St. Patrick’s Day party plans!
St. Patrick’s day is here! And if you’re in need of some last minute, stress free party ideas that will wow your kiddos and your guests, we’ve got you covered! Here’s a list that we’ve compiled that will make your St Patty’s party one to remember:
1. Get festive with your food!
Charcuterie boards are a great way to make a festive spread for your guests. Make a beautiful spread filled with Irish cheeses, corned beef, pastrami, green fruits and veggies, crackers, and more!
Prepare several other appetizers that incorporate some Irish classics, like beer cheese and soft pretzels, corn beef and cabbage sliders, and soda bread biscuits.
2. It’s a lovely day for a Guinness (or a green craft cocktail!)
Serve up some themed cocktails that your guests will LOVE! This article from delish.com has a list of 38 St. Patty’s Day cocktails, ranging from boozy shamrock shakes and Irish coffee, to shamrocka-ritas and Irish mules.
Check out the fabulous Green Cucumber Gimlet that we made to zhuzh up our own festivities!
And, don’t forget to stock up on the Guinness!
3. Bring on the Dessert!
Sweeten your St Patty’s Day with some fun desserts! Dessert is the perfect way to get creative for any event you host, especially St Patty’s Day. We recommend whipping up some green velvet cupcakes, or make Lucky Charms rice crispy treats— they’re magically delicious!!
4. Don’t Forget Decor!
You can’t have a party without fabulous décor! As you may know, we LOVE a fun balloon arch, and this one is perfect for St. Patty’s Day. Your guests will have a super fun photo op to take pics with each other and share it to their social medias.
Add themed elements to your table, like as tablecloths, shamrock garland, festive napkins, and green tableware. Or, for a more simple and elegant look, we recommend placing transparent green bud vases filled with a simple white flower and greenery throughout the table!
To top it all off, find a basket that you probably already have laying around your house somewhere. Fill it with all kinds or accessories for your guests to wear when they arrive—shamrock sunglasses, green beads, and more! It’s a small detail that will go a long way to make sure everyone is festive!!
5. Grab & Go Ball Pit
Our last recommendation will really help you zhuzh up your St. Patty’s Day celebration! Rent one of our Grab & Go Ballpits for a full day of fun! We also offer custom Grab & Go balloon garlands and backdrops as well for a budget friendly and festive celebration!
