    Ladies,

    I just wondered what you thought of a wedding shower with a Cinco de Mayo theme? Is that a weird theme for a shower? The shower will probably be on either May 1 or 8, so that's what made me think of it. I'm a Spanish teacher, so it might be appropriate. However, we aren't likely to be able to afford a Mexico honeymoon.

    What do you think?

    I did something like this for my best friend (a fiesta bridal shower).  We had a delicious authentic mexican food buffet, a chocolate fountain, a piñata, and played limbo for one of the shower games.  We made big colorful paper flowers and had string lights for decorations.  And cactus centerpieces.  For favors, I did handpainted maracas with bf's name and date of shower, and tied a packet of mexican coco to it.  Everyone had a blast and me and the other bridesmaids got so many compliments on how it stood out from other showers.  I say go for it!

    LOVE IT!
    One of my showers is going to have an intentionally cheesey french theme. :]
