Free St. Patrick's Day Email Backgrounds & Stationery

Shamrocks, gold, and Irish greetings

The collection covers the familiar imagery of the day: four-leaf clovers, green backgrounds, pots of gold, and playful characters. There are also designs built around blessings, which suit a message sent to family or to someone in Ireland rather than a party invitation.

Using a traditional Irish blessing

An old blessing makes a good message for the day, but it reads as a forward if it arrives on its own. Add the recipient's name and a line of your own before or after it so it is clear the email was written rather than passed along. Our sister site keeps St Patrick's Day messages alongside the traditional wording.

Green backgrounds and readable text

Strong green designs are the hardest backgrounds on this site to read text against. White or cream usually works better than black, and a larger font size helps. Check the message on the design before you copy it rather than after you have sent it.

Invitations for the seventeenth

If you are inviting people rather than sending a greeting, put the date, time, and place into the message area first. Keep it to a few short lines so the practical details stay legible when the email is opened on a phone.
