18 St. Patrick’s Day Bridal Shower Ideas

Mar 16, 2016

St. Patrick’s Day is a day when it’s perfectly acceptable to eat, drink and be merry *all* day long. This also makes it great inspiration for some awesome bridal shower ideas. If your favorite betrothed BFF and their S.O. like a party, there’s no reason not to combine it with that wedding shower you’re planning. Break out the green and alert the leprechauns — err, wedding party. Once you put your creativity skills to the test and DIY everything from a photo booth backdrop to oodles of shamrock desserts, your guests will be more than ready to say, “Cheers,” to being lucky in love.

1. Printable Treat Bags: A party isn’t complete without treat bags to send home with your guests. Use this printable to create St. Patty’s Day pouches and tags for your besties. Once you’ve printed them off, fill ’em up with chocolate coins or your favorite green sweets. (via Oh Happy Day)

2. DIY Beer Bottle Labels: A few drinks are probably in store for this event. Impress your guests with these DIY beer bottle labels customized with your favorite sayings. (via Brit + Co)

3. Rainbow Donuts: Not only are these rainbow donuts wow-worthy, they’re also *so* delicious. Pick up a box of your favorite donuts, cut them in half and add sprinkles to create a rainbow effect. Top it off with coconut shavings to act as the clouds, and they’ll be ready to brighten up your dessert table. (via Brit + Co)

4. Lucky in Love St. Patrick’s Day Bridal Shower Invitation ($16+): Go a little old school with some snail mail instead of an e-vite. This “Lucky in Love” invitation is way cute and is sure to get your friends excited for the shower.

5. DIY Glitter Shamrock Pins: Bridal showers are a great place to play cute and classic games like the clothespin game. DIY a few glitter shamrock pins for a leprechaun-approved prop, and get ready for the compliments to roll in. The object of this activity is to *not* say words like “bride,” “groom” or “wedding.” If you say one of the words, other guests can steal your pin. (via Marisa Makes)

6. Lucky Charms Rice Krispie Treats: All parties need a dessert table. Complete yours by adding Lucky Charms marshmallows to your batch of Rice Krispie Treats for a simple-yet-perfect St. Patty’s Day dessert. (via Mandy’s Recipe Box)

7. Key Lime Cake Pops: Cake pops are definitely having their moment, because they’re such an easy way to make your dessert bar *that* much more festive. Bake up a batch using your favorite recipe and roll them in frosting, then green and gold sprinkles. If you’re looking to go the extra mile, add green tags to label the flavors, the wedding date and the couples’ names. (via The House That Lars Built)

8. DIY Shamrock Cake Topper: Running low on time? No problem. Make a simple cake and frost it in white icing. Use a four leaf clover paper puncher and cardstock of different shades of green to make a few dozen clovers, then attach the clovers to toothpicks to create a green field on top of your cake. It’ll totally wow your guests. (via Studio DIY)

9. DIY Mini Shamrock Piñata: Is it even a party without a piñata? Use this tutorial to create mini shamrocks out of cardboard. Top off each place setting with a piñata to use them as favors, or DIY a jumbo one if you’re on the hunt for a statement-maker. (via The Centsible Life)

10. DIY Garland Photo Booth Backdrop: Photo booths bring a festive vibe to any party. Make this layered option for your St. Patrick’s Day bridal shower, and hang it on a blank wall. Make sure to snag that wedding or bridal shower #hashtag, because your guests will love the Insta-worthy backdrop. (via The House That Lars Built)

11. Photo Booth Props: If you’re featuring a photo booth, then props are totally necessary. DL these printables to bring the St.-Patty’s-Day-meets-bridal-shower theme to life. Once you’ve printed them off, the sunnies and hats will take it to a whole new level. (via Evite)

12. Shamrock Drink: Looking for a non-alcoholic drink option? Combine pineapple juice, sparkling lemonade and sparkling white grape juice to make this green drink. Once you’ve got it all mixed up, use a cookie cutter to slice green apple slices into a shamrock shape to pop on the side of the glass. (via Creative Juice)

13. DIY Glitter Horseshoe Garland: This DIY garland is super easy to make and totally budget-friendly. Swipe some green paint or glitter onto wooden horseshoes, and string them onto a strand of bakers twine. Finish it off with a few strips of ribbon to add dimension, and it’ll be ready to hang above your dessert table or bar. (via Live.Craft.Love.)

