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.
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.
