I am currently planning my husband's surprise 30th birthday party. His very favorite holiday is St. Patrick's  Day, but now that we are beyond our college years, we haven't celebrated the Irish holiday 'properly ' in quite a while! I decided to throw him a "St. Pat's "  birthday party. I downloaded St. Pat's invitations from the Hewlett Packard website and I booked the local Irish Band (they were really cheap this time of year!). I am serving Irish food (like corn beef and cabbage  and soda bread) and lots of Irish brew - including  green beer! I told everyone to wear green, and I  gathered decorations from everyone I know 9including my school teacher friends who had tons!), and I found discount napkins, paper plates, etc. I am handing out green hats, beads, and stickers I got  from Oriental trading, and I know we will have a great time celebrating his BIG day in exactly the way he  would want!