14. Easy St. Patty’s Day Cookies: Green cookies are a must-have, especially for those hungry bridal shower guests. Use this recipe to make delicious cake cookies. Once you’ve baked them and they’re cool, fill with cream cheese frosting for an extra punch of flavor. (via Paper Crush)

15. Lucky Number Game: Games are a classic addition to any shower. In this activity, guests try their luck at pulling the lucky number from the bag — if you win, you get a prize. It’s straight-forward enough to keep the party interactive and entertaining, even after a few cocktails. (via Celebrations at Home)

16. Kiss Me Straws: Paper straws are almost as necessary as the paper invitations. Kick yours up a notch by adding flags like these for the guests of honor. Whether you use a printable or make your own, they add a unique touch that will make you the hostess with the mostess. (via Hostess With the Mostess)

17. DIY To-Go Boxes: Leftovers are pretty much inevitable at any get-together. Make these DIY to-go boxes so you can send your guests home with all of their favorite sweet treats from the party. It’ll clear up space in your fridge and make your besties happy — a win-win! (via A Pumpkin + A Princess)

18. Rainbow Dessert Table: In need of some dessert table inspo? This one is #goals. Between the rainbow background and the green-colored-everything, it’s safe to say that having a holiday-themed shower might take a little extra work. But don’t worry — the payoff is so deliciously worth it. (via Bird’s Party)

    11 Most (Sort Of) Controversial Celebrity Age-Gap Relationships—& They're Still Going Strong!

    What is it about age gap relationships that are so dang perplexing? Maybe it's the idea that someone can find love in a partner that's 10 to 30 years older than them. Maybe it's wondering if it's a red flag if someone only dates people who are way younger or older than they are. Whatever it is, from Sam and Aaron Taylor Johnson to Leonardo DiCaprio and literally everyone he's dated over the past two decades, we're clearly hooked. 👀

    One thing worth noting is these kind of relationships are often mind-boggling even if you do root for them. Don't believe me? Take a look at the most (sort of) controversial celebrity age-gap relationships we've seen!

    Scroll down to see some controversial celebrity age gap relationships!

    Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images for Mercury Studios

    David Foster (75) & Katharine McPhee (40): 35 Years

    I don't know if David Foster and Katharine McPhee is anyone's Roman Empire, but regardless of who's rooting for them, their 35-year age gap clearly doesn't hold them back. No, I'm not making that up. They both celebrated huge milestones this year because Katharine turned 40 while David rang in his 75th birthday with a concert.

    Though they met in 2006 during the season Katharine was on American Idol, they didn't become a couple until the end of 2017. Even still, they didn't really address their relationship until their 2018 Met Gala red carpet appearance. So far the couple seems to be going strong — which is all that matters!

    Amy Sussman/Getty Images

    Sarah Paulson (49) & Holland Taylor (81): 31 Years

    Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor have been dating a little over a decade, but that's not what's shocking. It's the fact this couple has a 31-year gap between them. According to People, they started dating in 2015 and have been happily in love ever since.

    Appearing on the SmartLess podcast earlier in May, Sarah dished about what makes their relationship work so well. She said, "Yeah, we don’t live together. That’s the secret to it. We spend plenty of time together, but we don’t live in the same house."

    Jeff Spicer/Getty Images

    Michael Douglas (80) & Catherine Zeta-Jones (55): 25 Years

    This is a couple I've known about since I was kid and it used to baffle me until it didn't. They didn't hit it off right away, but fate decided to do what it does best when it wants two people together (via People). They're one of the first celebrity age gap relationships that have lasted since the late '90s and it's amazing to see how far they've come.

