Happy Cinco De Mayo

<div>Since it's Cinco De Mayo, I thought I would give you some inspiration for a Mexican wedding. Bright colors, festive music and spicy food create the setting for a hot Latin night! Decorate with Mexican paper flags, paper flowers, and pinatas.  The pinatas can be filled with fun goodies that serve as your guest favors.  Mariachis playing for the cocktail and traditional Mexican folk dancers for entertainment. Food should be traditional with a creative twist. Taco bar, mini green tamales, and, for dessert, tres leche cake and Mexican wedding cookies.  Ole!</div><div> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRsJSRf2fThgB3kg_UaPgkNeoCHV6Dq_qMbQid7oDqOmjK0bOFRp3N5tAdNJho7QVD6JJJ8xs0RDf6mmfi5aE6k-xU5Cx1F1xmIQkOQPzd-9FZPt1aXpBZNpD_avwx5lAm5jjAYeYn9F6I/s1600-h/cincodemayo.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332470361555344722" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHNmp9eEyB1iOkzq432SV7WIdBzweNwJhs5KiC6AmbkIIkCrMEQsureZEDY2paLLN9VYXNbbcpk3Y4Z4nzNNHKDE0RRCqxzTy5eyu9MZaBa8gvXsrk1Pqx24f_u6oaN5Bcmt4Qir4iw0xb/s400/mosaic252631.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Images: Top Row: Cake, Favor and Table from <a href="http://Brides.com/">Brides.com</a>, Folk Dancer from <a href="http://mexicolindoidaho.com/">Mexico Lindo</a> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Second Row: Tile Placecards from <a href="http://www.lhcalligraphy.com/">Laura Hopper, </a>Dress image from <a href="http://simplysmittenbrides.blogspot.com/"> Simply Smitten Brides, </a>Mexican Cookies from<a href="http://sprinklesandjimmies.com/"> Sprinkles and Jimmies</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Third Row: Margarita image from <a href="http://www.edibleportland.com/">Edible Portland</a>, Table Setting image from <a href="http://snippetandink.blogspot.com/">Snippet and Ink</a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Forth Row:  Paper Flowers from <a href="http://www.diversitystore.com/ds/index.cfm/category/168/hispanic.cfm">Diversity Store</a>, Bar Image from <a href="http://www.simplynaturalevents.com/">Simply Natural Events</a>, Mariachis image from, Pinata image from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/linda_uruchurtu/237949880/in/photostream/">Flickr</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div>
