Get those sparkly table place things they are metallic and they usually have some wires coming out of them. What about putting large confetti pieces on the table.

heave ho A traditional Gaelic game originally played with a hay sack and pitchfork in the Irish countryside now can be enjoyed using a spatula right from your kitchen drawer. Ingredients Clothesline Crossbar Paper bag Newspapers or Tissue Paper Spatula To Play Arrange an area with a clothesline or crossbar through a door way or across one end of the room to pitch a sack across. Make a sack out of a paper lunch bag stuffed with newspapers or tissue paper. Everyone lines up and tries to heave the sack across the line using the spatula. The person who succeeds the most times out of 10 tries wins the game. irish jig dance off We may not know how to do the Irish Jig, but we do know how to dance or at least try. An Irish Jig Dance Off gets everyone moving to classic Irish Folk songs. Ingredients Green Paper Markers Scissors Irish Music Shamrock Necklace To Play Clear off an area big enough for all of your guests. Cut out shamrocks and write numbers on each one, if using. Or give everyone a Shamrock Necklace. Bring or drag everyone onto the dance floor, then start the music. You can play some traditional Irish tunes found by clicking here or download some songs from the Itunes Music Store, if you have access to it or a trip to a music store is always worthwhile. Everyone dances, jigs, hops, and twists until they can’t anymore. The last 3 or 4 people on the dance floor win a prize. You can also award prizes to the best and of course the worst dancers. And of course there is always a good game of darts! http://www.party411.com/PlanYourParty/Holiday/StPatricksDay/StPatricksDayPartyGames.aspx

Food Ideas: Reuben sandwiches - corned beef, swiss, and sauerkraut on rye with Russian dressing Punch - Sprite, 7UP, or Sierra Mist with limeade and green sherbet Potato Soup Chips with Dill dip Shepherd's Pie - tons of recipes available online Potato Pancakes for breakfast Oatmeal (you can sweeten it and add dry fruit) TASTE OF HOME usually puts out a St. Patty's recipe booklet that you'll find in the checkout at the grocery store. Here's their website: http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Holiday---Celebration-Recipes/St--Patrick-s-Day-Recipes Decorate the party space with bells and white calla lilies. The Bells of Ireland bring in good luck, and the lilies represent beauty. Activities: Watch "The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns." It was a favorite for my friends and me when we were in high school. Really romantic - it's basically Romeo and Juliet with leprechauns, but a happy ending. Paint T-shirts - use Shamrock stamps/stencils. Everyone can put a design on everyone else's shirt. Hand out green carnations/foam shamrocks/candy at a nursing home - you can all dress in fun St. Patrick's outfits and make the residents' day.
