Mexican Dinner Decorating

A Mexican Fiesta dinner party combines the colorful traditions of Mexico with the festivity and fun of a South of the Border vacation to create a casual and comfortable dinner party atmosphere. A Mexican dinner party offers a wide range of decorating and menu options to fit any budget and style.

Create a rustic Mexican centerpiece with a touch of elegance featuring a pair of Saguaro cactus candlesticks. Use a colorful Mexican blanket (serape) down the center of your table.  Add a miniature Mexican sombrero and a set of hand-painted Mexican maracas.

A cactus and sombrero salt & pepper shaker set make a unique and interesting detail for your dinner setting. Or use a sombrero and jug salt and pepper shaker set or a pair of blooming cactus in pots. Sprinkle metallic confetti  to say "fiesta" with random glimmers of maracas, sombreros, and chili peppers.

For the pre-dinner margarita hour, create anticipation with a few key decorations for the bar.  A ceramic chili pepper with a cowboy hat is a subtle nod to your Mexican theme and a nice addition to your party ware collection.

Serve cocktails on Mexican Fiesta beverage napkins featuring blooming cactus and hummingbirds or chili peppers in 3 colors.  Mexican toothpick flags make a nice, unexpected detail. Finally, brighten the mood with a set of margarita string lights and red chili pepper string lights along the bar.
