Any ideas for a fiesta-themed bridal shower?

Question

My daughter's maid-of-honor and her bridesmaid are hosting her bridal shower next month. It will be fiesta-themed, and they are needing ideas for decorations, food, games, etc. Anyone have some suggestions?

Answer 1

Taco Bar:

Soft Shells

Hard Shells

Beans

Shredded Chicken

Ground Beef

Tomatoes

Lettuce

Limes

Sour Cream

Cheese

Avocado

Spanish Style Rice



Sides:

Chips

Salsa

Guacamole

Drinks:

Horchata (non alcoholic Spanish sweet milk/rice drink)

Alcoholic Drinks (Mikes Hard Lemonades ect)

Margaritas

Games:

*Purse power*

This is a great game! Have all the guests have their purses in front of them for this game. Make a list (beforehand) of common and uncommon things that can be found in a woman's purse. Assign each item a point value. (hairbrush might be worth 2 points, lipstick 3 points/5 if it is red, mirror...etc.) Uncommon items should have a higher point value (lotion, staple remover....you get the idea!) Liven things up a bit and put down a condom and value that at 20 points! The list is endless and is great fun! Keep the items simple and not too uncommon or you may wind up with an unhappy guest who doesn't have anything but a wallet in her purse!!

VARIATION to this game might be: Have the BRIDE to be hold the "master" and let her decide what "item" should be found and the first person to present that item receives the points for that round. You will need a score keeper or let them keep their own.

*Wedding Bingo*

(not this is NOT the traditional bingo game that you have to buy!) Make up some Blank Bingo Cards for each guest to fill in what they think the bride to be gifts will be. As the gifts are opened the guests mark off their "item" if they have it on their card. When the card is full they win a prize. (If no card is completed, give it to the person that marked off the most items)

*Clothes Pins*

You start with a hanger with about 20 clothes pins on it. Each person gets a turn to get as many clothes pins off without dropping any and only using one hand to hold the hanger and the other hand to take the clothes pins off. When a clothes pin is dropped you count how many they got off and the person who gets the most pins wins.

*Other Clothes Pin Game*

Every guest gets one at the beginning. If they are caught Crossing There Legs, whoever catches them can request a clothespin. Whoever has the most clothespins at the end of the party (or set time) wins. (You only lose one at a time). Alternatively you can lose it if saying the Bride and Grooms name, or anything else that people will have a hard time avoiding.

*Who am I?*

A perfect way to start a shower. Prepare ahead of time by writing the name of a famous person, singer, actor/actress on a 3x5 index card or piece of paper. As each guest arrives pin one of the "tags" on her back without her knowing her "secret identity". The task is for the guest to find out who she is by asking others questions which can only be answered with a yes or no. This is a great way for guests to get mingling right away so there is no awkward “waiting around”
