Whether you're Irish or not
(in fact, St. Patrick himself wasn't), St. Patrick's Day is
a great excuse to throw a lively party. It doesn't matter if
your name starts with an 'O', if you have green eyes, or if
you have kissed the Blarney Stone, everyone can enjoy the
spirit of St. Patrick's Day. Decorating for a St. Patrick's
Day bash is easy - use green, green, and more green! |
Luck
of the Irish Party Ideas
Here are a few
party ideas & decorating tips to help you get started thinking like
the Irish!
The key to pulling off a coordinated
event: Evoke your theme throughout the affair. Whether that theme is as
general as a season or a feeling, or as specific as a special flower, it should be the subtle thread that ties
everything together. Your location, invitations, flowers, menu,
cake, and favors should all cleverly reflect one common concept.
Then, get as creative as you can!
If creativity is your
thing, here is an idea for a unique and fun invite: Purchase
Green Carnations
and cut a strip of rainbow-colored paper
or a shamrock to write your details on and attach it to the
carnation. Tell your guests "With any Luck O' the Irish, you will
find your Leprechaun here!" Your friends will flood to your
"makeshift pub" for a good time!
Setting the Mood:
Celebrate St. Patrick's
Day with a gathering that's all Irish. Set the mood with lively
Irish Party Music , great
Decorations
, and have plenty of these
Fun Wearables on hand for your guests to pick from as they
arrive. Your guests will feel Irish in an instant!
Decorating Ideas:
Start by
hanging a
Custom St. Patrick's Day Banner
with your special message above the entryway.
Decorate for your St
Patrick's Day party with ease with our "St.
Patricks Day Scene Setter Decorations" or our
St. Patrick's Day Decorating Kit
and save money too! The perfect way to convert your party
room into an Irish scene is to mix and match with all of our great

Whenever you hang things
from the ceiling people expect a party - so get them all excited
with
Shamrock Lights,
Irish Clover Swirls (24" metallic dangling decorations),
Shamrock Cascade Column,
Shamrock 3d Garland
,
or

these over your buffet table or dance floor for added impact.
Decorate your doorway
with a 8'
Shamrock Door Curtain
and show your colors. Then add some life
to your front windows with this
Shamrock Glitter Cutout.
Table
Decorations
For your tables, stick
with more green! If you don't have a green tablecover in the linen
closet - no problem, use a
Green Plastic Tablecover
, or a
bright green vinyl backed paper tablecover. If your in
the Cypress, TX area, we rent linens for all occasions, visit us at
www.rentpartylinens.com
For your centerpieces,
purchase a round clear glass cylinder vase ( 8", 10", or 12"
height). Make sure opening at the top of the vase is about 3 1/2
inches. Place St. Patrick's Day Stickers on the outside of the glass
cylinder, then take a piece of white paper and line the inside of
each cylinder. Add an oasis cage (same width as top of vase) to the
top of the vase. Purchase several dozen white carnations from your
local floral outlet. You can add green color to white carnations by
making a simple dye solution. To make your dye solution, dissolve
one ounce of food coloring in one pint of warm water. Then add one
teaspoon of sugar. Place the dye solution in a clear glass vase. Cut
end of stem under water & then immerse the fresh cut flower stems in
about three inches of dye solution. Remove the flowers from the dye
solution when the desired color is achieved. This could take
anywhere from one to 24 hours. When the carnations are ready, wash
the stem ends under running water and cut the stems again as you
place them into the oasis cage to make the arrangement. Cut your
stems so that they are only about 2 inches long, then push them into
the oasis cage. Continue adding flowers until the entire cage is
covered. For a whimsical touch tie some green or white feather
together with floral wire and stick them down into the top of the
flowers. (Products for this arrangement are available at craft &
floral supply stores).
Tie napkins up with
Shamrock Tinsel Garland
for a festive display.
