St. Patrick’s Day Party

St Patrick’s Day Party -modern and simple ideas for decor and a festive St Patrick’s Day Bar Cart for entertaining.

It’s almost St Patrick’s Day, and today I’m bringing you some inspiration for celebrating with our St Patrick’s Day Party.  This beautiful tablescape is the perfect modern, and simple party decor.

Moss Table Runner

I started out with this amazing moss table runner.  I went hunting for moss in the forest and found some great pieces.

They were really wet, since it’s spring, so I dried them out to create this beautiful runner for the table.

You could also pick some up at the craft store.

I wanted to make sure that my newly refinished dining table didn’t get damaged at all, so I started out with a strip of clear cello wrap to protect the table, and then laid out the moss pieces on top.

I picked up some simple white candles at the dollar store and cut a few holes in the moss where I placed them to make sure they weren’t too tippy.

Along with the candles, I sprinkled some leprechaun gold -aka chocolate coins left over from Christmas stockings.  Yum.

More St Patrick’s Day Party Decor

On the buffet, I added some simple honeycomb balls and paper lanterns for a modern festive feel, along with a little light box message.

St Patrick’s Day Party Bar Cart

I also thought it would be fun to set up a St. Patrick’s Day bar cart.

I love setting up little drink stations like this for a party so guests can help themselves.

On the bar cart, we served some of our Irish favourites -Guinness and Magners Irish Cider.

It’s fun to add a few St Patrick’s Day details, like shamrocks, my “I feel lucky” artwork, and some fun paper straws.

And for some after dinner coffee, we were sure to include some Baileys Irish Cream.

I had so much fun setting up our festive table, and preparing for friends to visit.  

It looked so pretty with all the candles lit!

With a modern festive St Patrick’s Day Party table and decor, life really is a party!
