How To Design Pirate Birthday Invitations For Anybody

I bet you know the adventures of Johnny Depp and his venerable Pirates of the Caribbean. If you don't, you kids must surely have seen them. They have made such a huge impact on everybody that people from toddlers to adults would love to have pirate themed birthday parties. In this post, we are going to be seeing what you need to do to create pirate birthday invitations.

Making birthday invitations based on the theme of pirates is really one of the most exciting things you can do. It is one of the few themes that you would be tempted to do yourself rather than buying pre made invitations from brick and mortar stores or online stores. You get so immersed in the pirate theme that you want to become the leader of the pirates in the party even if it's a kids' party.

Anyway, the first thing that you want to get right in the invitations is the wordings. After all, the pirate language is the most fun part of the whole theme. Use pirate words such as 'Ye', or 'me mateys!' you can get more phrases from the movies themselves. Once you have gotten the lingo, you will be able to make creative sentences of your own.

Phrases such as 'Please attend the party' become "join the pirate crew'. Another example, 'dear friends' become 'salty dogs'. Instead of 'a lot of fun awaits, say 'plunder and pillage are underway'. I leave the job of creating the pirate sentences themselves for the pirate birthday invitations to you since you will find plenty of them elsewhere on the web.

Alright, so the guests, oh sorry!, pirates have been invited. Everybody comes to an address, right? So why not give them the address in a similar piratey fashion. They are not travelling to your house. They will be 'setting sail' towards your house. You can't add a date in a piratey lingo, so write the date in plain English (duh!). The pirate lingo will give the invitees the perfect feel for a pirate party.

That was about the wordings. Another important factor in giving the perfect pirate feel to the party is to have some fonts that look from the age of the pirates. Try getting some old Gothic Fonts. If you are MS Office, it has loads of gothic fonts such as Bernard MT, or MS Gothic. You can choose something which you feel.

If you can't find the perfect font for pirate birthday invitations, you might get some on the internet. Just download and install a few of them and then see which one looks better for your child's birthday party. I, for one, know that fonts make a huge difference in making children get excited about attending the pirate party.

However, the first thing that invitees will see when they open the invitation envelops is the image. The first impression for the pirate birthday invitations should really tell you all about the theme of the party. The image of the brown ship is classic and fits the bill for almost any invitation.
