St. Patrick’s Day Party

St. Patrick’s Day

Can you believe March is already here?! I know for a lot of you there’s still snow on the ground, but as usual, it’s sunny in Sacramento! ;) Once March rolls around, it’s not only time for Shamrock Shakes (and yes, I’ve had quite a few by now), but it’s also time to celebrate that spring is just around the corner! I am so excited about this St. Patrick’s Day Party from our friend Lauren from Going for Grace. Between the simple pots of gold and the greenery, I just can’t wait to celebrate another St. Patrick’s Day with friends and family!

 

So many exciting days come once March hits – Mardi Gras, the first day of spring, and of course St. Patrick’s Day! I think a lot of us get intimidated by hosting a party, when we should just be focused on having fun with our guests. So, today I wanted to share with you an easy way to throw a fun St. Patrick’s Day party! I love that you can put this party together in just a few minutes as long as you have the right pieces. Here are some things to look for when planning your St. Patrick’s Day soiree!

Table Runner

Greenery as a table runner may be my new obsession. I love the way that it makes the table pop, especially when the holiday revolves around the color green! There are multiple ways that you could create this look. You can go with faux greenery or opt for the real thing. For this table runner I actually used five faux boxwood place mats and connected them down the center of the table. Another option is to use fresh greenery from your local flower shop and create your own by layering down the center of the table. I chose to use the faux greenery because I knew I would want to use this idea for future spring parties as well!

Pot of Gold

My favorite part of this party are the “pots of gold.” I mean, how precious, right?! True to the St. Patrick’s Day theme, these pots of gold make the whole tablescape. Simply find a few footed soup bowls, preferably with handles, and fill them to the brim with gold wrapped candies. So easy! Now you have adorable centerpieces ready to go. Feel free to also spread a few around the base of the bowls for an overflowed look!

St. Patrick’s Day Decorations

The final piece that you need for your St. Patrick’s Day party is fun headbands! I mean, think about it… Who doesn’t have fun when they’re wearing a holiday headband?! You guys already know that one of my favorite places to look for fun holiday party pieces is the Target dollar section. I found these adorable headbands in this section and love how they bring a bit of fun to each place setting! Trust me, when your guests arrive they will know exactly what they are supposed to do with them!
