Looking to spice up your Cinco de Mayo celebrations? These tips will take your party to the next level! From a DIY piñata to a make-your-own margarita bar, your guests will be in for a wild time. Don’t forget to decorate with colorful papel picado and serve up some authentic Mexican cuisine like tacos, guacamole, and churros.
Create a DIY piñata station.
Set up a table with plain piñatas and decorating materials like glitter, paint, and streamers. Let guests unleash their creativity by designing their own piñatas that can be used as decorations or filled with candy for a fun party activity.
Have a taco bar, with a twist!
Spice up your taco bar by offering unexpected toppings like fresh fruit salsa, crispy fried onions, and pickled vegetables (beyond jalapeños). Encourage guests to mix and match to create their own unique flavor combinations.
Set up a margarita bar.
Impress your guests with a make-your-own margarita bar that includes different types of tequila, mixers, and lots of traditional garnishes (like lime wedges and salt for the rim) and non-traditional garnishes (like fresh jalapeños and gummy worms). Don't forget to offer non-alcoholic options like virgin margaritas and flavored sparkling water.
Host a piñata treasure hunt!
Hide mini piñatas filled with candy or other surprises around the party space and challenge guests to find them all. This interactive game will keep guests (especially young ones) entertained and add an extra element of fun to the festivities.
Set up a photo booth!
Set up a fun and festive photo booth area with props like sombreros, maracas, and fake mustaches. Encourage guests to snap photos and share them on social media with a custom hashtag for your Cinco de Mayo party.