    As they near their 24th year of marriage (OMG), it's clear Michael and Catherine Zeta-Jones have figured out what it takes to not only sustain their marriage, but their lives in the public eye.

    Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images

    Sam (57) & Aaron Taylor Johnson (34): 23 Years

    Despite their 23-year age gap, Sam and Aaron Taylor Johnson have been together for 16 years. They met some time in 2008, but it didn't take long for them to get engaged and welcome their first child together. They both know others have talked about their relationship, but they've let the comments roll off their shoulders. Sam told The Times UK, "When you're solid with someone in your own love, you don't think about it."

    John Phillips & Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images

    Gigi Hadid (29) & Bradley Cooper (49): 20 Years

    I think I can understand this celebrity age gap relationship because I actually like Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper. I could've never guessed they'd become a couple, but life is full of surprises! They're not ones to talk about their relationship though. I suppose that's the best way to go when you're a celebrity, but us nosy fans are intrigued by the moments we do see them in the public eye.

    Daily Mailwas one of the first few outlets to report their second sighting as an alleged couple which lets me know it would be hard for them to deny they weren't together.

    Image via Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images

    George (63) & Amal Clooney (46): 17 Years

    George and Amal Clooney are probably my second favorite couple on this list because they make absolute sense to me. They're like two missing pieces of a puzzle that found each other and are happy to fit into each other's lives. As it turns out, Mr. Clooney is ever the romantic because he's been wooing Amal from the beginning.

    From their sweet introduction in 2013 to the way George planned a romantic proposal and the amazing work they continue to do with their Clooney Foundation For Justice organization, this is one of those celebrity age gap relationships that's hard to be mad about.

    Roy Rochlin/Getty Images

    Matthew McConaughey (55) & Camila Alves (41): 13 Years

    "All right, all right, all right," it's Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves! These two met in a way that truly makes sense for them: at a club. How many of us can say we found the love of our lives in a club full of loud music and sweaty people? This lucky couple have been together since possibly 2007 and have added three kids to their family.

    Camila recently took to Instagram to celebrate Matthew's 55th birthday with a moving tribute to the actor. She wrote, "Today we celebrate you! …. Well technically we celebrated you all weekend! Hoo you bring so much Joy Matthew… but I am stopping here before I get all sentimental…! To many more sleigh street rides celebrating YOU," in the caption.

    Beyoncé (43) & Jay-Z (54): 12 Years

    Beyoncé and Jay-Zshocked the music industry when they became a couple between 1997 and 2000. It was mainly because Beyoncé was only 19 years old when they started dating (via NBC). But somehow their love has prevailed through music collaborations, cheating scandals, and a certain elevator incident that no one'll ever forget. In recent years, the couple has been riding the waves of bliss as one of the more popular celebrity age gap relationships.

    Mike Coppola / Getty Images Entertainment

    Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

    Blake Lively (37) & Ryan Reynolds (48): 11 Years

    I said it once and I'll say it again: the best thing Green Lantern could've done was introduce Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds to each other. They both have the same dry and high key sarcastic humor that makes people love them so much, plus they way they love each other is so d*mn adorable. Did I mention I love the way they talk about their kids?

    If there's a chance they're considered controversial, put me in pop culture jail because it's hard for me to turn my nose up at them!

    Frazer Harrison/Getty Images

    Nick Jonas (32) & Priyanka Chopra (42): 10 Years

    Last but not least, Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra deserve an award for having the least controversial celebrity age gap relationship. They look amazing together — look at the material — and seem to speak each other's love language in a way that's kind of sexy. They too made a Met Gala red carpet appearance together in 2017, but Priyanka said they weren't even dating. I mean, that's if you believe her Jimmy Kimmel Liveappearance!

    Whether they were or weren't dating then, Nick and Priyanka didn't waste time becoming love birds in 2018. Priyanka was even featured in the Jonas Brothers' music video for "Sucker." Are you kidding me?

    From then on, the couple have been enjoying marriage and being parents which seems to be the case for a lot of the featured celebrity age gap relationships!

