Easy Taco bout Cinco De Mayo party decorations

Today I am sharing Easy taco ’bout Cinco De Mayo Party decorations!

You are going to love how simple and colorful they are and how inexpensive they are too!

Taco ’bout party paper garlands

Firstly I want to talk about the garlands because they add such a fun flair to any party.

You could make these yourself by using a Cricut machine to cut out letters or trace them and cut them out by hand from gold glitter paper.

Then simply attach them onto a piece of twine.

Super cheap and easy to make Or buy one all ready made here. Remember when I made a gold “As sweet as honey” garland for my granddaughter’s 1st birthday it really turned out so cute

For the Mexican Fiesta tassel garland you could make one using napkins like this tutorial or buy one already made.

Enchilada tin cans as planters and vases

I absolutely love this idea of recycling enchilada sauce tin cans as vases.

The bright colors of El Pato enchilada tin cans are perfect for this!

Planting them with succulents or filling them with bright colored flowers is so festive!

Easy Taco bout a Cinco De Mayo Party Cake

Look how cute this Mexican Fiesta cake is! A friend of my daughters actually made this for her party.

To recreate it easily, purchase a smooth frosted cake from the bakery. This will become the centerpiece of the taco bout cinco de mayo party!

Add sliced limes all around the top and bottom edges.

Add in bright pink daisey’s all around the cake.

For the topper you could place a faux cactus in the middle.

This one is made from fondant.

It is so cute isn’t it!

Setting up the Taco Bar

For the taco bar Emily served grilled chicken tacos with all the fixings. Here is my favorite easy grilled chicken recipe.

Guacamole, salsa, sour cream, cheese, sliced limes, olives, beans, corn and corn chips.

Using a cute letterboard you can make a cute sign like Emily did here. “Surround yourself with tacos not negativity”

Fresh cut up watermelon is perfect to serve because it is so refreshing. When we did Emily’s Fiesta themed baby shower we served little cups with watermelon, pineapple and Jicama sticks.

You can see all the details here

Adding pineapple toppers to glazed donuts makes them look like pineapples for a fun little treat.

Em and Kev had a great time with friends and celebrating their new home.

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
