15 Must-Have St. Patrick’s Day Party Decorations

If you're one of those people who will take any excuse to have a party, then mark your calendar for March 17, because St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner. To help you get started planning your bash, I've compiled 15 must-have St. Patrick's Day party decor items rounded up below for you. That's right, get your hands on a few of these gloriously Irish goodies and maybe a couple pints of Guinness, and you are basically good to go.

If you want to up the ante a bit, don't hold back your creativity. Setting up a photo booth wall is never a bad idea, nor are goodie bags filled with candy (why limit all that fun stuff to the kids!?). Green garland, cupcake toppers, and shamrock-inspired straws are also great for getting bonus points on the party hosting front.

But enough chit chat already, it's time for you to start stocking up on golden candy coins and all things green. The next big holiday is a ways off (yeah, nobody wants to wait until July 4th to have their next themed party), so don't miss out on this one. Go ahead, be Irish for a day. I'm pretty sure they're cool with it.
