Cinco de Mayo Party Decorations

The traditional decor for a Cinco de Mayo affair include serapes, pinatas and Mexican hats. In addition to using these items in your decor scheme, incorporate the following:

Citrus-Inspired
Capture elements of Spring and set the scene by implementing touches of citrus. Think bowls of lemons and limes or citrus fruit topiaries.

Decorating with fruit is easy, will enhance your theme and adds a touch of class to the atmosphere.

Keep Clean Up Easy
Depending on the number of guests you've invited, you may want to opt for disposable dishware. Stick to solid colors so that you can reuse the unused dishware on another occasion.

Consider using red, white or green to commemorate the Mexican flag or yellow, lime or orange to enhance your citrus theme.

Consider your menu as well. Salsa and guacamole will look best in a color that contrasts, such as yellow. Tortilla chips will pop in green or red bowls.
