Hey guys! We are thrilled to be back to our party in a pocket series. This time we’re sharing all things simple St. Patrick’s Day party ideas, with a side of free printables! Because this colorful little party is worth planning for.
We brought in fun hues for the colors of the rainbow, along with four leaf clovers and basically, just about anything kitschy-fun.
All the little touches were a fun little addition, if we do say so ourselves. Here’s a little bit of what we used.

Supplies:
• paper plates – color wheel plates + combined with glass ones {similar} from here.
• napkins + silverware – we added a touch of emerald with napkins from here + a touch of gold in the silverware from here.
• glasses – we adore the touch of sparkle they added with a hint of that St. Patrick’s flair! From here.
• extras – blue metal cake stand + white metal cake stands + bowls
• colorful additions
We also loved pairing it with this awesome rainbow streamer set
And this garland.
We love that all of these things are reusable for future parties!
For Sweet Treats:
• sodas – We had a collection of vintage {and hipster} sodas – which you can find at your local grocery or cracker barrel, of all places, if you have one of those near you.
• cupcakes – these are simple butter cream frosting/vanilla cupcakes from our grocery’s bakery. We topped them with these sour straws and marshmallows {we used clouds for each end} from the recipe linked below.
• gumballs – We love using these at parties, and definitely regulate the amount that our kids can have since they actually taste good. They add great color to just about any theme!
• rainbow chex mix – this simple recipe is super fun and easy to make.
Ours ended up with a bit more white chocolate, and a little less powdered sugar all in the name of we’re not professional chefs. But we can assure you they’re yummy.
• shamrock lollipops – we used a combo of these candy molds + green jolly ranchers + these sticks.
{You’ll need about 26-ish green jolly ranchers so two big packets should do the trick once sorted.}
Unwrap + crush jolly ranchers. Fill generously.
Bake at low temp {200 degrees} for about 7 minutes, but keep an eye on the oven.
Bring them out and place your sticks. Chill in fridge for about 25 minutes.
Carefully remove and enjoy!
We think that the free printables are what make this party so fun, if we do say so ourselves.
From invitations to place savers to menu labels, stickers and more… we always try to provide flexible files so the possibilities really are endless.

• invites – get them here – they fit a standard small envelope
• place savers – you can also use these for menu items – here – they fold in the center.
• clover confetti – these are hand painted by us and make great little additions!
