Creative Cinco de Mayo Party Invitations
Fake Maracas: Cinco de Mayo Party Invitation
Find two wooden or plastic thread spools in your sewing kit which are almost out of thread. They can be any size, as long as you have two that are the same size as each other. Remove any remaining thread.
Paint the two wooden thread spools black. Stick a craft stick through the middle of the spool. If the craft stick is too big, cut it with scissors. Other options you can use: pipe cleaners or painted straws. Tip: although the handle is just for show, reinforce a straw handle by squeezing white Elmer’s glue into both sides and letting the glue dry.
Decorate the spools with bands of yellow, red and green electrical or other colored tape.
Attach a piece of tan thread with the words, “Cinco de Mayo Party” attached.
Teeny Tiny Sombrero Cinco de Mayo Party Invitation
Wash and dry the cover of any plastic water or soda bottle. Cut out a small circle of paper, to make the brim of the hat. Glue the cap onto the paper. Roll the sides of the circle up slightly with your fingers. Paint the entire teeny tiny sombrero a bright yellow. Attach a small thread to the hat with glue, to look like a chin strap.
Write a tiny invitation and fold it up, using your best secret note folding techniques from middle school. Stick the paper into the cap. This creative Cinco de Mayo Party Invitation is not recommended for children, especially children who are three and under.
Mini Cactus Cinco de Mayo Party Invitation
Purchase real mini cacti for Cinco de Mayo guests. Make your own labels to wrap around the exterior of the terra cotta pots. The labels should read: “One Cinco de Mayo Party Invitation. Add: you. Water frequently. Keep well-fed. Add relevant party details. If you need more room to write the Cinco de Mayo party details, use both sides of the paper
Tape the label to the pot, but do not glue it down if you wrote information on both sides of the paper.
Hot Stuff Salsa Cinco de Mayo Party Invitation
Send over a jar of your favorite gourmet or homemade salsa. Write “Hey, hot stuff, we’ re having a Cinco de Mayo party and you’re invited!”
Have with these and your own creative ideas for inviting guests to a Cinco de Mayo party.
