St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than by throwing an epic party? Even if you don’t normally celebrate this occasion, it would seem everyone could use a little luck of the Irish these days, so it might be a good year to start!  Let’s  take a look at some ways to ensure your St. Paddy’s Day bash is a roaring success.


Embrace the Green 

It wouldn't be St. Patrick's Day without plenty of green! Deck out your party space with green decorations such as balloons, streamers, and banners. Why not sport a shamrock themed t-shirt?  It’s the perfect way to get into the festive spirit and set the mood for some fun.  And nothing will set the tone more than placing friendly Irish gnomes around the party so your guests can mingle with your little green friends.

Irish-Inspired Menu

Treat your guests to a taste of Ireland with a delicious menu featuring traditional Irish fare. Serve up classics like corned beef and cabbage, shepherd's pie, and Irish soda bread. Keep the green theme going by serving plenty of green treats like spinach dip, green cupcakes, and mint chocolate desserts.

St. Paddy’s Day Drinks

Get creative with your drink menu by offering a selection of St. Patrick's Day-themed cocktails. Serve up Irish favorites like Guinness and Irish whiskey, or mix up festive green cocktails like shamrock shakes, Irish mules, and green beer. Set up a DIY drink station where guests can customize their own drinks with fun garnishes and mix-ins. Consider using festive wine charms or shamrock themed glassware.

Put the Irish Jig in Your Playlist 

Set the mood with some lively Irish music. Why not put together a playlist with Celtic classics and tunes by Irish musicians? Music has a magical way of getting everyone into the holiday spirit. Encourage guests to dance and sing along for a memorable celebration.

Fun & Games 

Keep the party going with some fun St. Patrick's Day-themed games and activities. Set up an Irish backdrop with props like leprechaun hats, rainbow wigs, and pots of gold for hilarious photo opportunities. Organize a scavenger hunt with Irish-themed clues, a leprechaun dice game, or host a trivia contest to test everyone's general knowledge and throw in a bit of Irish culture and history.

Keep the Green Going

Enhance the Irish atmosphere with themed party supplies. Stock up on a green table runner, plates, cups, and napkins to tie the theme together. Consider adding some extra flair with Irish flags, banners, or a light up window shamrock to add pops of color throughout the party space.
