Throw a Cactus Fiesta Party

Hello, friends!

Cinco de Mayo is approaching and I am getting excited! Who’s with me? To help you plan and celebrate this fun holiday, I am showing you how you can throw a Cactus Fiesta Party!

A Cactus Entertaining Line by Better Homes and Gardens was the inspiration for this little set up. It’s sold at Walmart. No, this is not sponsored. I just want to share with you where I purchased these fun cactus plates, cups and tray.  I am in love! My family will definitely be using them throughout Spring and Summer.

I also purchased guacamole serving bowls. I am planning to serve Tortilla soup in them for Cinco de Mayo. How fun is that?

PARTY DECOR IDEA

I incorporated once again a DIY balloon garland. I used 5″ pink, lime green & clear balloons. I filled the clear ones with matching shredded paper (leftover from Easter), but you can use confetti instead.

I found mini cacti at Michael’s and painted the pots to match my color scheme.

SWEETS

• Cake

Incorporate a simple buttercream cake and decorate it to match your theme.

I used one of my mini cacti, removed it from the pot to use it as a cake topper. It’s made out of Styrofoam, so I inserted toothpicks to easily place it on my cake. I loved the fact it didn’t add too much weight to it. I finished the look by adding a fresh pink flower.

• Brigadeiros

I had to make some brigadeiros once again! And they are Margarita Brigadeiros! Yes, Margarita Brigadeiros! They are super delicious and just perfect for Cinco de Mayo! I simply topped vanilla cupcakes with our Margarita Brigadeiros for a fun presentation!

FUN DIY IDEA –  ‘Maraca’ Balloons

I had filled some balloons with shredded paper for my garland when my 3-year-old daughter grabbed one and started to shake it around the house. I immediately had the idea of using them as maracas as well. Good thing I had all the supplies from my Halloween Ghost Balloon Wand Tutorial.

To recreate them you will need the following supplies:

• 5″ balloons
• Shredded paper (to mimic the noise of a maraca)
• Balloon sticks
• Balloon cups
• Paper straws
• Clear Tape
• Curly ribbon (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Using a mini funnel, fill up the balloon with shredded paper.
2. Attach the balloon stick to the cup.
3. Blow up the balloon and attach it to the cup.
4. Insert a paper straw through the balloon stick and secure it with tape.
5. Finish the look by adding fun curly ribbon.

Last but not least….
