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 considering throwing a Mexican party theme then take a look at 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 aim to wear a traditional Mexican peasant dress. Make sure you get a matching head piece and also a 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 Mexican flags, small and large for the walls and tables!

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. Get plenty of tortillas and tacos! Have a large selection of beef and chili dishes for your guests to pick and choose from!

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!
