Step1: Think green and silly when it comes to decorations. Put up green cutouts of shamrocks and leprechauns on the walls and in the windows. Blow up a few dozen green balloons and pile them into corners.
Step2: Tie a few green mylar shamrock balloons to the front of the house or the front gate and screw a green "party" lightbulb into the outside light so that your guests will know where the party is.
Step3: String green lights (available year-round via the Internet) across the ceiling.
Step4: Place a big rock right inside the entrance with a sign that says,
BLARNEY STONE - KISS FOR GOOD LUCK.
Step5: Pass out "Kiss me, I'm Irish" buttons to your guests as they arrive. Make everyone wear them.
Step6: Create a table of green munchies, including green cookies, green M&Ms and chips with guacamole . Serve them out of green plastic leprechaun hats.
Step7: Set tables with green tablecloths, napkins and cups and sprinkle shamrock confetti on tables and other flat surfaces.
Step8: Serve both a traditional Irish beer (such as Guinness) and a cheaper light beer that you can dye green with food colouring; don't forget the green Jell-O shots!
Step9: Hold a limerick contest - after people have had a few drinks - and award a silly prize to the winner.
Step10: Buy a CD of classic Irish pub songs and have it playing in the background and/or rent the horror movie "Leprechaun" and have it playing on your TV.
