This post is all about the best St. Patrick’s Day party ideas you have to recreate.

If you’re planning a St. Patrick’s Day party this list will give you all the inspiration you need to throw a festive and unique party!

My party guides tend to swing towards budget-friendly and DIY which is exactly what you will find in this list. 

There’s no need to spend a bunch of money to create stunning St. Patrick’s Day tablescapes, yummy festive food, and good memories. 

Fun St. Patrick’s Day Party Ideas

1. Lucky charms desserts

I love adding lucky charms to my St. Patrick’s Day desserts! It is a fun way to break up all of the green.

I also love that it brings a nostalgic touch to the party as well. Sprinkle them on top of Rice Krispy treats, on sugar cookies, or across a cake.

2. DIY shamrock backdrop

Skip the pesky balloon backdrops and opt for a shamrock one made out of paper!

This will take some time to create but all you need is a stencil of shamrocks and some construction paper. You can always make a stencil out of cardboard.

Save time by layering the paper so you don’t have to cut them individually. This makes the perfect budget-friendly backdrop for photos!

3. Gold candy and coins scattered on your St. Patrick’s Day tablescape

Don’t forget to add some gold to your tablescape! Scatter gold chocolates around your table to bring in the lepercan theme!

4. Rainbow jello cups

Recreate these adorable rainbow jello cups with candy and whipped cream for the clouds!

Desserts in a cup are a great option for large parties since people can grab and go.

5. Mini four-leaf clover pots as table decor

Bring a natural feel to your St. Patrick’s Day spread by incorporating fresh clovers!

Find cute dishes or pots, add a bit of soil and water, and plop in some clovers. This decor will give your table a light airy feel.

6. Rainbow napkin rings

Pick up some rainbow ribbon to add a colorful touch to your napkins!

It’s easy to go overboard with green and gold but rainbows are fun to incorporate in St. Patrick’s Day party decor as well.

7. Green charcuterie board for an appetizer

You can’t host a party without a charcuterie board!

Collect all of the green foods you can find to create a beautiful and tasty festive grazing board.

8. Rainbow or ombre green layered cake

Add a surprise to the inside of your cake with either ombre green layers or rainbow layers!

9. Rainbow fruit charcuterie board

Copy this adorable rainbow made out of fresh fruit. Don’t forget to spritz a light layer of lemon across it to keep your fruit fresh.

Adding toothpicks with a paper shamrock on the top would be a super cute touch as well!

10. Green lentil candle centerpieces

You probably already have all of the materials to make these stunning centerpieces at your home!

All you need are dried green lentils or peas, vases, and candles. If you are having a dinner party around St. Patrick’s Day time these are an elegant decor idea that are super cheap!

11. Rainbow candy party favors

Send your guests home with an adorable and sweet party favor.

I think a jar of gold candy or rainbow Skittles is the perfect sweet treat to thank your guests for coming.

12. Upcycled green bottles for tulips

Head to the thrift store to pick up some green glass bottles. They make the perfect festive container for spring flowers like tulips!

13. Gold accents

Aside from gold candy, mix in some gold accent pieces for an elevated look.

I love gold utensils, flower pots, and dishware. It’s all about balance when putting together festive table decor.
