St. Patrick's Day Party at Home
An Open House Party for March 17^th!
 

St. Patrick's Day is almost upon us, and what a great excuse to have a party! Some people like to stay off the roads and away from the bar scene. No problem!  Your house can be a bit of Ireland for a day. So get out the green, pretend you're Irish, eat Lucky Charms (you know, the cereal that has the leprechaun on the front), search for four-leaf clovers, and have a party.

For a great selection of St. Patrick's Day decorations, favors, wearables and more, visit St. Patrick's Day Decorating411.

St. Pats Day Party Invitations

One of those mini-cereal boxes of Lucky Charms. They're cheap—and fun. Open it up, insert a flier with where and when (don't forget the important things like your name and address), and tape it back up. Wrap in brown paper, and mail. On the outside, print: "Invitation enclosed!" and you're all set. Here's an idea of what to say?

You're Invited to A Wee Bit 'o Fun at the _______'s House...
No snakes!
Wear green or paint yourself green—your choice!
Prizes for people who bring four-leaf clovers.

Of course if you are having a larger party, or if you own a bar or restaurant, you might want to consider a personalized St. Patrick’s Day invitation from Party411.com  We’ve added some great new designs this year.  Our ticket invitations are a different way to invite your guests and very effective if you are concerned about crowd control. 

St. Patrick’s Day Hats, Beads and Necklaces

Parties are always way more fun when you can dress up...and St. Pat's Day is one of the best dress-up days of the year! For some great ideas, from hats to beads to green boas and more, visit our St. Patrick’s Day Decorating411.  Wondering how to use some of these great St. Pat’s party supplies?

St. Patrick's Day Party Supplies and Decorations

You can buy the usual decorations like shamrock glitter cutouts, and green and gold balloons for bouquets here and there OR you can “paint the town green” so to speak by adding just a few touches making other party planners green with envy!

At the door (outside or inside if there's room), have a "blarney" stone for people to kiss. Highlight the area with a sign to let everyone know the riches they can gain:

There is a stone there, that whoever kisses,

Oh! He never misses to grow eloquent:

Tis he may clamber to a lady's chamber,

Or become a member of Parliament.

Add some green blarney zone party tape to add color to the area.

Scene setter kits are a fabulous, inexpensive way to decorate a wall.  There’s a  Leprechaun scene setter that will bring good luck to your walls!  And don't stop at the walls, decorate the ceiling using shamrock 3D garland or Irish clover swirls.

If you are at the office, you probably can't have a cocktail (at least openly), so why not indulge yourself with chocolate instead. There are lots of specially wrapped candies around (or just green M&Ms) that will brighten up the table in a fun way. You might want to put a St. Pat’s sequin hat on the table filled with shamrock beads and  necklaces, and a few personalized St. Pat's candy bars.
