If your love for tacos runs deep, celebrate your love and engagement with a "Let's Taco Bout Love" Engagement Fiesta! Keep things casual and fun with this bright colored fiesta perfect for the taco loving couple. Filled with fiesta themed party decorations and tacos with all the fixings, this fiesta has it all including a delicious salsa recipe and taco bar ideas! While we like this themed for an engagement party or bridal shower it's a versatile theme that would work for a birthday party or baby shower too.
Taco Bar Backdrop
Start with a bold fringe backdrop to set the tone. Simply hang up several Fiesta Fringe Garlands on your wall with removable wall hangers, layering and alternating the colors. Hang the Taco Bar Garland and Taco Garland in front and you're all set. Since every Fiesta should have a pinata, keep things casual with a fun Taco Pinata!
The Taco Bar
You can't express your love (for tacos) without a taco bar and letter board sign! Celebrate the newly engaged couple with a personalized Letter Board Kit decked out with a Mini Donkey Pinata and a festive Mini Sombrero Pinata. Don't forget the extra toppings for your tacos! Fiesta Fan Picks coordinate perfectly with the bright colored Fiesta Party Luncheon Napkins to carry on the theme.
Of course, you'll want to serve your favorite Tacos with all the fixings and a fresh batch of Salsa. See my easy and delicious Salsa Recipe HERE. You can either set up the Taco Bar for guests to build their own tacos, or you can serve them assembled and ready for extra toppings. Hard shell tacos go great with this theme and don't have to be served "hot", but soft tacos are delicious too. You may need a tortilla warmer for soft tacos, though. Be sure to have extra fresh Serrano Chiles on hand, they make a great garnish for your taco platter. If you are serving meat tacos, create a Nacho Bar with extra toppings for your vegetarian guests to enjoy. You can even create a Taco Salad Bar for guests watching their carbs!
You can never have too many decorations at a fiesta. So add a coordinating garland to the front of your Taco Bar and don't forget the Jarritos! Available in several flavors (and bright colors), this Mexican beverage is sure to be a guest favorite!
The Fiesta Table
Bright and bold place settings paired with a Marquee centerpiece is sure to get the fiesta started! The Colorful Flower Garland and on trend TACOS Marquee Letters make a great table centerpiece that is easy to recreate. Add a few more Mini Cactus and Donkey Pinatas in between the letters for extra detail.
I can't host a party without party favors and these Mini Taco Coin Purses and Fiesta Mini Buttons make great party favors. The "punny" mini buttons are sure to get a chuckle.
The Fiesta Mni Buttons also make great napkin "rings". Simply pin them to the Fiesta Luncheon Napkins and add Gold Cutlery. Don't forget the plastic Margarita Glasses to toast the Engaged Couple! Add a Fiesta Beverage Napkin, Fiesta Paper Straw with a Flower Tissue Topper and you're ready for Margaritas, blended or on the rocks!
