It's A Good Luck Party

With St. Patrick's Day coming up, now is the time to start planning a party. However, it doesn't have to be all about green and rainbows. Think about putting a fun twist on your theme party with a good luck theme. Wedding and Party Network has a few tips on making this party fun for everyone.

What You'll Need:

Four Leaf Clover

• Prizes
• Red Envelope Party Invitations
• Piggy Banks
• Good Luck Charms
• Party Decor
• Deck Of Cards
• Food & Beverages
• Pennies
• Printed Instructions for Party Games

First things first, set a date and send out the invitations. Send your party invitations that contain all the party details in small red envelopes, which is a sign of good luck in Asian culture. Within the invitation, explain the theme of the party and ask them to bring a few lucky coins and charms.

Next, you're going to be decorating for your party. Think about decorating with items that represent luck, like a pot of gold, rainbows, horse shoe, rabbit's foot four-leaf clover and other items. Your party decorations don't have to be over the top, just think about setting out fun floral arrangements that feature different lucky items.

Plan out the party food. You can definitely carry the luck theme throughout your food and beverages. Think about what you may eat on New Year's Day and carry it throughout your food. Make appetizers that feature black eye peas, cabbage, noodles, lentils, grapes, legumes, pork, fish, cakes or pomegranate. All these foods represent good luck in different cultures.

Of course, with this party, there has to be party activities. One idea is that whenever guests order drinks, pull out a deck of cards, let them choose one face down to use as a coaster and whoever has the highest card at the end of the night wins a prize, which can be a lucky charm or a mini piggy bank.

You can also do a flip of pennies. Guests can pair up and whoever guesses the correct way the coin lands, either on heads or tails, wins. Another game is to place lucky charms into a basket and have guests draw one out and explain why that item is lucky, they can either tell the truth or bluff and guests can call them out on it if it's not the truth or if they do believe them.

Now, for the fun part of the party. Place two piggy banks close to the front door and let guests know that one is for charity and the other is a prize that one of them will get to take home. Fill it with pennies and have your guests place their coins in there as well that you asked them to bring. You can either have people guess how many coins are in one and they're the winner or you can make it a prize for one of the other party games. Either way, it's a great prize and one goes to a good cause.

You'll find lots of ideas out there for your lucky themed party and many charms that represent luck. This party is a neat way to learn about different cultures and just to spend a great evening in together and enjoying laughs.
