Our Top 5 Ideas on How to Celebrate St Patrick's Day at Work
1. Wear Your Greens
To get into the St Paddy's spirit, kick off your morning meeting by having everyone show up dressed head-to-toe in green. It'll put an extra spring in everyone's step, guaranteed! Just make sure to remind your colleagues to take off their hats when they hop on those important sales calls. We wouldn't want any accidental leprechaun interruptions, now would we?
2. Put Your Irish Knowledge to the Test
Who's up for an Irish trivia quiz? Test your team's knowledge on obscure Irish traditions, mind-boggling historical facts, and maybe even a round of Irish music and bands for the music lovers among you. Spice things up with a food round too - everyone loves a good foodie challenge! Oh, and here's a fun nugget to surprise your teammates with: did you know that Ireland is the only country in the world that doesn't use postal codes? Talk about a quirky fact!
3. Get Your Irish Feast On
Let's talk about the most important aspect of your party: the food. Ireland is a treasure trove of delicious traditional treats, and boy, do we have some mouthwatering suggestions for you. How about organising a delivery with a mix of Irish goodies or a fabulous spread of green-themed foods in the office? Picture this: Guinness-flavoured sweet treats like Guinness cake or Guinness brownies, Irish coffee in all its delightful forms, DIY boxes with everything you need to whip up those traditional Irish treats, warming soda bread, hearty corned beef, and lucky decorated cakes adorned with four-leaf clovers or mischievous leprechauns. Yum! But wait, there's more! You can even gather virtually on Zoom and cook a traditional Irish recipe together. It's a wonderful way to bond and have a good laugh as you try not to burn the house down. Even if it doesn't turn out perfectly, the results will be memorable at least!
4. Sprinkle Some St. Paddy's Spirit
Add a touch of St. Patrick's Day magic to your surroundings. Decorate your desk with shamrock bunting, hang up some green streamers, or scatter a few chocolate coins around for good luck. And let's not forget about our Irish colleagues in the office - seeing their Irish flag proudly displayed will surely get them in the festive mood. To make it even more exciting, why not host a decorating contest? Challenge your team to come up with the most creative St. Patrick's Day-inspired ideas to spruce up your usual corporate setting for the day.
5. Cheers to St. Patrick!
Now, if the pubs are open, why not organise an optional trip to your nearest Irish pub? Raise your glasses and savour a pint of Guinness or a trusty Irish whiskey with your colleagues. And here's a little extra seasoning for you - add some games to the mix! Whether it's a lively drinking game or even a competition to see who can do the best Irish jig, let the good times roll!
