Mon January 16, 2017 by Kunal Bansal

Hang strings of fiesta lights all over the place. Hang red, white and green balloons to add to the festive atmosphere. Colorful handmade blankets from Mexico make fabulous wall decorations, as do large sombreros donning ornate colors and sequins.

1. Table Basics – First start off with a solid black table cloth. Then open up several colorful Mexican themed paper napkins and use them as a table topper by placing them in the center of the table. Position them diagonal so that they look like diamonds instead of rectangular napkins. Place lime green table cloth on the table and similar to the buffet table, open up more kitty party napkins and place in the center of the table. Decorate with flowers, sombreros, miniature Mexican flags and maracas.

2. Sleeping Mexican Centerpiece - A sleeping Mexican was created using children clothing stuffed with plastic bags. Dress the Mexican in traditional Mexican serape shawl and a Mexican Sombrero or hat. Lean the sleeping Mexican against old looking crates and decorate around the centerpiece with other Mexican items like, maracas, sombreros, guitar, an inflatable cactus and hibiscus flowers.

3. Bold Colors - Use warm colors like red, yellow, orange, green and black for the table cloth, plates, napkins, and kitty party decorations. To save on paper products, consider purchasing perhaps only Mexican themed napkins, and purchase solid colored plates in red, yellow, orange and lime green. This adds to the savings especially if you will be entertaining a large crowd and you are on a budget.

4. Colorful Vegetables - Use colorful vegetables as decorations like, yellow peppers, red peppers, red chilis, green chilis, avocados, and tomatoes.

5. Table Centerpieces – Flowers and Recyclable Milk Bottles. Use old glass milk bottles and put fresh, bright and colorful flowers in them as tablecenterpieces. Flowers like sunflowers, miniature colored carnations, miniature roses and hibiscus for example, are great choices for the table.

6. Festive Fiesta Banners - Get festive custom banners made, pre-made Mexican banners, or get Mexican picture cutouts for the walls.

7. Terra Cotta Platters - For an inexpensive platter, get a large terra cotta plate from the garden department and use as is, or spray paint it gold for a more elegant touch. Make sure you rinse and dry well. Line the bottom with foil paper. Then open up several festive Mexican party napkinss and place on top of the foil. Use it to serve food like chips or fresh Jalapeno corn bread.

8. Faux Cactus - Use inflatable cactuses (or use a piñata cactus) to create the Mexican ambiance in your party room. Simply place in a large terra cotta pot and secure with newspaper in the bottom. Cover the top with brown shredded paper from made by the paper shredder.

9. Mexican Flags - Get miniature Mexican flags to decorate the party table. These flags are like toothpicks and can be inserted everywhere for an instant Mexican theme. Stick them on desserts, in sandwiches, in vases, in desserts, etc.

10. Mexican Sombreros - Get lots of sombreros for your guests and use any leftovers as decoration. Put them up everywhere – the buffet table, use as table centerpiece with maracas, use to hold favors, against the walls, etc.
