Break out the tequila and bags of tortilla chips because it’s time to celebrate what some refer to as Mexico’s Independence Day. It’s a fiesta with vibrant colors and plenty of decorations. Send out your festive invitations; indulge in your streamers, colorful table and chair linens, bright flower arrangements, and scattered balloons. Cinco de Mayo is a fun time to celebrate with your family and friends. Get the kids involved by making the décor together, such as the centerpieces or balloon arrangements.

What’s a Cinco de Mayo party without a piñata? Fill it up with candies and treats to add to the fun with the kids. Mexican cuisine is a menu favorite at this time; caterers are on deck waiting to prepare for your big event. Rent a Margarita machine for the adults to enjoy, or just hire a bar staff and keep the tequila flowing all night. And what’s any party without music!? A Mariachi band would be perfect for this occasion! We can help you find one in your area; or at least a DJ to play your favorite music.

How do you celebrate Mother’s Day? We envision special cards, Flower Bouquets, gift baskets, and banners saying “You’re #1 Mom!” But how about throwing her a surprise party? Discretely invite all of your family members. Prepare the party according to what your mother would like; i.e. her favorite flowers, colors, foods, games, and music. Maybe have everyone dress up reflective of the year your mother was born and have a contest for best dressed. Food being one of the greatest aspects of any party, you should cater to your mothers tastes and likings. If her favorite food is Italian, find a catering company that can supply all you need. If she likes snack like nachos and hot dogs, maybe a food cart will do the job.

A personalized Mother’s day cake can be the “frosting on the cake”, if you catch my drift. A custom cake makes anyone feel absolutely fabulous and special. Keep the children busy with a bounce house, so the focus can stay on mama and she doesn’t have to feel obligated to be grandma on her special day. Something that might be fun for everyone is to set up a karaoke machine, so everyone can participate in the joys of the evening. Another gift you can give your mother aside from a card, flowers, and a party is a slide show of all the wonderful family photos you can compile. Your mother will be so touched by your efforts alone.
