Throw a Mexican Fiesta!
Article written by: Pollux Parker

Are you thinking of throwing an authentic Mexican fiesta and are unsure where to start? The trick to making your guests feel like they're really in a party in Mexico is to decorate the place with vibrant colors, have Mexican games, play the country's music, and serve the native delicacies. Below are some of the tips on how to have a great Mexican fiesta:

Decorate your place with balloons and streamers using the colors of the Mexican flag -- red, white, and green.

• Use plants and flowers indigenous to Mexico like dahlias, poinsettias, and plumerias to add color.

• Adorn the walls with Mexican shawls called serapes. You can also use these as table runners.

• Add other Mexican accessories like sombreros, terra-cotta pots, and steer skull to showcase the country's culture.

• Prepare a playlist of Latin-American or Mexican music like salsa or samba, and inspire people to dance by hiring your own mariachi band. Make sure there's enough space for dancing!

• Serve Mexican food like burritos, chimichangas, churros, and tacos. You can also have fried ice cream for desert. Have chips and salsa for appetizer. You can also experiment with chilis and enchiladas as your main dish.

• Stock the bar with Mexican drinks such as margaritas, tequila, and Corona. You can also serve Mexican soda and Aqua Frescos.

• Get a piñata and fill it with coins, candy, and other miniature prizes. During the party, blindfold your guests and have them take turns in cracking the piñata. This will surely make your Mexican party truly enjoyable.
