Throwing a St Pattys Day party...What are your best ideas?

Honestly, be sure you've got lots for people to eat as irish fare is made to go great with beer/ale.  We always had great St. Patty parties!  The right mix of people and a stern lecture to leave firearms and moonshine at home (neither were listened to with more than politeness ;)  In any case, irish stew, corned beef and cabbage, irish soda bread....all spectacular fare for such an event and you don't have to do it all.  Lots of people welcome the opportunity to show off their best dish or are happy to help with your menu.  Good food, Good drink, Good friends.  That's how to celebrate St. Patrick's day!

buy a few cases of Coke, about 4 large pizzas, and have some games or music around the house. I personally recommend Jimmy Buffett for a party atmosphere.

set a date, have several in mind. Call or send out invitations. \n \nThree to four weeks should be plenty of time. Gather all non perishable items, napkins, plates, pop etc at least two weeks before. make menu two weeks before.  \n\nOne week to go- make things that can be made ahead like dips and sauces. Most desserts can be frozen no problem. \n\ntwo-three days ahead- do all shopping for food, decorations. \n\nOne day before- prepare veggies ie; corn on cob, peel potatoes, but keep cover with water or will turn brown. make up burgers( if having) wrap well to prevent cross contamination). Now is the time to prepare any thing you wish to marinate. Remember to put any raw meat products on the bottom shelf of your fridge, in a sealed container.\n\nMorning of bbq, mix salad, but dont dress until last minute. Make up a cooler of ice and chill the drinks. \nSet table buffet style, believe me its the easiest. \nPrepare main courses, thaw any frozen items. \n\nCould use some flowers and candles to make the tables pretty. Always a nice touch. Or a bowl of water with some floating candles.\nHang little white lights or lanterns for some ambience.\n\nNext step, sit back, relax and enjoy the party.

Unless you want to go w/a St. Patties Day theme, you would probably do best w/ a dusty rose or some other color.  W/ the sage green in might be cool to go w/ a bold color, like royal blue or purple.  Congrats!

I'm planning my first block party also and I've been advised to do the following:\n\n1.  Make flyers and drop off at the front door (you're not allowed to leave flyers in a mailbox so be warned!)\n\n2.  Ask everyone to \n    - BYOB (Bring your own beer) or soda, etc.\n    - a dish OR enough meat (hot dogs, hamburgers, etc.)for their family and one other family\n    - their own chairs if they want\n\nThen get with a couple of the neighbors and ask them to bring a grill to cook the meat.  \n\nYou could also incur the costs of some of the items (meat, drinks, etc.) and ask for donations.\n\nMOST IMPORTANTLY!  Pray for great weather!

The best and cheapest is having the party in your home.Have some of your friends help out with the menu and decorations.Play adult games and maybe hire someone to dance for her(he doesn't have to strip down).Invite all her friends and family females and ask them to bring a naughty gift for her honeymoon.Buy alot of those party cameras to give out so that every one can take pictures for her memory book.Just have fun and good luck I'm sure you'll do great.

How about something simple and to the point, like "Seating is limited- no guests please." ? \n\nGood luck with your celebration!
