To those who honor the right and honorable St. Patrick with repeated trips to the Bar and brandishing four leave clovers the true holiday is the feast of St. Patrick., one of the patron saints of Ireland.  A brief definition of his most well known deed was in forcing all the snakes off the island or Ireland.  But actually his real fame comes from using a shamrock (like that pictured here) to explain the concept of the Christian Holy-Trinity.  To read more about the religious holiday read this Wikipedia article.

Now if you’re more interested in the modern version of the holiday come back to see our next post on St. Patrick’s Day secular celebrations!

This question comes up more then you might think:  Why host a party?  Why go through the trouble and expense just to have people over to eat your food, drink you refreshments, and dirty up your house?

The simple answer is that being social and having a group of friends will benefit you down the line when you’re looking for companionship, help on some issue, or even when you’re bored on a Saturday night and there’s no good movies on.

Getting past the deeper meaning you should host a party to keep the party stores in business… Just kidding, parties are great ways for people to let off steam and relax.  It allows an opportunity to be with people they enjoy to celebrate an occasion.

For many of us, who have become to busy with work or family functions, throwing a party is one of the few times we have to see our friends.  All to often we fall out of touch with people that were integrel to our High School, College, or 20’s lives.  Those that saw us at our worst and cheered us at our best.  This is serious though, too often people don’t realize what friendship means.

But the main reason to throw a party is simply that if you don’t do it who will?

Is it plastic?  Will it tear easily?

No to both questions.  We use high quality vinyl material in all our banner printings.  It is rated to last 3+ years OUTSIDE IN THE ELEMENTS!!!

Okay I have the banner now what do I do with it?

Hang it either outside your party location to let guests know where you are, or inside to help create the theme!  Attach them to walls or posts either with the 4 corner gromets or with sticky tack or tape.
