Cinco De Mayo Inspired Baby Shower

For mom-to-be Aline’s baby shower, she and her husband Mark knew they wanted to celebrate together with a co-ed shower. They also wanted to host a party that honored his heritage and felt reminiscent of the huge fiestas his parents have experienced in Mexico. Plus, they thought, who doesn’t love tacos and margaritas?!

When we saw the new cactus plates from Meri Meri, we knew we had to use them–and basically everything from Lula Flora! There was plenty of tequila (horchata for the momma), music, dancing, and fresh-made street tacos. For dessert, guests enjoyed horchata cupcakes with DIY fringe toppers, margarita bars, maraca cake pops, cactus cookies and vanilla celebration cake from SusieCakes. We also loved using the beautiful and vibrant paper flowers our photographer made !!! And papel picado banners Mark’s family had made. And even though El Nino is coming, Aline had nothing but sunshine and warmth on her special day!
