Cinco de Mayo party

Every now & then, I love having my girlfriends over for drinks. With Cinco de Mayo coming up, I knew this would be the perfect opportunity to share delicious margaritas & tasty appetizers!
Lisa from Sweet Pop Studio created some fun & festive printables for my fiesta.

Decor:
My backdrop consisted of a Mexican serapi. I then added big yellow tissue balls, and tissue fans in green & red. I clustered them together, and hung them on both sides. With all the fun printables from Sweet Pop Studio, I made banners for my dessert table, party favor tags, cupcake toppers, mini table signs, and photo booth props.

Menu:
I served strawberry & mango margaritas on my favorite drink cart. I spray painted it green to tie in with my theme. I displayed chips inside of a sombrero, with two kinds of salsa, taquitos, mini tacos, and chicken pazole. Little cupcakes with festive toppers were for dessert.

On my table, I used a serapi as a table runner. I added flowers inside of used chili cans, and served our meal on earthenware. I wrapped the eating utensils inside cloth chili napkins, added a chili pepper, and tied it all with twine.

Guest favors:
All my girlfriends enjoy a cocktail, or two. I made sure I sent them home with a little something fun for them to enjoy for later. Each guest received mini bottles of margarita mix, and little shaker bottles. I attached a “muchas gracias mis amigas” favor tag, and cut out a paper lime. My girlfriends loved their party favors, and can’t wait to get together again next year. Ole!
