Top O’The Mornin’ To Ya folks. It’s Melissa O’Newell comin’ atcha from the
Emerald Isle…well not really but it got you in the mood, right? With the LONG Winter we are having across the US, I
found myself LONGING for the next holiday to celebrate…something to cheer
about…make us all smile. What better holiday than St. Patrick’s Day!
It gives me great joy to celebrate with our
children. Remember it does not have to be a party of 10 to kick up the heals
and do the jig.
Today I bring you The Shamrock Party of Three! (afterall
shamrocks have 3 leaves…) I created a simple little tablescape for our
children to get them in the St. Patty’s Day mood.
We are really doing well on our “less is more” motto
when it comes to sugar. I have vowed
this year not to have a ton of sugary sweets at the party tables anymore. So far, mission accomplished!
For this
party, I decided to mix the dark chocolate (organic,
fair trade no less) with some salty pretzels. It fills all the yummy salty
and sweet flavors at the same time. The
kids won’t miss the lollipops, candybars, gumballs at all. (watch for the quick tutorial on these
cuties)
It was easy to dress up these cellophane bags using
the Kids Party Squares from Eye Candy Event Details’ Etsy shop. After trimming them, I stuck them to a little
larger green tag and tied them with some green festive bakers twine to finish
off these “goodie bags”.
Some other fun items that the children will be
getting….themed tattoos, rainbow rings and some beaded necklaces.
Another way I used these St. Patrick’s Day party squares was to trim them and stick them to green foil cupcake papers (opened
up). I love the way the foil shines with
the party squares.
I know the children will appreciate some spring
colors in the house and the fun of St. Patrick’s Day!
Until next time – Party On Friends and don’t’ forget
to Kiss the Irish!
