Happy Saint Niall — we mean, Saint Patrick’s Day! As a Niall Horan fan planning a Saint Patrick’s Day party, you know how important it is to pay homage to the country our favorite blond singer calls home, so we’re sharing our best ideas for a Saint Patrick’s Day photo booth, Niall-song-inspired snacks, and party favors that will have your guests feeling like it’s the luckiest day of their life.

Might we suggest playing One Direction’s “Act My Age” on repeat throughout the party? Just a thought.

DIY Photo Booth

Set up a designated spot in your house for everyone to take photos with a backdrop, banner, and balloons. Throw in some “slow hands,” sunglasses, and photo props to make it an unforgettable photo booth.

2-Pack Green Streamers Backdrop

Set the stage for your photo booth with these inexpensive streamers you can just tape to a wall or doorway. They’ll provide the perfect Saint Patrick’s Day-themed backdrop to all of your pics.

164 Feet of Irish Green White Orange Triangle Flags for St Patrick’s Day

Make Niall proud — fly the colors of his country! Layer these over your streamer backdrop for added Irish effect.

12-Piece St Patrick’s Day Balloons — Shamrock, Rainbow, Top Hat, Beer Foil Balloons

Don’t worry about helium; just blow these up yourself and tape them to your streamer backdrop to give the appearance that they’re floating in the background of your pics.

Skeleteen Cartoon Hand Gloves Costume

Nearly identical to the cartoon hands Maren Morris wore on stage to prank Niall during a “Slow Hands” performance, these accessories will take your photo booth up a notch — and only true Niall fans will get the reference.

TOODOO 10 Pairs of Green Heart Shaped Sunglasses

Keep the theme going with a 10-pack of green heart-shaped sunglasses. If you have more than 10 friends, buy a second pack, I guess? Can’t relate.

KatchOn St Patricks Day Photo Props – Pack of 32

Give the friends who aren’t wearing the cartoon hands something to hold with these Saint Patrick’s Day-themed photo props. If you’ve got extra time on your hands and are feeling crafting, you could even DIY a few Niall-specific ones.

Wrap yourself in the flag of Ireland just like Niall would on stage. He’s proud to be Irish — and today, you can pretend to be, too.

Niall Horan LIFESIZE Cardboard Cutout

If you can’t get the actual Niall Horan to show up at your Saint Patrick’s Day party (and I mean, really, why not?) this is the next best thing. And I’m 99% sure people won’t be able to tell this isn’t the real thing in your photos.

Party Food

Niall would be the first to tell you that every good party needs good food.
