Mexican Themed Bridal Shower

Hola! My brother got married over the summer and I was tasked with a typical bridesmaid duty of helping to throw the bridal shower.  Allison's sister is still in college and has never been in a wedding let alone thrown a shower so I took charge on this one with help from all of the bridal party of course.

We decided to go with a Mexican theme due to the fact that their wedding was going to be in Mexico and we decided to make it co-ed so it could double as their at home reception/party for everyone who couldn't make the trip to Mexico.

We set up a salsa bar adorned with homemade salsas, a yummy 7 layer dip and tons of chips.

 The bar was a huge hit with two types of sangria and two kegs.  The logo'd cups were a huge hit and an extra favor for everyone to take home.

 We did the fruit on skewers for the sangria so it didn't clog the jar.

The full bar.

A taco bar spread was a great way to feed a large group and all of the prep was done ahead of time.

 Lots of bright colors and a multitude of hot sauces.

Signage is always a must!

The favor table full of Mexican hot chocolate.  

The Mexican blankets and sombreros served as great decor.

 The dessert table was inside to prevent melting and donned pictures of the beautiful couple.

They opened present in the decorated gazebo.

I highly suggest doing a Mexican fiesta next time you have to throw a big party.  It was so fun to decorate and pretty cheap to feed a large group.
