What pairs well with a margarita? Colorful cacti, beautiful blooms, glimmering gold pinatas, and modern maracas.
Bienvenido
Although, nothing is lost in translation here. Invitations from Minor Details Cle help set the tone of the event with clean designs, and simple lines accented by playful fonts and pops of bright color. (Who doesn't love a string of mini pink tassels?)
Fun Surprises
Treat your guests to a few personalized touches: with their own hand-lettered shakers, sugar cookies, and surprise mini piñata favors, of course! To tie the maracas in with the party palette, Berger opted for plain mint and coral shakers to embellish with a simple gold leaf technique. Tuck the finished product into an artfully folded mint colored napkin and ta-da—guests are ready to party!
Staying Sharp
Potted moon and pincushion cacti scattered along the runner added extra dimension to the beautiful bouquets."The refined color palette allowed the florals and cacti to take center stage, giving the fiesta a chic, feminine vibe," says Berger.
Party perk: these prickly little plants—low-maintenance and lovely to look at—can also double as take-home favors!
Scoop 'Em Up
On the Mexican-inspired menu were mini tacos, avocado and fire-roasted corn crostinis, and one party-sized salsa and guacamole tray (Berger's party pick!): "It is incredibly simple to whip together, yet looks impressive and feeds a crowd."
As for a sweet finish, guests indulged in Itty Bitty Bakeshop's cactus-shaped sugar cookies, Sugarfina's Casamigos gummy candies, and one stunning, hand-painted vanilla buttercream cake courtesy of Kelsey Elizabeth Cakes.
Sip, Sip Hooray!
When building the perfect bar cart, be sure to spruce up the space with some themed decor as well, such as mini tasseled garlands and potted cacti in various sizes.
As for keeping your guests well-quenched (minus the stress), Berger recommends mixing your cocktails in large batches beforehand so guests can easily serve themselves throughout the party. For a finishing look, add simple garnishes to each glass such as salted rims, sliced fresh fruit, or these Eliza Made's festive "fiesta" drink stirrers.

Tiny Takeaways
For a festive farewell, send guests home with these mini cactus pinatas, custom made by Lula Flora, and perfectly sized to hold a mini bottle of tequila (to end things on a high note!). "I love when a party favor not only ties in the party theme, but also allows me to send my guests home with something they will appreciate and enjoy."
