"Ní céasadh go pósadh" springs to mind, but you'd better not use that! |

Ní rósta go pósta. (Do not use this one either.) |

Betsy, You happened to ask for a translation of something that really has no direct equivalent in Irish. It's been discussed elsewhere. William Fuller suggest a phrase that is used on many social occasions, like at the beginning of a big dinner. It is sometimes translated as 'May we be alive this time next year'.
I would suggest 'Comhghairdeas Libh ar an Mhór Ócáid Seo' (Congratulations on this great occasion'). |
