Make it Do Parties means using what you have, rolling up your sleeves and not spending a fortune to celebrate a special day. It doesn’t mean your party lacks style or fun… those things a party should have in abundance.

Hi!
I just found your website while googling a recipe. What a great find! I adore your style and suggestions. Have you ever done a pirate party or have any cute ideas? I saw a great pirate hat cake and my soon to be 6 year old boy loves pirates…. where do I take it from here? Help!
Thanks a bunch!

I have done a pirate party for my son… when he was turning 5. It was such a fun theme! We had a treasure hunt, complete with a treasure map and an x that marked the spot, of course. For the cake I opted for very simple. I made a chocolate sheet cake in a 9×13 pan. I cut the cake carefully in half and decorated it to make a treasure box. Then I made it look like it was overflowing with candy jewelry, necklaces, ring pops, and chocolate coins. The kids loved eating the candy!
I just found your site through Circle of Moms. It looks like we have some similar party planning insanity! I did a woodland fairy and gnome party for my daughter last year, and an American Girl party for her older sister. Not to hijack your post, but I did blog all about the pirate party we threw for my son, that might be helpful for your reader:

I’ll have to check out more of your fun ideas!
Thank you so much for the doll sized party hat template! My girls want an AG doll party and this is perfect. Thank you for sharing your party and all of the wonderful ideas!
