Need birthday party help

My friend and I are having a combined party for our kids they'll be three and are one week apart...pirates and mermaids at a splash and play.  I found some invite wording online but wasn't crazy about it...any ideas??

 Also because the session is 10a-12n what should we serve?  Brunch? Lunch? Something else? 

We're making two cakes - one pirate one mermaid we found an easy recipe on youtube

Not too many activities b/c its a splash and play but we'll set up a plastic bin filled with bubbles and big wands. 

Should we do a pinata or loot bags?

Pinatas are always fun!  Kids that age love that stuff... plus it counts as an activity.  Love the idea of a bucket full of bubbles for kids to play.  And the theme is very clever... love it.

Here is a blog post about a similar party:  https://pinkandgreenmama.blogspot.com/2010/02/birthday-party-highlights-pirates-and.html

I like that they gave out smaller sand pails as party favors... maybe you can give those for kids to collect their candy.

I love party planning!  : )
