You don’t have to be Irish to enjoy St. Patrick’s Day festivities. But is the holiday about more than wearing green St. Patrick’s Day Costumes? St. Patrick’s Day is an annual feast day, which commemorates the life of Saint Patrick-the patron of Ireland. While it’s an official holiday in Ireland, it’s also a public holiday in: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom and the United States.

1. Say it with shamrocks.

The shamrock, commonly called a clover, is the national symbol of Ireland. No décor for a St. Patrick’s Day party is complete without shamrocks. From wreaths to confetti and from whirls to cutouts, you can use shamrocks to add some pizzazz to any March 17th celebration. Keep in mind that you don’t need to spend a fortune in order to include this iconic plant at your festive event.

2. Be creative.

At first, you may seem limited by the types of St. Patrick’s decorations that you can use. How many ways can you add green to the decorations of your St. Patrick’s Day party, right? The key is to be creative. Use a blend of premade and DIY decorations, to add some variety to the atmosphere. Surf the Net, read magazines and ask friends and relatives for decorating ideas that will wow your partygoers.

In fact, you can find decorations that aren’t of the run of the mill variety. The key is to do your homework in order to throw the best party possible.

3. Don’t leave out the leprechaun.

Along with shamrocks, the leprechaun has become one of the biggest icons of St. Patrick’s Day. Most of us are familiar with what they look like, but what exactly are those little guys? The leprechaun is actually a sort of fairy that originated in Irish folklore. They’re known as short, mischievous characters that are usually wearing green pants, jacket and hat. In American pop culture, the leprechaun has appeared in movies, on cereal boxes and even in professional wrestling rings!

When planning the decorations for your St. Patrick’s Day party, consider including the leprechaun’s image to add some variety. You can find a cornucopia of leprechaun items in party supply stores, or create DIY decorations that include the short people on them. While leprechauns are often portrayed as grumpy little men, you can also find cheerier images that will help to brighten up the room.

4. It’s easy being green.

It goes without saying that green is THE St. Patrick’s Day color. So when choosing St. Patrick Day’s decorations, make sure to include plenty of green. Besides the decorations themselves, you could include green food, ask the guests to wear green outfits and so on. While green isn’t everyone’s favorite color, it certainly has its day on St. Patrick’s Day!

While St. Patrick’s Day isn’t a national holiday in most of the world, it can still be a fun and festive day. Follow these party decorating tips to make a day for the Irish a day for everyone!
