Sarah Beeson’s daughter and co-author Amy Beeson shared her tips for planning three-year-old daughter Ava’s pirate themed birthday party with Prima Baby.
Amy recommended choosing a theme for birthday parties to “help you organise all aspects of the party from invitations to decorations, games and food.
Amy Beeson, 33, from London is mum to Ava, 3 and co-author of The New Arrival £7.99, Harper Element). She says, ‘We had a pirate theme for Ava’s last birthday party, which we used for the invitations, bunting, tableware and activities – for example, we had a treasure hunt in the garden for pretend jewels and coins. We made a picnic table into a ship and Ava’s dad was a dastardly pirate who announced the games! We invited six children and they all dressed up.'”
The Pirates had a great day
