St Patricks Day!!?

Question

We are throwing an afternoon party on St Patricks day, what things shoudl we do? Food wise? Drink wise? Games wise? Music Wise? Any hints (by the way there is going to be only us 2 that are actually irish going to it!)

Answer 1

Lucky charms,green kool-aid and bagpipes.and a guy in a leprechaun suit!

Answer 2

Corned Beef & Cabbage w/ boiled new potatoes are Tradition. This is a bit much, so you can still serve finger food, that might be similar:
Corned Beef on small round rye w/ mustard or horseradish
Cole Slaw (it's cabbage)
Chips (potatoe's)

Drink : Beer, Bailey's Creme,
Non-Alchoholic: Ginger Ale, Sprite, and don't forget Diet pop!

Music: U2, River Dance, The Cranberry's, Classical Harp & BagPipe Music/Celtic. Galiec Music

Games: Trivia (some about St. Patrick Day). Have every one jot down an Irish Theme poem, and have them fold it in and put it in a Pot, then pass it around. Then let people pick one out and read it.

Answer 3

Suggestions for music: anything by the Chieftains - the Chieftains play traditional Irish music. If you want the "American" version of what Irish music is, try Dennis Day (McNamara's Band, Danny Boy, etc).

Food- anything. If you are planning on serving alcohol, maybe some finger food or snack food (like a relish tray).

Alcohol- Green beer is a big thing on St. Pat's Day.
There is a non-alcoholic beer "O'Doul's" that may o.k. (I am not a beer drinker).

For those who don't drink alcohol- try a green punch- maybe with some 7 Up, Limeade, or something like that. When I grew up, my mom put sherbet in the punch- so a green/lime sherbet may be fun.

For games- you can look up Irish Trivia on the computer and ask your guests the questions. Prizes could be simple - like an Irish pin or green socks (something silly). You can forgo the prizes and just play for fun.

Answer 4

Eh....2?.....a party?
You should get out in Dublin for the parade and all the other shenanigans that weekend. Go to www.stpatricksfestival.ie theres loads to do and a lot of it is free
fireworks display on the sunday night too
If you really have to stay at home you should have a taditional meal of corned beef mashed potatoes curly kale andan irish coffee afterwards.
Theres bound to be some diddly idi stuff ntv but you really should go out for the day and join in the craic

Answer 5

It's the one time of the year you can have green beer. Have that, with some Irish music. Traditional Irish food is corn beef hash and I think sour kraut, I'm not sure if you want to serve that, though.

Answer 6

The funny thing about food is, I often see people serve food that's not really Irish, but is Irish-American. I say, google up some authentic Irish recipes and try them out.

Answer 7

I've got a lot of drinks recommended in an article I wrote (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/145718/top_10_saint_patricks_day_drinks.html). Green Machine Punch is the best - vodka, limeade and sherbet.

Answer 8

Get some beer and green die.They should have a green chips.
