piece of cardboard round in shape, on one side of which will be drawn a skull with bones, and on the other - the text of the invitation itself.
Location
You can spend a pirate party anywhere: in your apartment or at home, or in a rented room: a restaurant, a cafe, a club or even a sauna. The main thing is that the room is thematically equipped and decorated, it will give the party the necessary atmosphere of the filibuster spirit.
We decorate the room and the table
If the celebration takes place in a café, you can decorate its walls and columns with black balloons and images of pirate scenes. On the ceiling, you can hang garlands of flags with the image of Merry Roger. If guests are scheduled a lot and seating will be carried out for several tables, then you can think up each table-ship its name: "Blue Pearl", "Smashing," "Black Ghost", "Bloody Mary", etc.
If the party takes place in your home, then in addition to the balls and flags mentioned above, space can be decorated with mock-ups of ships, shells, stones, appliqués and posters with images of menacing corsairs, anchors, exotic birds and animals, parrot figures. On the walls you can hang up old (or not so) cards, lay out specially purchased or made with your own hands naval attributes (bottles with scrolls, chests with coins, binoculars, compasses).
And of course, there must be a real pirate drink on the table - rum. Also, as a cocktail, you can serve grog guests, and for those who do not drink alcohol, non-alcoholic grog is suitable, where rum is replaced with fruit fillers.
Costumes
Of course, a pirate party can not do without the dressing of guests and hosts in thematic costumes.
The simplest and most reliable way to look like a 100% pirate is to turn to the services of companies that offer costumes for hire. Here you will be offered a choice of many different types of pirate attire, suitable for both men and women. However, this option is good for those who do not have special material problems. Those who are not ready to lay out a tidy sum for a suit can walk through the "rolling" institutions, look at the variants of the costumes and thereby inspire themselves to create their own by looking at some interesting ideas.
The main role in the pirate costume is played by the details. For example, wearing even ordinary pants and a shirt, but adding a black bandage to your eyes, a pirate hat with a skull and bones and a toy dagger on your belt, you can safely go on a visit-you will definitely get down for "your own". Also, it is worth looking at accessories such as bandanas, wigs, flasks, toy pistols, boots, black raincoats, wide straps, false beards and mustaches, massive chains, a parrot toy attached to the shoulder.
For girls as a suit, dresses are knee-length or shorter with lush skirts in black and red tones, as well as tights in a large net, high boots.
Musical accompaniment
For the sound background, both songs and music in the style of rock, jazz, blues, and musical compositions from the movies about pirates or popular songs that mention the sea robbers (soundtracks for the films "Pirates of the Caribbean", cartoon "Treasure island", songs " A good pirate is a dead pirate of the "King and the Jester" group, "Pirate" of the group "Agatha Christie", "For those who are in the sea" of the group "Time Machine", etc.).
Entertainment and competitions
For entertainment guests can invite a dance group, which will perform the numbers "pirate focus." A good option would be a show of juggling bottles and masterly making rum cocktails.
As a competition for "hurray" is a quest for treasure hunt with help cards. You can play the game individually or for teams.
A few more options for team contests:
- We crush the paper into balls and give it to each team. Players take turns throwing shells into a bucket. The team that will make fewer mistakes will win.
- Each team is given a "building" set: paper, scissors, tape, stapler, glue, cardboard, etc. for the allotted time the teams must build from this their ship. The winner is chosen by the host of the evening.
