Decorating ideas for a mexican themed party?!
Answers: will serve all the mexican foods of course...
When decorating, think desert / fiesta style.
A good color basis is red, green, and yellow.
There are endless possibilities as how to decorate.
Eatery:
-NAPKINS
-PLATES
-FORKS / SPOONS / KNIVES
-CUPS
Decorations:
-LIGHTS
-BANNER
-BALLOONS
-TABLECLOTH
-CONFETTI
-LANTERNS
-SOMBREROS
-MARACAS
You can decorate with the sombreros and then give them to your guests.
If there will be kids at the party, you can give them these things:
-BEADED NECKLACES
-CHILI PEPPER BEADED NECKLACES
-LIGHT UP MARACAS
-PINATA
-MINI PINATAS
-FIESTA NOISEMAKERS
-FIESTA TOTE BAGS
-INFLATABLE FIESTA THINGS
-FIESTA BADGE HOLDERS
-CACTUS PENS
-CACTUS NOTEPADS
-CHILI PEPPER GUMMIS
-MARACA SUCKERS
-LIGHT ROPE NECKLACES
-CACTUS GAME
-PLUSH CHILI PEPPERS
Maybe make flowers out of tissue paper, then make them into a mexican flower garland. Hang them thru out the party area.
Crepe paper can be used to hang streamers from the ceiling, wrap poles and chairs, and loop across the fronts of tablecloths. Large, colorful cutouts of cactus, desert flowers, chili peppers, and the sun.
Purchase strands of festive lights to string around the room, hang brightly colored cloth on the walls or drape them on the chairs, and you have instant ambiance. Helium filled balloons in red, green, orange and yellow colors will give the party a more festive atmosphere.
Party favors such as brightly colored bandanas, sombrero hats and maracas can be placed in a large basket near the door. Invited guests can choose a favor as they are entering your fiesta.
Consider hiring a professional dance instructor to attend for an hour or so, offering tango, mambo and salsa lessons to your guests. Be sure to stock up on some good Latin dance music. Even mariachi music is great.
If you can find mini pinatas place them on the table as centerpieces or fill a sombrero with tortilla chips. Think beyond plain salsa and chips. Offer a variety of different salsas for your guests to try. Spicy tomato salsa, Monterey jack salsa (made with black olives, Monterey jack cheese, tomatoes and green onions) and tomato peach salsa are all good choices. For an even more creative flair, serve fruit salsa with cinnamon crispas for dessert.

I know this sounds silly, but it looks really nice once you are done and it always adds to the theme of a party. Wrap all of the pictures you have on your walls in paper and decorate them. For a Mexican party you might want to get green white and red wrapping paper. Then draw or print out mexican themed pictures. A map of Mexico, maracas, a burro, sombrero, etc. You get the point.
