This past weekend, we had a fun time with a Pirate birthday party for my 7-year-old. It’s always fun for me to do silly projects for my kiddos, so I thought I would share. I created a mustache-wearing pirate party invitation with a fold-over eye patch and a sucker for an “earring.” I got a “cool” from said 7yo, so I claimed that as a success.

To put the invitation together, I found some black decorative tape with numbers printed on it in my tape jar to create a silly flag on those big, round “bank” suckers. I threaded the stick through slits in the invitation to hold the eye patch flap in place.

I’ve included a generic version of the invitation here that you can print if there is a pirate birthday celebration coming up in your family. Just click the sample instructions below to download a pdf copy. Ahoy Matey!
