Celebrating Cinco de Mayo can be stress-free if you keep it simple. Less is more, right? When planning a party always remember to think practical, use what you already have and if someone offers to help, say yes - that extra bag of ice could free up some time to be used fancying up another part of your gathering.
Now, here are a few tips and ideas to help you spice up your Cinco de Mayo party this year.
Decorations
-Check out this DIY for mini pinatas that can easily be converted into a larger party decoration and activity.-Upgrade paper flowers you made in elementary school to these hanging paper flowers that add a little more class.
Food

It will bring a little zing to the stereotypical party food.-Minimize your party workload by providing a taco bar. Guests will enjoy the variety as well as making their own tacos to meet their preference.

Drinks
