Mexican Theme Weddings
Couples who are of Mexican descent may consider having a Mexican
theme wedding. Theme weddings are becoming popular. These weddings
have a unique feeling and award couples an alternative to a
traditional wedding ceremony.
Different cultures have different ways of celebrating a marriage.
These differences can be seen in the wedding attire, location, food,
music, and decorations. The best thing about cultural theme weddings
is that anyone can have one.

A couple does not necessarily have to be Mexican to have a wedding
with excitement and spice. Mexican theme weddings can be a perfect
way to say, “I do,” regardless of background.
Invitations for a Mexican theme wedding should have vibrant colors.
Colors that are representative of Mexico are orange, magenta, and
turquoise. The outside of invitations could include colorful
streamers, a sombrero, or any other picture that is indicative of a
Mexican theme wedding.
Couples can get creative with the way they word the invitation.
Senor and Senorita could be in place of Mr. and Miss, and reception
could be substituted with fiesta. Invitations should also state
whether the nuptials will be held indoors or outdoors. Mexican style
weddings predominately take place outdoors. Guest attire is
typically less formal than traditional wedding ceremonies.
Location is important when planning a Mexican theme wedding. The
goal is to make guests feel as if they are attending a real Mexican
fiesta. Great places to hold a Mexican style wedding include a
Spanish-style church or a southwestern restaurant.
Mexican weddings are traditionally held at the home of the bride’s
parents. This could be a perfect pick if the home is large enough.
If the home is not large enough to accommodate guests, consider
moving the nuptials outdoors. Sombreros and Spanish fans can be
given to guests to shield them from the heat. Piñatas can be hung to
entertain little ones.
Mexican food is an obvious choice for a Mexican theme wedding. When
selecting a caterer for the event, the couple should decide on a
caterer who has experience preparing Mexican foods. There are many
dishes to choose from. Popular Mexican meals include tacos,
enchiladas, burritos, fajitas, and refried beans.
The couple may want to incorporate a few American dishes to
accommodate those who do not like Mexican food. Foods such as
guavas, avocados, and chips with salsa are perfect appetizers. The
couple may want to serve traditional Mexican beer and soda as
beverages.
Mexican theme weddings are not complete without Mexican music.
Understandably, most couples who have a Mexican style wedding are
American and may prefer having popular music played during the
reception. To solve this problem, Mexican music can be played while
guests are eating and socializing. Popular music can be played when
the dance floor opens.
Favors for guests should have a Mexican touch. Sample hot sauce, jar
peppers, and Mexican souvenirs make great parting gifts. A Mexican
theme wedding is perfect for Hispanic couples who want to embrace the customs
of their culture. Incorporating popular Mexican wedding customs with
traditional American customs is a perfect way to join two people of
different backgrounds.
