No beach in sight? No problem. You’ll forget you’re not south of the border with these Cinco de Mayo party suggestions. While sombreros aren’t necessary, good friends and strong tequila are definitely two Cinco de Mayo must-haves. So dust off your margarita pitcher and celebrate the warm weather our fiesta party plan guide.
Margaritas
Be the ultimate hostess and serve your guests a variety of Jose Cuervo Margaritas – think – Classic, White Peach, Pink Lemonade, Watermelon, Strawberry Lime and Coconut Pineapple. All you need to do is just add ice and serve in some awesome glassware – no one will ever know and you can spend more time mingling with guests!
Taco Treats
Keep it simple with one DIY main course. Place shredded chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, beans, cheese, sour cream, guacamole and pico de gallo in serving bowls; then arrange hard and soft shells on a platter.
Hang a Piñata
This playful prop will rev up your party’s atmosphere and give guests an excuse to look hilarious while swatting for candy and prizes (blindfolded, of course!). Find a variety of Pinata styles for as little as $5.
Turn Up The Music
Download high-energy hits from the Gypsy Kings and Santana. Just hook up your iPod to a small set of outdoor speakers and you’re ready to jam…Or if you’re a musician, bust out your best rendition of “Oye Como Va”. It’s your call.
