Cinco de Mayo – Fiesta Favors & Decorations

Set Cinco de Mayo tables with functional tableware and decorations that will make fantastic fiesta party favors and door prizes, too. Here are a few ways to get double the ping for the peso with Cinco de Mayo party supplies.

Tableware. Serve up cold cocktails in salt-rimmed cactus margarita glasses set on personalized coasters that match your La Fiesta banners or Festive Cactus Cinco de Mayo tableware kits.

Edibles. Similarly, you can deck tables with sweet treats, such as personalized chocolate lollipops or mint tins, which match your preferred Cinco de Mayo fiesta theme design (and provide a sweet foil to spicy fiesta food!). Create edible table bouquets by arranging lollipops in festive vases.

Candles. Use the fiesta candle set of four colorful, iconic shapes, our adorable margarita candles, or custom candle favors for the fiesta party as personal decorative and lighting additions to each table setting.

Wearables. Tie a sombrero to the back of each chair. Later, as folks naturally gravitate to putting them on, take photos with them under a personalized Fiesta arch (shown above right) or one of your festive Cinco de Mayo banners. Wrap chili pepper bracelets around napkin-bundled utensils.

Other. Place maracas with taller decorations, such as the cactus piñata, in centerpiece arrangements. Use chili pepper photo balloon holders for Del Sol mylar balloons or placecards at the fiesta party — they will make cute recipe card holders at home in the kitchen afterward.

Take a virtual stroll around the Cinco de Mayo party supplies store for more fiesta decoration and favor ideas.

Kentucky Derby Dream Parties

Make your picks for the Kentucky Derby, “the fastest two minutes in sports”, on Saturday, May 7, 2011. Host a “millionaire’s row” seat in front of your T.V. for “the run for the roses” and invite your favorite race fans! This race is packed with rich history and tradition; it is fun and easy to throw a Kentucky Derby party that puts you furlongs ahead with your guests. Here are some tips to bring Churchill Downs to your space:

Invitations
Send guests these Kentucky Derby invitations which are exquisitely imprinted with the officially licensed Kentucky Derby party logo. Encourage guests to come in Derby attire and don’t forget the elaborate, over-sized hat.

Decorations
For a more elaborate party, have your guests walk through a custom creation roses arch. For a party on the simpler side, have a custom creation roses column or two at the entrance. Raise the stakes and create a betting station for guests to place real or mock bets. Decorate your party space with bouquets of Kentucky Derby latex balloon with a brown horse mylar balloon in the center. Fill in your decorations with Kentucky Derby streamers.

Tableware
Set your tables with red gossamer and the elegant Kentucky Derby tableware. The rose topiary centerpiece is the perfect centerpiece for this party.

Menu
The traditional beverage is the mint julep, which is an iced drink made with bourbon, mint, and a sugar syrup. Treat your guests like wealthy horse owners and serve this drink in an ice-frosted silver cup or keep it simple and serve mint juleps in Kentucky Derby frosted cups.

A popular entrée served at the Derby is called burgoo. Burgoo is a thick stew made with beef, chicken, pork, and vegetables, and it is served with a side of mashed potatoes.

Party Favors
Treat your guests to personalized rose milk chocolate lollipops and add the Derby date on the label adorned with red roses. Give the guest that wins a bouquet of chocolate lollipops.
