Cinco de Mayo Party

April 20, 2018~ Cinco de Mayo, Cocktails, Parties & entertaining, tablescape

The crowning glory of this weeks’ Cinco de Mayo preparations (and celebrations) is this party. I brought together all the elements I’ve been sharing all week, and now we get to party! If you’re not going to – or hosting – a Cinco de Mayo Party you need to re-evaluate your friendship circle because DAYUM.

also, a quick side note, Cinco de Mayo is not really a thing in Mexico. It’s technically the celebratory commemoration of a military victory over the french. It’s mainly a north american construct aka an excuse for a party, and I’m OK with that. I just wanted to contextualize it for you in case you were unsure.

Grab my DIY Bougie Pinata tutorial // my DIY Ombre Margarita Glasses // and my Cinco de Mayo Party Box 

Those are all Cinco de Mayo Party essentials – so if you haven’t been following along week, you better step-up your game! While you’re at it, grab my recipe for my spicy pomegranate margarita .

To put my Cinco de Mayo Party together, I essentially put everything in the party box, and then un-loaded it when I was ready to set-up. I am so happy with the explosion of colour and texture. Between all the cute mini party favors from Lula Floral Designs, and everything I handmade, you won’t find a more authentic party than this! *except maybe with actual Mexican food.

The tablescape is full of bright and colourful blooms, and some very simple apps aka chips and salsa. Because if this was the actual night of, I’d have made a reservation at the place in town #Iknowmystrengths #andmyweaknesses

In case you had any doubts about my DIY Ombre Margarita Glasses, as you can see they are indeed fabulous, and exactly what this party called for.

Honestly, between the mini pinatas and Miss. Vanjie my DIY Bougie Pinata, I’m not sure what I love more! Please let me know which ones you prefer in the comments below. Or don’t, it’s really up to you.

The flower plates with leaf napkins is pretty much the greatest combo ever, and I am so surprised that no one else thought of it first. I snagged the set at Homesense and am loving how they look at the Party. You may also recognize my Color Blocked Planters, that’s a DIY that keeps on giving.

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]

*insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from *insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from @mymitzi make this wet bar. Sure, secret thing else contributes to the #retroaesthetic , but lighting sets the mood. These brass sconces blend right in when they need to, but gleefully take center stage after dark. What do ya think?
