Irish BabyWhen most people think about St. Patrick’s Day, they usually don’t think about babies!  Bars, yes…babies, no.  But, we’re here to change all of that because it’s actually a wonderful time to celebrate the new little leprechauns in the family.  Here are three ways to make it happen!

#1 – Irish Baby Shower Theme

Irish Baby CorsageIf you’re expecting and your baby shower happens to be in March, make it a St. Patty’s Day theme.  Have everyone bring Irish-themed baby gifts and decorate the place with green clovers.  You can even make Mom feel special with an Irish corsage that’s actually a handkerchief that she can use to wipe away the tears of joy.  It’s a wonderful way to wish the Mom and baby good luck.  And, believe you me, they’ll likely need it.

#2 – Baby Baptism

Irish Bible SetAfter the baby is born, it’s time to begin him or her on a life-long journey of faith.  And, having a baby dedication or baptism is a wonderful way to preserve and celebrate your Irish heritage.  Invite family and friends for the service, and offer a traditional Irish blessing over the baby and the family.  To commemorate the spiritual significance of the day, you can bring a keepsake bible or baptismal bib as a baby gift.  The family will truly appreciate the thoughtfulness, and it will surely become and instant heirloom.
