Sending the right invitation is vital to giving your guests a hint at what to expect at your next party. A playful invitation suggests a fun spirited party, while a classic invitation hints at a stylish party. Using the invitation to guide and inspire your décor and party theme is a great way to ensure continuity between what your guests expect after receiving the invitation and what they experience once they arrive. 

These St. Patrick's Day party invitations from Pear Tree Greetings offer a hint of playfulness with the modern style of a classic party theme. The green accents, clover and playful text are the perfect blend for those hosts looking to leave Green Beer off the party menu and focus on a stylish party theme perfect for modern entertaining.

Hosting a stylish St. Patty's Day party is simple when you take inspiration from these classic Feelin' Lucky St. Patrick's Day party invitations.

Incorporating the traditional colors of green and white into your table setting and centrepiece create a modern décor theme that allow you to showcase a sophisticated tablescape that your guests will appreciate.

Taking inspiration for the green of the invitation, my St. Patty's Day centerpiece is simple to create and can be used after the party to add a dash of green to your kitchen once the party ends. Featuring a living centrepiece with white candles and accented with a miniature Leprechaun hat continues the color theme without sacrificing on style. 

Continue the natural theme of the table by incorporating slate tablets to display your drinks and party foods. The black slate is a great contrast to the white table and a unique substitution to traditional cake stands and serving trays. It's also reminiscent of the blarney stone, which is popular in Irish lore.

The green beer cooler adds a pop of color to the table, offering both functionality and décor to the tabletop, allowing guests to help themselves to a Guinness at their leisure. Topping the bottles with miniature Leprechaun hats keeps the theme without taking away from the sophistication of the table.

Bring the theme of the invitations, natural accents and fun Leprechaun hats together by adding fun printables to your tablescape. I used fun free printables designed by Paper & Pigtails that were inspired directly by Pear Tree Greeting's invitation.

They make great additions to your party bags, drinks and cupcakes without taking away from the stylish layout of your table. Check the party details below for both the round St. Patrick's Day printables I used for the tipsy cupcakes and the tent ones I used for drink labels and party favors.

Speaking of favors, these take-aways for my guests were the perfect token of appreciation - hangover cures for the next morning! Filled with some Irish tea and shortbread biscuit among other things, these favors rounded out a sophisticated and festive St. Patrick's Day party!
