Fiesta Bridal Shower


Here is a look at a fiesta theme bridal shower we put together. Maybe it will give you ideas for when you plan a fiesta.It was really fun to put together since you have a lot of options for this theme. We wanted to stick to not too much red, and keep it girly. We dug into some of our old pieces we used for past parties and transformed them to fit the theme. 


We did a How many m&m's are in a jar as one of the prize games. 


Mexican blankets make great table runners.



A little sangria station was very much needed!


 Indoor dessert table due to the hot weather turned out to be cute. The area was unexpected but we made it work.


The outdoor food area was organized by labels I came up with on publisher and printed out. Making things yourself is a lot more inexpensive!


My favorite was the centerpieces as they were El Pato sauce cans with cacti. I was happy to hear that the bride is obsessed with cacti just like me. It made it even more fun to share some of my cacti from my garden to use as decor. 




Each guest was given a maraca wrapped in tissue paper. Such a cute gift for guests.


Here is how we used the handmade tissue paper flowers. We used them as backdrop for photos. It is a bit difficult to figure out where to place Photo areas, or tables when you have no idea what the place looks like until the day of the party, but you gotta work with what you get. In the end it all turned out pretty great!

Golden Books Bridal Shower Diy

 
This is the first part of our Bridal Shower planning series. This past month we celebrated our dear friends bridal shower and planned, decorated, and even made the cake for the shower. I loved how everything turned out and it felt good to say we made everything ourselves. It was simple yet elegant with gold and pink as the main colors. Here's one of my favorite projects we did for the party, and I love how I can still use them as everyday home décor and for other parties in the future.
 
For this Golden Book DIY you will need the following:
Gold spray paint- $2.99 Walmart
Old Hardcover Books- .50-$3.00 Yard sales/ thrift stores
 
 
We wanted to have these books be our centerpieces so we went with a big book on the bottom and placed smaller ones on top. You want to make sure the pages are all intact and the edges are in good condition, otherwise you'll end up with a highly noticeable damaged, golden book.

 
Spray away. It's that simple. Just make sure you allow it to fully dry or else your fingerprints will show up on the surface. It amazes me how an old book can change into something elegant looking in an instant. Gold spray paint does make everything better!
 
 
I used all these items as décor pieces that I will be showing on later posts
Cardboard Letters-$2.50 on sale Hobby Lobby
Little Love sign- $2.99 Hobby Lobby
Mason Jars- .99
 
.
 
You can add Glitter if you would like for a special touch.
