A Mexican party theme is your opportunity to dance, sing, drink and eat delicious Mexican dishes. Mexican parties traditionally happen on public holidays in Mexico and also the western USA.

If you’re thinking of throwing your very own Mexican party theme for your friends, neighbors and family, then follow our Mexican party theme ideas below:

1. Cut out some sombrero hat shapes from cardboard for your invitations. You could also buy miniature sombreros to send your invites out on.

2. The ladies should try and get a lovely Mexican peasant dress. They come with all sorts of accompaniments such as a headpiece and lei necklace.

3. Guys, your costume will consist of a serape and Mexican poncho. Also get yourself a sombrero hat otherwise your costume wouldn’t be complete. An extra item of choice would be a pistol in a holster. Dressing up as Zorro would be a neat alternative!

4. Get plenty of small Mexican flags and place all over the room. Also get a few big flags for the walls.

5. The Mexican colors are green, white and red. Get balloons in these three colors!

6. Create a centre piece on a large table. Place the food on this table along with sombrero hats and chili’s scattered around.

7. You should have plenty of tacos and tortillas. Have bowls of chili and beef dishes and allow your guests to take and try out what they please.

8. The drinks of choice at your Mexican party theme are of course Tequila and Corona and lime. Make sure you get plenty in!

9. The best music to play at a Mexican party is Samba music. This will encourage the dancing to happen!
