Celebrated every year on 17th March, this is the perfect opportunity to gather friends and family for a celebration filled with fun, food, and Irish cheer. Here’s how to throw an unforgettable St. Patrick’s Day party this year.
Add Some Irish Flair
Transform your space into an emerald wonderland by styling your chosen venue with green, orange, and white decorations, to match the Irish flag. Think lucky shamrocks, fairy lights, and even pots of gold scattered around. Adding a fun photobooth corner with props like leprechaun hats, oversized glasses, and rainbow backdrops is a great addition too.
Serve An Irish-Inspired Menu
No St. Patrick’s Day party is complete without delicious Irish eats. Offer guests classic Irish dishes such as colcannon (mash and cabbage), shepherd’s pie, or Irish soda bread and butter. If you’re looking to serve something lighter, choose green-hued snacks like vibrant green salads or tortillas with guacamole, to keep with the theme. St. Patrick’s Day is known for being a boozy affair, so don’t forget the bevvies! Irish whiskey and Bailey’s cocktails are a must, and Guinness should definitely be served.
Dress the Part
Ask your guests to embrace the spirit of the day by wearing green or dressing up as their favorite Irish celebrity or icon. Top marks for those who go full on leprechaun!
Something Special
Make your event stand out with a few unique touches. We love the idea of a ‘Pot o’ Gold’ raffle where guests can win a prize, or handing out sparklers and hosting a countdown to St. Patrick’s Midnight, where everyone will toast to Irish luck and friendship for the rest of the year.
