Mexican party supplies are all about vibrant colors! In addition to highlighting the Mexican flag colors of red, green, and white, a palette of bright, bold colors is a great choice. A Mexican blanket would make a great table runner. You can purchase mini cacti and set them around for table centerpieces.
Some fun ways to make your party more festive are hanging string lights, setting up a photo booth backdrop, and setting out some photo booth props.
Buy some cute cactus or paper cactus decorations to set around. Be sure and use festive paper products, party cups, and shot glasses.
Mexican themed party games
A great way to get the fiesta fun started as soon as guests walk in the door is to have an ice breaker game going when they arrive. Fill up a jar with pinto beans, don’t forget to count them first, though. Set it near your drink station. As everyone fixes themselves a drink, have them try and guess how many beans are in the jar. Give prizes for the closest guess and the worst guess. You can download this printable when you purchase my Mexican Printable Party Pack also.
Some fun traditional games are breaking open a Mexican Star Pinata or a scavenger hunt for Mexican-themed party favors like shot glasses, plastic chili peppers, or cute cactus.
Dinner Party Food
Choose dishes that have a Mexican culture theme when planning your menu. You could have a theme, build your own taco bar with all the trimmings. Items like taco shells, sour cream, guacamole, pico, pulled pork or chicken, cheese, Mexican rice, and beans.
Look through these easy recipes and choose a few to make a well-rounded menu. Be sure and print each one and then start filling out your grocery list. I have a free printable grocery list for you in my members' hospitality library.
