Mingle with Margaritas and Mocktails

There’s nothing like a festive mix of margaritas and mocktails to liven up an afternoon. When the family salsa recipe is matched with nachos, beer, and a generous serving of guac, it’s a fiesta in the making. We celebrated a milestone family event recently, and here we share a peek at the vivid colors and casual style of the occasion. The gathering highlighted a personal touch to make it more meaningful for the guests-of-honor and to demonstrate the care and love of those who created it.

Here are a few details and photos from behind the scenes. We hope this serves as inspiration when you’re looking to spice things up with a little fiesta fun of your own:

  • Hand-stenciled party favors in drawstring bags, complete with the couple’s event logo, are filled with Mexican candies and topped with colorful, mini tissue flowers.

  • Taco string lights laced across the front of the table are a fun surprise and add the perfect touch.

  • A custom cherry and black walnut gift card box with white maple accent corners adds texture and beautiful craftsmanship to the display (We made the box.). Cards and well wishes from each guest are placed in the box, which can be used for programs or cards on the wedding day and later to showcase treasures and heirlooms in the couple’s home.

  • A glass vase filled with white stones, lush green cactus, and succulents creates a vivid contrast to the tissue flowers that dot the tables.

  • A variety of recycled glass whiskey bottles make the perfect vase for long-stemmed tissue flowers.

  • Finally, a venue with bright murals creates a striking backdrop for yellow and white tablecloths that serve as the centerpiece foundation.
