Cinco de Mayo is celebrated all over the country during which many people have a fiesta theme party. Cinco de Mayo is celebrated because it’s the day Mexico won its independence from France. May 5th is the perfect day to throw a fiesta but anytime is a fun time to have a Mexican Fiesta Theme Party. Music is a big part of Mexican culture. Acoustic guitars are played by many citizens in Mexico. Mariachi bands or any Spanish sing-a-long is perfect for this occasion. The Macarena is also a fun selection for the party. For the clothes you can have fun with this one. Boys can wear black jeans with cowboy boots and button down shirts topped with a sombrero or cowboy hat. Girls can wear a long flowing skirt with sandals and any off the shoulder shirt. Traditionally the girls wear a flower in their ear and their hair in a bun. The menu can change depending on the guests preferences. Some Mexican food includes Nachos, Tacos, Tostadas, Carne Asada Burritos, and Enchiladas or even Fish, Flan or any Mexican pastry. Tamarinda and Horchata are some ideas of Mexican beverages you can serve. For the decorations, red, white and green balloons, streamers, pinatas and sombreros are ideal. A giant plastic Burro would be another cute idea for you party. Red, green and white cups, plates, napkins and silverware are fitting paper goods. Real or plastic cactus, Mexican flags, and map of Mexico tablecloths complete your table top decorations. Try planning your party away from grassy areas to give it a feel of Mexico’s scenery. Now all you need is your guests to arrive and you’ll be set to enjoy your Mexican fiesta party.
