An Outfit For a Pirate

One element that I am really excited about for Owen's birthday party this year is the costumes.

That's right people....costumes! You can't have a pirate party without dressing up like pirates!

For Owen, we will be going for a look like this....

What an easy outfit for him! We already have the pants, and will just need to pick up a shirt, tie a piece of tattered fabric around his waist, and a bandana or eyepatch...voila!

Daddy will likely wear something along the same lines....khaki shorts, white shirt, eye patch.

But Mommy? Oh mommy will be dressing up too! While this is my inspiration, I certainly wont be this....uhm...revealing!

Striped tee, headwrap, tattered khaki shorts or black gauchos, black sparkly gladiator sandals.

Do you dress up for your kiddo's party? This will be our first time, but I'm really excited and think it will be alot of fun!

A Pirates Life for Me

It seems like forever ago that we decided on the theme for our toddlers birthday party. Over the next couple of weeks, I will be revealing elements of the party and talking about how to set up some fun activities for your little swashbucklers!

Today is all about the invitation. Immediately, I went to my super talented graphic designer bloggy BFF Shannon of Baby Shmizz. She started a shop on Etsy, The Baby Noogle, and it is absolutely amazing the thing that she can do with digital design!

How amazing is that?! I threw out piratey term like Swashbuckler, first mate, avast and matey...then she took care of the rest!

Stay tuned! I'll be showing cake inspiration, food table labels and some activities over the next couple of weeks!
