Let’s get ready to paddy! Time to rack your closet for green and start searching for that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. St. Patrick’s day is quickly approaching, and GigMasters has a few tips to make sure you’ll be more than lucky while throwing your St. Patty's Day party.

 

Food & Drinks

Luckily enough, St. Patrick's Day is all about traditions and there are plenty of party favorites you can serve to keep your guests happy and full. Start by putting out Irish Soda Bread, and other on theme apps like leprechaun popcorn, spinach and artichoke dip, and a green veggie platter. For your main course, there is nothing more traditional than corned beef and cabbage. Check out our Pinterest board for fun dessert inspiration like these amazing over-the-rainbow cupcakes!

If you’re the hostess with the mostess and want to enjoy your company without the stresses of cooking, hire a caterer to cater the party to perfection. As for the booze, (St. Patty’s day’s main attraction!) keep on brand with alcohol made in Ireland like Jameson and Guinness. For more themed fun, browse our Pinterest Board for specialty drinks or hire a bartender to craft them for you! 

Decorations

It's all about the green! Everyone must wear green and go crazy with shamrock and leprechaun accessories. Green table cloths, balloons, banners - the more the better. Check out our Pinterest Board for more fun party decoration inspiration! 

 

Entertainment & Extras

St. Patrick's Day is the perfect excuse to throw a wild party. The first step is to make your guests feel like they’re in Ireland by hiring a bagpiper or an Irish band. Now that the mood is set with the music, hire Irish step dancers to keep the party sham-rockin' all night. Give your guests something to remember the party by and create your own DIY area or hire a photo booth with silly St. Patrick's day themed props.
