FUN Fiesta Ideas

It’s Fiesta time and iParty has fun and colorful fiesta party supplies for you! iParty is your one-stop shop for Mexican themed decorations, paper goods and wearables. But before you head to your local store, check out a few FUN iParty ideas and tips for planning the perfect Fiesta.

Set The Mood:

Fiesta cutouts, colored streamers, paper goods, sombreros and maracas… iParty has it all! Set the mood for your fiesta by hanging streamers and white Christmas lights all around your party area. Dress up your tables with brightly colored table covers, confetti, and tissue paper flowers or piñatas for centerpieces. Hang a Mariachi Dancer Wall Scene Setter on the wall, Mexican flags all around, and colorful paper lanterns from the ceiling. Don’t forget about the inflatable cactus!

Fiesta Food for Thought

The key ingredient to a successful fiesta party is the FOOD, of course! To celebrate fiesta, you must have some tasty Mexican food to serve your guests. Here are a few ideas:

• Tacos & Burritos – Set up a “Make Your Own Taco and Burrito” bar.
• Enchiladas
• Quesadillas
• Taco Salad
• Mexican rice and refried beans
• Nachos

Be sure to pick up some fun dip bowls, chili pepper snack trays and a fiesta platter to serve all the food on. iParty also carries an inflatable fiesta cooler to keep your canned and bottled drinks cold!

You’ll need something fruity to wash down all that food. Why not make some frozen margaritas or sangria? Pull the blender out and mix up!

Entertain Your Guests

What’s a fiesta without music? Hire a Mariachi band or play some salsa music and dance the night away. If you need a break from dancing play some games: a Mexican hat dance, cactus ring toss, or even a limbo contest. Don’t forget a tradition burro piñata!

Shake, shake, shake!
Festive maracas are a must at any fiesta! Let guests show their creative side by decorating their own! Provide one set of solid color maracas for each guest. Create a decorating station including inexpensive paint, brushes, glue, stickers, glitter and other craft supplies. Use an empty egg carton to set maracas on to dry. And don’t forget, before your guests arrive create a sample set of maracas for inspiration.
