1 Birthday Party Help.

My son’s 1st birthday is coming up (5 months, but I’m an early planner and like to buy things in advance), and I’m trying to get some ideas for foods, decorations, etc. We have decided that the theme is going to Pirates. Anyone have any good ideas to go along with this theme - remember it’s for a 1 year old not an adult.
