Do you want to try something different? Consider going for an Irish Pub theme and dress up for the occasion by asking your guests to wear argyle.

Provide drinks such as the classic Guinness beer, Murphy’s Irish Red Ale, or mix your own signature cocktail using this recipe for “green leprechaun”. Make it an alcohol-free event by serving a green drink like Hawaiian Punch’s Green Berry Rush or add limes to a lemonade pitcher instead. Activities Play Celtic music in the background to get the party started! Consider activities such as a limerick contest, dartboard competition, and watching movies like “Leap Year”, “Gangs of New York”, “The Departed”, or “Ondine”.