    Monica Schipper/Getty Images & Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images for Vanity Fair

    Leonardo DiCaprio (50) & Vittoria Ceretti (26)

    Leonardo DiCaprio is well-known for dating models in their 20's, and Vittoria Ceretti is no exception to that rule. These two have been quietly together since around May 2023, and it seems like they're still going strong. Since they've been together, there have been plenty of engagement rumors swirling, but so far there's no ring in sight for Vittoria. Leo's never quite settled down, so it'll be interesting to see how this age gap relationship pans out! Wishing them both the best of luck!

    12 Dramatic New January TV Shows You Won't Want To Miss

    I am knee deep in tinsel, hot chocolate, and holiday cheer, but as soon as I finish all the new Christmas movies coming out this holiday season (plus those December TV shows), I am tuning into these new January TV shows like I have never tuned in before. There's something about early nights and chilly weather that creates the perfect atmosphere for series that are dramatic, mysterious, and absolutely consuming. And when there's nothing else to do, why not lie in bed and binge watch!

    Here are 12 new TV shows coming in January 2025 that you'll want to add to your calendar ASAP.

    Lockerbie: A Search for Truth — on Peacock January 2, 2025

    Graeme Hunter/SKY/Carnival

    This might be a January TV show, but the story opens on December 21. It's 1988 and Pan Am Flight 103 just exploded, killing 259 passengers and crew members. Dr. Jim Swire becomes the spokesman for the UK victims, despite the fact (or maybe because) he's grappling with the loss of his daughter Flora. But the more he fights for justice, the more he sees just how convoluted the justice system really is.

    Lockerbie premieres on January 2 and stars Colin Firth, Catherine McCormack, Sam Troughton, Mark Bonnar, Ardalan Esmaili, Mudar Abbara, Guy Henry, Nabil Al Raee, and Jemma Carlton.

    When Calls The Heart Season 12 — On Hallmark Channel January 5, 2025

    Hallmark Channel

    The post-holiday blues won't get you down for long, because When Calls The Heart is returning on the 5th! Fans of the show will remember season 11 introduced Elizabeth, Nathan, and the rest of Hope Valley to the 1920s (meaning Elizabeth also got a fresh chop!). We'll have to tune in to see what challenges and excitement comes their way next.

    When Calls The Heart season 12 premieres on January 5 and stars Erin Krakow, Kevin McGarry, Melissa Gilbert, Pascale Hutton, Jack Wagner, Chris McNally, Kavan Smith, and Viv Leacock.

    Doc — On Fox January 7, 2025

    FOX

    We can never have too many medical dramas can we? Fox's newest addition to the genre follows Minneapolis Dr. Amy Elias who's chief of internal medicine — and who's dealing with eight years of memory loss thanks to a traumatic brain injury. Now she just has to navigate dealing with patients, betrayal, and divorcing her soulmate...none of which she remembers. And the craziest part is this new TV show is actually inspired by a true story!

    Doc premieres on January 7 and stars Molly Parker, Omar Metwally, Jon-Michael Ecker, Anya Banerjee, Scott Wolf, Amirah Vann, and Conni Miu.

    The Rookie Season 7 — on ABC January 7, 2025

    ABC/Hulu/Disney

    There's a lot going on in the new season of The Rookie: John Nolan is recovering from a gunshot wound, two new rookies join the team, and two incredibly dangerous prisoners are still on the loose. It's never a dull day at the LAPD.

    The Rookie season 7 premieres on January 7 and stars Nathan Fillion, Mekia Cox, Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Melissa O’Neil, Eric Winter, Jenna Dewan, Shawn Ashmore, and Lisseth Chavez.

    The Traitors Season 3 — on Peacock January 9, 2025

    Chris Haston/NBC

    Picture this: you're trapped in a Scottish castle playing a crazy murder mystery game with a dozen of your closest friends — all for the chance to win $250 thousand. That's the plot of this reality show, hosted by Alan Cumming, and we can't wait for the third season!

