Céad mile fáilte is Gaelic for “a hundred thousand welcomes,” and this is the sentiment behind every great St. Patrick's Day party. With a little planning and imagination, it's easy to throw a St. Patrick's Day party to please revelers of all ages if you take a cue from the Irish themselves, who have a voracious appetite for food, drink, fellowship and fun.
St. Patrick's Day Party Invitations and Decorations
Evites is the simplest way to plan, organize and keep track of the guest list. Choose one of the many available St. Patrick's Day themes or make your own invitation at the site. It's as easy as entering a list of email addresses and writing a few short details. Encourage your guests to wear Irish-themed costumes. This adds festive ambience and gets people talking.
Decorations can be simple or over the top. Balloons are a great place to start because you can never have too many. Blow up green and gold ones and pile them in a corner. Put a few helium balloons on the mailbox and let some others dangle from the ceiling in the main party room. String green lights around the walls or over the railings of porches. Buy or make cardboard cutouts of shamrocks, leprechauns, fairies, rainbows, and pots of gold.
