Video Transcript

"So the first step in planning your St. Patrick's Day party is knowing when St. Paddy's day is actually this year. Get out a handy dandy calendar at least thirty days before, take a green marker and you make sure and put a big circle around when St. Patrick's Day is. You can see here because you're going to want to send out your invitations for your party at least two weeks before that time. That's important to make sure you get like a lot of head's up. And also, what's more, you may not actually want to have your party on St. Paddy's Day. This St. Patrick's Day's is Wednesday. You know what Wednesday is? It's the basically seventh most boring day of the week. If you're having a big party on Wednesday, yeah. I'm sorry, it's not going to really work for you. So keep in mind about having a big St. Patrick's Day party the weekend before. Look at the previous weekend, another Friday or Saturday as other potential options, for you to have your St. Patrick's Day party on rather than the actual day because depending on your party by nine o'clock, it's going to be DOA for your party. In contrast, if you're able to shift it back, you can still have the St. Patrick's Day theme and also have people stay a little later than, shall we say, well, they'll be there beyond fifteen minutes."
