String up pirate flags, ropes, and fishing nets to create the feeling of a ship.

Scatter some faux gold coins, treasure chests, and even a pirate ship centerpiece for an extra touch of plunder.

DIY props:

• Get crafty with some DIY decorations and props! Craft a simple pirate map using tea-stained paper and burnt edges for an authentic look.

• Construct a "Walk the Plank" area using wooden planks or cardboard painted to resemble weathered wood.

• And no pirate party is complete without a photo booth! Stock it with eye patches, bandanas, and foam swords for some memorable snapshots.

Quench Yer Thirst:
