Instead of thinking of all of the visual icons of the holiday, focus on just the colors. For this supper club idea, I focused on green, orange, white, and gold- and then added in unexpected pink to complement those colors.

Choose a tablecloth that has green as the main color.

Add placemats or chargers that have a green in them- or go with a natural texture like seagrass or rattan.

Use solid white or white with gold dinner plates to anchor the table setting.

Add in salad plates that have a pattern with the colors in it.

Consider using gold flatware and other serving pieces with white, gold, or green to add interest to the table.

Create a centerpiece that brings in the colors and use a gold or brass vessel to mimic a "pot of gold".

Incorporate a shamrock to the centerpiece for a subtle nod to the obvious and a conversation starter.

Have fun with glassware and use something with color- everything from solid green or pink to rainbow colors. Everyone could even have a different colored glass.

Add a whimsical or unexpected topper to the stack of plates- or as part of the place card. This is where you could incorporate something elegant or kitschy- depending on the vibe of your party and guests.
