With the end of summer upon us, now is the perfect time to host a backyard dinner party! Everyone loves margaritas and tacos, so why not make it a Mexican-themed party? With NOVICA‘s handcrafted items from Mexico, your guests will feel like they have been transported south of the border!
First things first, make sure you have plenty of drinks for everyone! The easiest solution is to mix up a big batch of homemade margaritas in a beautiful glass pitcher. This way your guests can serve themselves and no one is stuck playing bartender all evening. Also, choose some unique hand-blown glass cups for your guests to drink from. Include some Mexican sodas or juices as well for those who don’t want a margarita.
Have some appetizers set out for your guests when they arrive. No one wants to be sitting around hungry waiting for dinner to be ready! Chips and salsa or guacamole are classic Mexican party foods. They can be served from some authentic wooden salsa bowls.
Of course, for a dinner party, your tableware is important too! NOVICA has a large selection of hand-crafted Mexican ceramic dishes that are sure to wow your guests just as much as your delicious food! Put some beautifully crafted coasters and placemats down as well to protect your table and add more elegance and atmosphere to the place settings.
But wait! Before you can bring out your home-cooked Mexican feast, your guests have to be able to sit at the table! Don’t think that just any old chairs will work for this Mexican party. These striking folding chairs are made by hand in Mexico and are easy to move around your patio as needed for a party. Best of all, when the party is over you can easily store them in a closet until next time.
Now that everyone has a drink and is seated around the table, it’s time to bring out the food! Load it up on beautiful serving platters and include some hand-carved serving utensils as well.
A do-it-yourself taco bar or a big batch of enchiladas are easy options when serving a crowd. Add some cotija (Mexican street corn) and some beans and rice for sides. For an easy, make-ahead dessert, try a tres leches cake.
With a party like this, you will be the talk of your friends for weeks! Just don’t be surprised if they ask you to host all the parties in the future!
