I have finally decided what I want to do for our pirate party favors (pirate packaged homemade play dough from Etsy seller in piratey colors). These work out to about $3.50 per kid. That takes up my entire favor budget. I was hoping to supply pirate hats/eye patches too. This is swim party, so I don't know how long they would even leave those on for. I did see some pirate hats at the dollar store that I could get just to have SOMETHING. Would you expect to get a hat/patch at a pirate party?

We sent Evites, so I could "remind" them to come dressed in pirate garb in an email.