    The Traitors season 3 premieres January 9 and stars Alan Cumming, Wells Adams, Sam Asghari, Chanel Ayan, Bob the Drag Queen, Dolores Catania, Jeremy Collins, Robyn Dixon, Dylan Efron, Nikki Garcia, Bob Harper, Britney Haynes, "Boston" Rob Mariano, Dorinda Medley, Ciara Miller, Royal Lord Ivar Mountbatten, Danielle Reyes, Tom Sandoval, Chrishell Stause, Tony Vlachos, Carolyn Wiger, and Gabby Windey.

    On Call — on Prime Video January 9, 2025

    Prime Video

    Pretty Little Liars fans will be happy to see Troian Bellisario onscreen again! This police drama pairs up a veteran officer with a rookie for patrols around Long Beach, California — and just like the Liars had to deal with A time and time again, this show promises to present Troian's Traci with plenty of challenges. And any fans of Freeform's Party of Five reboot will recognize Brandon Larracuente!

    On Call premieres January 9 and stars Troian Bellisario, Brandon Larracuente, Lori Loughlin, Rich Ting, and Eriq La Salle.

    All Creatures Great & Small Season 5 — On PBS January 12, 2025

    PBS Masterpiece/BBC

    If you want something cozy to keep you company amidst all the mayhem, tune into All Creatures Great & Small! The show starts out following veterinarian James Herriot in 1930s Yorkshire, but it's evolved into a multi-generational drama that's one to remember. And in season 5, our favorite characters are dealing with a whole new challenge: World War II.

    All Creatures Great & Small season 5 premieres on January 12 and stars Nicholas Ralph, Samuel West, Callum Woodhouse, Anna Madeley, Rachel Shenton, Matthew Lewis, Tony Pitts, Imogene Clawson, and Patricia Hodge.

    XO, Kitty Season 2 — On Netflix January 16, 2025

    Netflix

    We're in for another semester at KISS in Seoul, and Kitty is more than ready to date casually for once. But when she finds a letter from her mom's past, she's faced with new adventures and new relationships. This is one January TV show I can't wait to see.

    XO, Kitty season 2 stars Anna Cathcart, Audrey Huynh, Sasha Bhasin, Joshua Lee, Minyeong Choi, Gia Kim, Sang Heon Lee, Anthony Keyvan, Peter Thurnwald, and Regan Aliyah.

    Severance Season 2 — On Apple TV+ January 17, 2025

    Apple TV+

    Adam Scott running around his office, and running from his problems, in the Severance season 2 teaser trailer is the most relatable thing I've seen all day. After a full season of his work and personal lives being, well, severed, Mark is in for a lot of surprises this time around. Completely separating your career from the rest of your life might sound ideal, but this January TV show is going to show us why that's simply not the case.

    Severance season 2 premieres on January 17, and stars Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, Zach Cherry, Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Jen Tullock, Dichen Lachman, Michael Chernus, Gwendoline Christie, Bob Balaban, Merritt Wever, Alia Shawkat, Robby Benson, Stefano Carannante, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, and John Noble.

    Prime Target — On Apple TV+ January 22, 2025

    Apple TV+

    Okay I'm definitely not a math girl (like, I still count on my fingers sometimes), but this show definitely has my attention. It follows Edward, who is about to make a breakthrough that could get him access to every computer in the world. Now he just has to team up with a National Security Agent to make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. Equal parts terrifying and intriguing.

    Prime Target premieres on January 22 and stars Leo Woodall, Quintessa Swindell, Stephen Rea, David Morrissey, Martha Plimpton, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Jason Flemyng, Harry Lloyd, Ali Suliman, Fra Fee, and Joseph Mydell.

    The Night Agent Season 2 — on Netflix January 23, 2025

    Netflix

    Oh we are so back! I put on season 1 of this spy show while making my Eras Tour outfit (shameless plug for the 'fit here) and I was so engrossed I watched the entire thing in just over a day. It's got literally everything: danger, excitement, thrills, romance. And in season 2, low-level FBI Agent Peter Sutherland is finally an official Night Agent — and he's in for a lot more than he bargained for.

