1st Birthday Party - Pirates Theme !!!

My nephews 1st Bday is coming up in July and they will be down the weekend of the 4th of July, so I am going to throw his party on the 4th but like always I LOVE themed parties and dont want to do the red, white and blue thing for a kids party.

So I was thinking of doing a Pirates Theme party,
found a bunch of stuff online thats cute.
but figured I would ask around here for any good decorating ideas and stuff etc.

we probably wont really have many kids there, at the most 4 or 5!
but I just love decorating and having everything to corridinate with the theme.

We are going to dress Jack up like a pirate - oops I mean Captian Jack, and I found a bunch of pinata's
and some cake recipes.

suggestions would be great you girls are all so ingenious.

I love having something to plan and maybe it will keep my mind off TTCing .

thanks
