One of the most popular themes at weddings today is pirates. Something about pirates fills weddings with fun and games. From the costumes to the role-playing, there is something for everyone in a pirate-themed wedding. Here are some tips to help you plan your own.

1. Location

The best locations for a pirate wedding would be on the water or beach. Renting a boat to have the wedding on the water would be a great experience as long as you do not have a very large guest list. On the other hand, if you have many guests to invite, having your wedding on the beach would make it easier to accommodate a large reception while still giving the feeling of a pirate theme.

2. Bridal Party

Many wedding attire designers make custom dresses and outfits for pirate themed weddings. You can find elegant wedding dresses that still have the pirate feeling or you can go with the traditional ragged pirate look. Whichever look you choose, there are several key accessories like eye patches for the groomsmen and a captain's hat for the groom.

3. Guest Attire

For a fun and exciting bunch of guests, invite everyone who attends the wedding to dress up like a pirate or wench. This will give your guests the opportunity to really get into the pirate theme and give you an amazing wedding album to look back at years from now. Seeing grandparents and children dressed up alike will be such a fun experience.

4. Games

As any guest would appreciate a fun game at your wedding, try sword fights with plastic swords. These ensure that nobody goes home with anything but minor injuries. You can also incorporate pirate items into a treasure hunt and have a chest full of fun prizes at the end. Any game dealing with treasure and role-play is fun for children and adults, so use your imagination and have fun in the process.

5. Favors

Give your guests something "pirate" to take home with them - like a bag of chocolate gold coins or an eye patch and gold earring. The little accessories can be part of your place settings at the reception and become the favors for guests to take home. This gives you some fun decorations on the tables that will add to the costumes the guests create.

6. Honeymoon

To leave your pirate-themed wedding with a bang, have your honeymoon planned to a tropical island where you can enjoy the beach together. Spending quality alone time on beautiful beaches with tropical animals and birds is the perfect ending to such a fun wedding. Go and explore your love for the tropics and each other.

7. Enjoy Your Mate

Planning a pirate wedding can be so much fun when you think about all the cool details you can put into it. From the costumes to the location, there is nothing boring about a pirate wedding. Enjoy planning your pirate wedding and have a great time on your big day with your mate.

That's the interesting thing about becoming a father. Suddenly you universally have something in common with other people. I can be sitting next to a very straight, humorless businessman or stockbroker type on an airplane and we'll just start talking about kids. And that conversation lasts three or four hours. -- Johnny Depp
