A “Preppy Plaid” St. Patrick’s Day + FREE Printables

5 Comments

• 
  To me, St. Patrick’s Day is a “sleeper” holiday. It’s one that typically doesn’t get as much attention from the planning standpoint, but one that inevitably ends up being tons of fun! This year, we decided to get a head start on the favorite Irish holiday by creating a fun (and FREE!!) classic printable collection that easily coordinates with linens and serve ware. Plaid is just about as classic as it gets. And it gives this dessert table a preppy feel that was fun to run and play with. The menu included the following:

  * Lime green individual jello-’s in footed, glass dessert dishes complete with a bow-tie and a printable charms (no pinch!)
  * Extra large chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with printable cupcake wrappers
  * “Appletini” Shots, a.k.a “Liquid Gold” with printable drink flags (recipe below)
  * Chocolate-chip cookies, a.k.a. “St. Patty’s Sweets” with food tent card (two additional food tents also available)
  * Beer, a.k.a “Lucky Charm” with printable bottleneck labels and printable round bottle labels

  A huge thanks to Jeff from Hemmerlein Photography  for the (always) amazing photography!
  

  {DECOR} The backdrop was created out of alternating strips of burlap and green & white floral fabric. The table was an old, large rustic trunk I found at an estate sale. Other decor included a large wrought iron vase filled with neutral-colored hydrangeas, green beads and a glittered top hat, as well as a gold geometric-patterned decorative plate on an easel. The cupcakes, shots and cookies were served on tiered dessert stands from Crate & Barrel.

  “Appletini” Shots
  * 2 oz Michael Collins Irish Whiskey
  * 1 oz Sour Apple Schapps
  * 2 oz White Cranberry Juice
