Shamrock wreath
Adorn your front door with a St. Patty’s-inspired wreath. First, purchase a grapevine wreath to use as the base. You can find this at your local art-supplies store. Next, fill the wreath with emerald-green flowers. Add in some Bells of Ireland, as this particular plant symbolizes luck. Simply thread the flowers through the vine until the wreath is completely filled. Voila! You just made your own wreath. Hang it on your door to welcome your guests to the party.

Irish cocktails
It’s not a St. Patrick’s Day bash unless Irish whiskey is involved. Wow your guests with a traditional Irish cocktail that dates back to 1927. This classic drink is a combination of Irish whiskey, maraschino, orange curate, and a dash of absinthe and Angostura for some extra oomph. Top it off with a garnish such as a lemon twist or couple of olives. This cocktail ends sweet, so it pairs well with salty appetizers.

Tasty green snacks
In keeping with the green theme, serve appetizers that are all shades of this festive color. Put out some guacamole and spinach-artichoke dip with broccoli, snap peas, celery and green-tined chips. Go out on a limb and try making cilantro edamame hummus. Don’t forget to serve cabbage and corned beef for your main meal. After all, it’s a traditional Irish dish!

Pot-of-gold party favors
Bestow luck upon your guests, and present them with a pot of gold at the end of the party. Fill a mason jar with green, gold and white candies. Tie a ribbon around each jar with the name of your guests written on a shamrock made of green construction paper. Just be sure the leprechauns don’t get to the candy jars before your guests do!
