“What began as a religious feast day
for the patron saint of Ireland has become an international festival
celebrating Irish culture with parades, dancing, special foods and a whole lot
of green.” - History.com
Isn’t that the truth! Though the official start of spring is still
a few days away, in my opinion, St. Patrick’s Day marks the beginning of
seasonal change and reason to celebrate all things GREEN!
It doesn’t take the luck of the Irish
to plan a fun St. Patrick’s Day party.
Celebrate with green inspired décor, tasty recipes and fun craft
ideas. Here are some ideas to inspire
you:

Food
MarthaStewart.com
is my go-to resource for recipes! These
are a few of my favorite Irish treats:
Irish Soda Bread, Irish Coffee Cupcakes, Irish Blue Cheese Fondue and
Colcannon.
Drinks
Indulging
in green beer is the tradition in many homes and pubs, but in case you are not
a fan of beer, here are some “green” inspired drinks that are sure to be a hit:
IrishJulep – a light green cocktail that blends Amaro, Irish whiskey, simple syrup,
mint leaves and sprigs and crushed ice.
IrishLady – is the perfect blend of champagne, midori melon liqueur and orange
juice.
BagpipersMelody – this refreshing drinks calls for two ingredients: whiskey and green Crème de Menthe
Crafts
Use
scrapbook paper in different shades of plain green and printed paper to make
rosettes and a St. Patty’s day wreath! I especially love this one by Sugar BeeCrafts.
These
rainbow pots of gold filled with chocolates are so easy to make and perfect to
get your kids involved in. All you need
are small terra cotta pots, acrylic paints in a variety of colors, paint
brushes, paint trays and paper towels.
