Send Out the Mexican Fiesta Invitations!

Every party starts with an invite. You may go the easy route and just send out e-vites. Or, you can go the "fancy" route with invitations that set the party vibe!

Here are my top picks for festive invitations. The Cinco de Mayo invitations that contain the maracas party favor are my favorite! You can make your own similar party invitations with any fiesta themed party favor.

Cinco de Mayo Decorations

You already know that decorations are a big part of any party, especially if you are trying to pull off a themed party. Not to mention, the decorations are the best part!

But what decorations give you the most bag for your buck? There are several Cinco de Mayo decorations that really make a statement without costing an arm and leg.

One of my favorite decorations has to pennants or flags. You see these in Mexico every time there’s a fiesta.

The best part of this decoration is that it’s compact, so it's easy to store for next year. But, when flags are hung they cover a lot of area, and that means your decorating dollars go further.

Similar to the flags are lanterns, they also can be easily stored and really create a dramatic effect.

Decorations, like pinatas, do double duty as a game and party decor. This makes them an excellent choice for stretching your decorationg budget.

A really great Cinco de Mayo game and decoration that you may have not thought of is a ring toss game that also serves as a cooler. As a matter of fact, you can even have guests earn their drinks with this laugh inducing game!
