Include a Jolly Roger, the famous pirate flag, on your invitation.
Young children or the young at heart will love a pirate-themed party, whether for their birthday or just because. Set the tone for the event immediately by wording the invitation using pirate lingo. The invitation will still need to convey all the party details clearly, so you'll need to include the standard party information, but writing your invite in pirate-speak will give your guests a taste of what to expect and bring a smile to their faces. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Introduce your invitation with a line of welcome, such as "Ahoy!" or "Avast!" Both catch the reader's attention pirate-style.
2. Issue the invitation. Use pirate language to phrase the invitation, such as "Ye be invited to Dylan's Booty Bash" or "Shiver me timbers, Ava'll be three on the third of December."
3. Add the date, time, and address of the party. Include a map with directions and write "X marks the spot" next to the location of the party.
4. Relay any pertinent details. If the event is bring-your-own-beverage, you can state that it is BYOG (bring your own grog).
5. Ask your guests to RSVP. You could write, "Call Joe by January 3 to let us know if your answer is 'aye-aye' or ye'll be walking the plank that day," or for an electronic invitation, include "Aye-aye" for yes, "Arr, if I'm done plunderin'" for maybe and "I'm a landlubber" for no.
