Posh Party: St. Patrick’s Day Celebration

March 11| posted in - cocktails, entertaining inspiration, food and drinks, st. patricks

Well, wouldn’t you know it, it’s time to put on your pretty party green outfit, mix up some Irish cocktails and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. St. Patrick’s Day is next Wednesday March 17th, but most of the celebrations will begin this weekend with the parades. So to help you with your planning for the holiday, we’ve put together some ideas that will make your party a success.

For a beautiful table setting, I would suggest keeping it simple and chic. Here’s an idea for a beautiful and festive tablecloth and napkin (above). Make a striking tablecloth out of chartreuse raw silk or cotton and for an added touch of color, wrap white napkins with a square of green netting or sheer organza before inserting into a napkin ring. Another great idea for your table top is a simple gray linen napkin and a shamrock leaf (below).

For some Shamrock Luck (below) – Display little pots o’ luck for St. Pat’s Day by planting shamrocks in jars, cups, or bowls. For more St. Patrick’s Day inspiration,

For an Irish Inspired Cocktail Menu here’s some fab options:
