Yo Ho Ho! It's a Girl & Boy Pirate Party! I love a good DIY birthday party.

I'll take you through every tip and pointer so you can throw a fab party without breaking the bank.
Use cupcakes not a true cake! You don't need a knife to cut the cake (especially important if you are having your party somewhere other than home). The cupcakes just pull apart!
I like buying things I can use more than once. This Playmobil Pirate ship was the perfect centerpiece and it was a great gift for the kids!
There are a lot of designers on Etsy who will create a custom invite for you for a nominal fee. They will send you a jpeg of the image.
The best time to buy costumes is right after Halloween. I snagged these 3 piece costumes from Little Tykes for .99 each! Score!
Every kids party needs games! To keep things in budget I was determined to make all of mine. This is Walk the Plank. Cost virtually no money.
We used a plastic kiddie pool filled with Sandbox sand. I filled the box with an array of pirate swag. Gold necklaces, plastic jewels, pirate rings, and gold coins! I gave each pirate a treasure bag and they went digging!
And boy did they dig! How many kids can you fit in a sand box??
Crafts can double as a bag for their party favors!
Family time!
Fun times!
We had a swashbuckling great time! Even if we did have a Cupcake Fail...