    The Night Agent season 2 premieres on January 23 and stars Gabriel Basso, Luciane Buchanan, Fola Evans-Akingbola, Sarah Desjardins, and Enrique Murciano.

    Watson — on CBS January 26, 2025

    Sergei Bachlakov/CBS

    Sherlock basically raised an entire generation of Tumblr users (Superwholock, anyone?) and we're finally in for another amazing adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes books. But this time, we're following Dr. John Watson, who jumps back into medicine after Sherlock's death. And while treating mysterious medical ailments is enough for any doctor, Watson also has to deal with evidence that Moriarty is actually still alive.

    Watson premieres on January 26 and stars Morris Chestnut, Eve Harlow, Peter Mark Kendall, Inga Schlingmann, Ritchie Coster, and Rochelle Aytes.

    Which new TV show are you excited to see this January? It'll be here before you know it! Good thing we still have plenty of time to catch up on all those December movies.

    17 Celebrity Cameos On ‘Gossip Girl’ You Probably Forgot About

    New York City is a home and a hub for celebrities across all industries, and the glitzy appeal of Gossip Girl’s NYC is made all the more glamorous by its numerous celebrity cameos. Given that Blair and Serena run in the upper echelon of the city’s It girls, it actually makes total sense for them to be rubbing shoulders with Alexa Chung and Lady Gaga. You never know who you’re going to run into on the Upper East Side — and in Gossip Girl’s case, you may not even remember half the celebs you meet.

    Over the course of six wonderfully melodramatic seasons, Gossip Girl racked up quite a stacked cast list on IMDB. From stars with recurring roles to those who pop in to play themselves for one scene, here are 17 celebrities who appeared on Gossip Girl that you probably forgot about.

    Serena van der Woodsen’s got some serious daddy issues. One of Gossip Girl’s longest subplots is Serena’s search for her father, who essentially walked out on her when she was a kid. He finally appears for the first time in Season 3 Episode 19 (“Dr. Estrangeloved), where he’s played by a member of one of NYC’s royal families, William Baldwin. (In case you’re wondering, he’s Hailey Bieber’s uncle.)

    2. Lady Gaga

    You probably blocked out the time Blair and Dan put on a jukebox version of Snow White at NYU given that the whole ordeal was painfully cringe. That means you probably also blocked out the fact that real-life NYU alum Lady Gaga gives a dead-eyed performance of “Bad Romance” at the end of the episode (Season 3 Episode 10, “The Last Days of Discostick”).

    3. Hilary Duff

    Also included in the Season 3 NYU timeline is Hilary Duff as Olivia Burke. Olivia’s a famous actress who balances attending NYU, starring in the vampire romance franchise Endless Knights, and dating Dan. She’s basically the Gossip Girl universe’s hybrid of Kristen Stewart and Emma Watson.

    4. Sebastian Stan

    Okay, there’s absolutely no way you forgot this one. Before Sebastian Stan was the MCU’s BB, he was Gossip Girl’s lesser-known CB — Carter Baizen. Stan played St. Jude’s sleaziest graduate and one of Serena’s most questionable exes from Seasons 1 through 3.

    5. Karlie Kloss

    Karlie Kloss will always attend a NYFW party — even if that party only exists within Gossip Girl’s Season 4 premiere (“Belles du Jour”).

    6. Armie Hammer

    Serena’s dating history includes one man whose bite may be worse than his bark. In Season 2, she starts dating a con man named Gabriel Edwards, played by Armie Hammer.

    Girls just wanna have Cyndi Lauper do a surprise performance at their eighteenth birthday party — at least, Blair Waldorf does. Lauper makes a cameo in Season 2 Episode 10 (“Bonfire of the Vanity”).

    Welch’s performance of “Cosmic Love” in Season 4 Episode 14 (“Panic Roommate”) was reportedly due to her real-life friendship with Blake Lively. The actress suggested to the producers that they should use Florence’s music in the show. The producers went one step further, and we’re all the better for it.
