Planning a fiesta wedding shower
The prep, the menu and the budget.
A fiesta wedding shower is a colorful, Mexican inspired bridal shower with a taco bar, chips and salsa, margaritas, papel picado and bright flowers. It is easy to prep ahead because the menu is served buffet style, and the budget of about $340 for eighteen guests is a Revelwick estimate.
Prep ahead
Set up the room and make desserts the day before, then set out the buffet just before the party. Send thanks cards to the aunt, sister or friends organizing and hosting it.
