Celebrate numero uno with a vibrant fiesta first birthday party for a very special boy or girl! This bright, fun-filled party is all about celebrating with good food, family, and lots of colorful decorations. The bold Fiesta Balloon Garland sets the scene for this party and is complete with tacos, avocados, and more! Multiple piñatas, colorful place settings, and cactus decorations galore make this fiesta extra special and one that will be remembered for years.
Fiesta Food Table
Quickly turn a plain table into colorful eye candy with just a few simple party supplies.
First, we covered the top of our table with a striped sarape table runner, complete with adorable white fringe on the ends.
Next, fringe garland was layered across the front of the table in multiple colors that matched the rest of the party. A darling Boho Pom-Pom Garland draped on top tied the table together perfectly!
It just wouldn't be a fiesta without plenty of chips and salsa. We filled up the cutest cactus glasses with tortilla chips that are easy to grab and already portioned into individual servings.
Colorful bowls were filled with different salsa varieties. The cutest mini guitar was propped up onto the cake plate that held our chips.
Bright fringe place mats were placed under the cake plates and donkey piñatas to add even more color to the party!
A cactus decoration sat on each cake plate, and tied in perfectly with the little cactus glasses that were filled with "dirt" for the kiddos (chocolate pudding with a crushed Oreo "dirt" topping).
A white vase was filled with striped fiesta flags that matched well with the striped runner.
I love when I can find decor that serves multiple purposes! The large donkey piñata was filled with candy and doubled as a table decoration until the time came for the kids to break it open.
Adorable taco truck boxes looked great on the table, and were perfect for guests to put their piñata candy in after the party.
Two large cactus decorations, one on each side of the table, were also used later in the party as a game.
Balloon Garland Backdrop
Our colorful balloon garland backdrop truly set the scene for this birthday bash.
Tiny tacos, honeycomb avocados, and honeycombs with tassels made our fiesta balloon garland really stand out.

Fiesta Place Settings
Each place setting at the fiesta was filled with fun colors and cactus decorations that tied the two tables together.
A bright felt placemat sat under each green plate while a maraca plate sat on top and was accompanied by a fiesta napkin on each side.
Cute lime green cactus cups with straws sat on striped napkins, and were perfect for the little ones to drink out of without having to worry about spills. Kids could also take them home as another party favor!
Mini donkey piñatas fit right in with our overall party theme and the kids loved playing with them!
Treat-filled cactus favor boxes were scattered across the table for everyone to take home as well. Around the edge of the table was orange fiesta fringe to match the fringe on the food table.
Striped ponchos and giant sombreros looked great placed onto the back of each guest's chair.
