These decorations and party supplies will have you feeling the luck of the Irish
You don’t necessarily have to be Irish to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, a holiday honoring the patron saint of Ireland. That’s because it’s become an occasion for enjoying good food and drink for anyone who wants to have a good time.
If you’re hosting a St. Patrick’s Day party this year, you’ll need decorations, tools to prepare classic Irish food, drinkware for enjoying beer and other supplies to help everyone get in a festive mood.
In this article: Blowout Fun Inflatable St. Patrick’s Day Gnomes with Rainbow, Glaring St. Patrick’s Day Decoration Pillow Covers and Kaisnova Decorative Shamrock Lights.
What to do for your St. Patrick’s Day party
Getting your guests in the mood to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day all starts with the right decorations. You can greet your friends and family with a St. Patrick’s Day inflatable in your yard or a wreath on your front door. Inside your home, decorative throw pillows, tablecloths, string lights and fun signs with leprechauns, shamrocks and rainbows can also help set the perfect mood.
When planning your St. Patrick’s Day party menu, classic Irish dishes like shepherd’s pie, corned beef and cabbage and Irish stew are sure to be a hit. Sugar cookies cut into shamrock shapes and decorated with green icing are the perfect dessert, too.
And don’t forget the beverages for your party. Irish beer like Guinness and Smithwick’s are perfect for toasting the holiday, but you can serve any beer you like. You may also want to have Irish whiskey on your bar cart for guests who prefer harder alcohol. Irish cream liqueur, like the famous Bailey’s, blends whiskey, cream and vanilla and chocolate flavors, making it ideal for many St. Patrick’s Day cocktails.
