But bringing this color in via glass goblets and napkin accents, as in this setup from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inspiredbythis.com\/2012\/03\/inspired-by-this-elegant-baby-shower-in-washington-dc\/\" target=\"_blank\">Inspired By This<\/a>, is just so fabulous! Plus the black and white striped tablecloth, the anemone centerpieces, and the sleek candlesticks create such a chic, contemporary vibe.<\/p>\n<p>2 &#8211; Even your <strong>shower invitations<\/strong> can (and should) match. See, there are the green stripes again on this invite set designed by <a href=\"http:\/\/kateemmert.blogspot.com\/2011\/04\/st-patricks-themed-baby-shower.html\" target=\"_blank\">Kate Eileen Emert<\/a>, finished with green-striped twine and the cutest shamrock circle tags!<\/p>\n<p>3 &#8211; How fun are these <strong>shamrock-shaped potato chips<\/strong> with a chocolate sauce dip?! We checked the recipe provided by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cherylstyle.com\/showcase\/st-patricks-day-shamrock-shaped-potato-chips\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cheryl Style.com<\/a> and, yes, the chips are salted. So that mix of saltiness and chocolatey-ness must be pretty interesting! Oh and the shape? Courtesy of shamrock cookie cutters!<\/p>\n<p>4 &#8211; To suit the modern setting, a fittingly <strong>trendy cake<\/strong> is called for, too. This green and white zig-zag cake, featured on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oncewed.com\/wedding-ideas-blog\/inspiration-zig-zag-cake\/\" target=\"_blank\">Once Wed<\/a> (originally from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sweet-sensations.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sweet Sensations<\/a>), is perfect!<\/p>\n<p>5 &#8211; A fitting favor indeed! Made of walnut and Irish Cream, these <strong>Lucky Pot o&#8217; Gold Shortbread Cookies<\/strong> for St. Patrick&#8217;s Day are the perfect way to fill the occasion with auspicious treats!

Not only is it green tinted, but the mixture of peach vodka, lemon juice, agave nectar, and fresh mint leaves will give the perfect kick to the occasion!<\/p>\n<h2>Surprise Gift Idea!<\/h2>\n<p>A surprise gift for the guest of honor: <strong>the \u201cKnot\u201d clutch purse<\/strong> in emerald green silk! We found this at the etsy shop <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/80360368\/sale-knot-clutch-purse-in-emerald-green\" target=\"_blank\">a03designs<\/a> and were fascinated with its semi-sculptural look.
