Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of Mexico's Independence from France back in the 1800's. You can celebrate this occasion by adding a revolutionary flair to your party. Invite guests to come dressed as their favored historical figures from the Mexican Revolutionary War. You can fly the Mexican flag and use the colors in your decorating theme with streamers, napkins, lanterns and even tablecloths.
The Cinco de Mayo celebration is traditionally loud and raucous. You can add to that with noisemakers and fireworks. Though you may wish to hold your party somewhere without a lot of neighbors to annoy or else make the decision to end the party at an appropriate time. In place of fireworks you can also give the kids sparklers and snaps in order to entertain themselves. Or set up the always popular Piñata for the guests to take turns swinging at. It should be more than enough to get your party going.
Instead of throwing a loud party for this holiday you can use as a chance to explore Mexican culture and history. Invite a small group of friends to go to a Mexican cultural center or museum in your area. Then for lunch you can go to a Mexican restaurant to eat. If you decide to stay home rent a movie about the Mexican Revolution for your guests. Or play some music from Mexico and serve up real traditional Mexican foods, not the Americanized versions we have here. Coconut Flan is a popular dessert, or serve up some Chocolate Atole for your guests. This is a hearty beverage with chocolate and corn flour traditionally served at breakfast. You can ask little trivia questions of the kids throughout the party in exchange for candy.
