A Mexican party theme is an opportunity to sing, dance and eat lovely Mexican dishes. They happen traditionally on public holidays in Mexico but also in many parts of western USA.

If you are wanting to throw your very own Mexican party theme for your friends, family and neighbors, then take some suggestions and inspiration from our Mexican party theme ideas below:

1. Send out your invitations on a sombrero hat. You can buy miniature ones for cheap. Otherwise you can cut and paint some sombreros out from cardboard and send them out to your guests.

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. The guys get to wear a serape and Mexican poncho. Also don’t miss out on a sombrero hat. Consider extras such as pistols in a holster. As an alternative, you could dress up as Zorro!

4. Get plenty of small Mexican flags and place all over the room. Also get a few big flags for the walls.

5. The Mexican colors are green, white and red. Get balloons in these three colors!

6. Create a table centre piece with a large novelty sombrero hat. Scatter chilis around this centre piece, which is also where the food should be!

7. You should have plenty of tacos and tortillas. Have bowls of chili and beef dishes and allow your guests to take and try out what they please.

8. The drink of choice at a Mexican party theme is Corona and lime. Also Tequila and lots of it, but make sure its quality Tequila!

9. The best music to play at a Mexican party is Samba music. This will encourage the dancing to happen!
