Cinco de Mayo Decorations:

If you're looking for a way to make your Cinco de Mayo party a fiesta, look no further! We've got all the tips and tricks you need to create a festive atmosphere that will have your guests celebrating in style. From decorations to food and drinks, we'll show you how to throw the perfect Cinco de Mayo party!

Some history of the holiday of Cinco de Mayo:

The holiday of Cinco de Mayo is celebrated on May fifth and commemorates the Mexican army's victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the state of Puebla, but has become increasingly popular in other parts of Mexico and the United States in recent years.

In the current day, people celebrate Cinco de Mayo with parades, parties, mariachi music, and Mexican food.

Now that you know a little bit about the holiday, let's get into how you can decorate for a Cinco de Mayo party!

One of the most important aspects of any party is the decorations. You want your guests to feel like they're in for a fun time as soon as they walk through the door.

Streamers and Banners

For Cinco de Mayo decorations, we recommend hanging up colorful streamers and banners. Traditional Mexican colors are green, white, and red, so try to incorporate those into your decor. You can find banners and streamers at any party store or online retailer.

If you want to get a little more creative, you can make your own decorations! Paper flowers are always a popular choice. You can find tutorials for how to make them online or in craft stores.

DoorFotos

You should also check out DoorFoto for your Cinco de Mayo decoration needs. We offer our customers high quality, machine washable, athletic fabric door wraps. They go over your door just like a fitted bed sheet in only 28 seconds!

We have multiple Cinco de Mayo designs available such as this "Happy Cinco de Mayo" design that features a dark black backdrop with bright green, red and yellow circles and Cinco de Mayo symbols on it.

Or if you want something that is more traditional, we suggest this realistic "Cinco de Mayo Decorations" that focuses on a sombrero with the traditonal colors of red, white and green on it, with fireworks in the background!

Centerpieces

Add some cinco de mayo flair to your tables with colorful centerpieces. You can use flowers, candles, or even fruit to create beautiful and festive displays.

If you're looking for something a little different, try making a piñata centerpiece! Piñatas are traditional Mexican party games, and they make for great Cinco de Mayo decorations too. Just be sure to hang them out of reach of any small children who might be at your party.

You could always get a premade centerpiece at the store too. You can find some with traditional cinco de mayo symbols like sombreros and maracas, or you can find more general Mexican-themed centerpieces such as cacti or Day of the Dead skulls.

Balloons

No party is complete without balloons! Add some fun and color to your Cinco de Mayo party with brightly-colored balloons. You can find balloons in any party store, or you can order them online.

Be sure to get a mix of sizes and colors to really make your Cinco de Mayo decor pop. You can even get some shaped like cacti or sombreros for a fun touch.

Food and Drinks

Now that you've got your Cinco de Mayo decorations taken care of, it's time to start thinking about food and drinks... they are important of course and they can also double as decorations too!

For food, we recommend sticking to traditional Mexican dishes. Tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, guacamole, and chips are all great choices. You can find recipes for all of these dishes online or in cookbooks.

As for drinks, margaritas are always a hit at Cinco de Mayo parties! You can make them from scratch or buy them pre-made. If you're serving alcohol, be sure to have plenty of non-alcoholic options available as well. Water, soda, and juice are all good choices.

You can also get creative with your food and drink presentation. Serve your margaritas in glasses decorated with cacti or sombreros, or put your guacamole in a piñata. Have fun!

No matter what you choose, remember to have fun with your decorations! Cinco de Mayo is all about celebrating Mexican culture and having a good time.

We hope these tips help you throw the best Cinco de Mayo party ever!

Happy decorating!
