Throwing a party or heading out for drinks on St. Patrick’s Day has become a tradition for most people, Irish or not. Why not this year, bring the St. Patrick’s theme into your office and plan a party right there at work? Don’t go overboard but make it a green day!
In our break room in order to keep things healthy, we put out a spread of green and orange jello and a selection of fruits and vegetables last year. Keeping it green and orange, we had carrots and broccoli with ranch dressing and green grapes, green apples and oranges.
Lunch was easy. For our St. Patrick’s Day party in the office, we called a local deli for their expertise. They catered in corn beef on rye sandwiches topped with sauerkraut. We also put out a selection of orange soda, root beer and green flavored Gatorade.
Then on to the fun stuff. Of course, we had to put out the necessary dessert spread for the party. We had a variety of cupcakes, cookies, and donuts all decorated with St. Patrick’s Day goodies. One coworker filled a green and gold top hat with those chocolate gold coins. Our boss had an ice cream bar set up with mint chip, pistachio, and vanilla ice cream as an added treat.
A great time was had by all, and we even managed to get plenty of work done. For a fun time, throw a St. Patrick’s Day party in your office this year!
Irish Soda Bread for Life!
Just make sure to bring loads of Irish Soda Bread!
It is nice to celebrate since there aren’t many holidays that time of year. Plus green is my favorite color!
I love any excuse to wear green. Fun holiday!
Gotta love a holiday that is all about food and drink!
I think it’d be a fun idea to do a potato eating contest. Or if you’re feeling wild, a cabbage and corn beef eating contest!
Sprite with green food coloring works, too! I love a good corned beef sandwich, so this sounds like a great party. Are you hiring? 🙂
