Celebrate St Patrick’s Day

Whether or not you are Irish, St Patrick’s Day can be a fun holiday to celebrate. And since it’s the only major holiday in March, you sure don’t want to miss out on an opportunity to have a party! So get out your green clothes, and lets get planning!

If you want to make party planning easy, consider having your party at an Irish Pub or Restaurant. Keep in mind that many of these are likely to be having their own parties on St. Patrick’s Day, so if you want to have a separate event, you may have to have your party on another day and you will definitely want to book your event pretty far in advance. Here are some possibilities:

Tempe

Even if you don’t have your event at an Irish Pub or restaurant, you can cater your food from one. Traditional St. Patrick’s Day fare includes corn beef hash, potatoes, and Irish ale.

If you are not having your party at an Irish restaurant, you can still decorate for the occasion. Pick lots of green. Check your local dollar or party stores for inspiration. You can find banners, table cloths, paper plates, balloons, and more all with a St. Patrick’s Day theme. If you want floral arrangements, pick ones with shamrocks and lots of green.

Considering having an Irish Dance? Book the band early, because this is the time of year that all of the Irish bands are busiest (and charge the most too). You can also get a DJ and play prerecorded music, but having a live band can make any event extra special.

If you need a dance floor, tents, or any other equipment for your party, be sure to contact AZ Party Rents.
