I have a hostess who wants to do a Mexican fiesta. There won't be any alcohol, so I can't use the margarita invites...does anyone have a Mexican Fiesta invitation?
 
I hope this is helpful. You can put 4 invites on cardstock and send as a postcard. :)

Please helpI saved the flyer to my computer, but how do I get the postcard on a page by itself? I tried copying and pasting, but that just won't work. :confused: I feel kinda slow...what do I do?
 
I'm not sure I understand why people use "special" invites rather than those available through P.Chef. Do you get more attendance using customized invitations? :confused:
 
To get the postcard on a page by itself, click on the edge of the invite to get little white boxes (they should be around the entire document, not just the invite) Then right click on any one of the boxes; go to Grouping - select Ungroup. Then you can click on the edge of the invite again and you should have white boxes around the invite only. Then you can copy-paste the invite to a separate page. Let me know if you still have trouble.
 
I was just thinking, do they have specific invitations for the new ole fast and festive celebration show? If so that could work for a mexican fiesta theme although I guess you would need to make one of those 3 recipes.

The theme invitation cards from PC are perfect for any theme show. Just add a sticker and say "Come to our Mexican Fiesta" or "Indulge - Chocolate" or "Mardi Gras! - think Cajun".

The card is saying "we have lots of themes you can choose from". Your sticker tells them the theme of THIS show. You can use this for a regular show or not put a sticker on at all. If they are curious about a possible theme they will ask or come to find out...

I also have used the celebration theme invitations at regular or theme shows to bring up the idea of theme shows. "Did you notice the special shows that were mentioned on your invitation? Well, we can do one of them at YOUR show."
 
Mexican Theme InvitationsDoes anyone have the Margarita invitations, my hostess wants a mexican theme and she will be having drinks. Thanks :D
 
Here are the invites that I have. There are 4 to a page and work well when printed on card stock. Hope this is helpful.

I Need SuggestionsI have a show in a few weeks and the hosts want a Mexican Fiesta theme. I am going to make Chicken Enchilada Ring and Easy Apple Burritos. The hosts are planning to serve Margaritas, and added to the invitation cards that it is a Mexican Fiesta theme. Is there anything else I can do to carry out the theme? I don't want the theme to draw attention away from the products, but was wondering if anyone has any suggestions to go with it. :confused:

Thanks for all your help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some creative invitation ideas for a Mexican-themed fiesta without alcohol?

Consider using vibrant colors and traditional Mexican motifs like papel picado or sombreros in your invitations. You can create digital invitations featuring images of tacos, maracas, or cacti. Another idea is to send out handmade invitations using craft paper and decorative elements like ribbons or stickers that reflect the fiesta theme.

How can I incorporate Mexican cuisine into my fiesta invitations?

You can include a fun twist by designing your invitations to resemble a menu, listing popular Mexican dishes like enchiladas, guacamole, and churros. Additionally, you could add a note inviting guests to bring their favorite Mexican dish to share, making it a potluck-style fiesta.

What should I include in the details of my fiesta invitation?

Make sure to include the date, time, and location of the fiesta. Additionally, specify if it's a potluck and encourage guests to bring a dish. You might also want to mention any fun activities planned, such as games or a piñata, to get everyone excited about the event!

How can I make my fiesta invitation more interactive?

Consider adding a QR code that links to a playlist of Mexican music or a recipe for a popular Mexican dish. You could also include a small challenge, like asking guests to come dressed in traditional Mexican attire or to bring a fun fact about Mexican culture to share during the fiesta.

What are some budget-friendly options for creating fiesta invitations?

You can create digital invitations using free online design tools, which allow you to customize templates with your fiesta theme. If you prefer physical invitations, consider printing them at home on colorful cardstock. You can also use recycled materials, like old magazines, to create unique and eco-friendly invitations.
