There’s no need to go all-out or spend a fortune putting together your party. A simple get-together with family and friends can create a ton of fun memories, if you know how to do it right.
To put everyone in the mood, be sure to decorate the party venue with colorful banners, sombreros and Mexican flags. Play Latin music while dancing and trying out Mexican games. You can even ask the guests to come dressed in green, red, and white for some great photo opportunities.
Of course a great party is never complete without great food. Feel free to order Benito’s greatly raved about authentic Mexican dishes – chile rellenos, enchiladas, guacamole, pico de gallo, queso flamedo, and more!
2. Record a performance.
Ready to let loose and show off your silly side? Get the kids involved and record a Mexican song or dance. You can even have creative fun reenacting the Battle of Puebla and taking a video of it. Share your performance on social media to celebrate with friends located long distance, virtually bringing them in on the fun. Who knows? Your video may even go viral!
3. Create an artistic souvenir.
Design a Mexican costume or sombrero to wear for the day or for a party, or come up with arts and crafts activities for the family. Surely the kids will love it. You can educate them about history, while allowing them to practice squeezing out their creative juices.
Moreover, you can come up with souvenirs to use as party giveaways or tokens to give to your Mexican loved ones.
