Centerpieces and other table decorations:
Small cacti in terra cotta pots (tie a raffia bow around pot for some color)
Chili peppers scattered around table (in the same manner that confetti or rose petals are scattered)
Tissue Chili Pepper
Colorful candles
Jointed cactus or large live cacti plants
Serapes across the tablecloths
Bandana in center of each table with centerpiece on top or use for placemats or cloth napkins
For a cute and easy napkin ring, tie a raffia bow around each napkin and add several small chilis
Pinatas make great centerpieces.
Music and Entertainment:
Country Band - Mexican Dancers
Mariachi band - Gourd Maracas
Favors/Keepsakes:
For the guests, if outdoors, hand-held fans (imprinted with company or bride & groom's names)
Colorful candles in tins or pots
In addition try:
Piñatas in the shape of a wedding cake or hot chili pepper. Piñatas are a good activity to keep the kids busy or just for fun.
