Plastic shamrocks, leprechaun hats, and green beer... snore! St. Patrick's day is a fun holiday to celebrate, but you have to admit it can be a bit cheesy! This year celebrating it can be different! Here are some fun and creative ways to create a posh little Paddy's Day party! After all, it falls on a Saturday this year, so no excuses!
First and foremost, what are you going to eat? Serve up some of these treats that are inspired by the Irish holiday, but not so obvious.

For dessert serve Bailey's tiramisu or ice cream floats made with a stout like Guiness. You could also do root beer for non drinkers or kids.
Drinks can be beer, mojitos, or basil martinis. They can either be homemade or store bought. If you don't want to play bartender all night, purchase a variety of bottled beers like Harp and Smithwicks or pre-made cocktails like Skinny Girl Mojitos. You can still add some flair with these free printable labels or you can make your own. You could also attach them to rainbow colored fruit sodas for a non-alcoholic option. For an added festive touch, garnish mojitos and basil martinis with punched out clovers!

Send guests home with simple favors like bags full or green candy like m&m's and gummi frogs, pouches of chocolate gold coins or cute and useful mini hand sanitizers.
