Are you born on Sept 19? That's Talk like a pirate day. Then you can force everyone to dress AND talk like a pirate. If they don't then give them a sash with Pirate names (like Long John Silver or whatever). Speak in pirate speak - check the speak like a pirate website. It also has lots of interesting piratey stuff.
Noticed in the grocery shop that there's cereals now with johnny depp on them for Pirates. Buy some and stuff.
Dave Barry also has a book "So you want to be a Pirate". check it out for more ideas as well and have fuN!
How about a scavenger hunt game thing?
Really cool idea btw, since i'ts so close to Halloween, I'm sure you can get more Pirate type ideas from a halloween themed store as well. Happy birthday!

Since you are having a pirate themed baby shower maybe you could hand out some fake doubloons, gold necklaces, lotto scratchers as "treasure" or give everyone a can of Goya octopus meat for fun! You could decorate the space with fake palm tress and tropical flowers, fish etc. Puerto Ricans and Italians have a tradition of giving a lace satchel with Jordan almonds inside. You could do the same with fishnet and coin candies and stick a sword cocktail stick in each one.

Cute ideas - I would make a sheet cake and decorate it like a treasure chest - and used all sorts of candies as the jewels on top.
Also - fish net is really cheap and would be cute as table cloth and also to drape over things. Shells as serving dishes would be cute. You could make a virgin rum drink - using a tropical fruit flavored mixer and instead of adding rum - add rum extract (buy in the baking section of grocery store) - they make great drinks!
I would buy some cheap material and tear it up to make sashes or head wraps for everyone to wear. Eye patches - make them out of black craft foam and stapled stretchy cord. Toy pirate swords would be fun. Set up a wooden plank to see who will walk the plank.
Also WalMart sells a pirates of the carribean dice game - like they played in the movie - it comes with four gnarly looking dice cups and skeletal looking dice. It would be fun to play. Chocolate coins for betting would be fun too.
You can get pirate hooks - like 12 for 5.00 from Oriental trading company - go on line to get a catelog or order! Happy birtyday!
