Feliz Navidad Holiday Fiesta

Sick of the same old same old for your office holiday party? Then spice things up! Feliz Navidad! It’s Christmas time all over the world but few places have celebrations that are as warm and colorful as Mexico. Combine fiesta traditions with your office holiday party, and all your employees and guests will be shouting Ole!

 

The excitement for your party will begin as soon as the invitations arrive. Imagine your guest's delight as they read a personalized Fiesta invitation!

 

Or maracas with the party information printed on a card and attached with a red or green ribbon will get your guests in the mood to cha-cha the night away. You can hand deliver these to everyone's office or mail them in a small box. 

 

No matter what invitation you choose, be sure to throw some snow confetti in the envelope.

 

The fun begins as your guests are greeted by a fiesta banner wishing everyone Feliz Navidad. If you're having a band or a DJ, make sure they are ready with an assortment of Latin songs. Alternate the music with traditional holiday tunes and everyone will be be ready to celebrate the season. Better yet, have a Mariachi band strolling through your cocktail hour and entry welcoming guests.

 

Mix Christmas and Fiesta displays throughout the party. Here are some simple optoins:

• Add inflatable cacti throughout the party mixed with traditional Christmas trees.  Just spice up your Christmas trees with red lights and beads!
• If it's in your budget, rent real Cacti from a local plant store and bring in real Christmas trees.

Be sure to welcome your guests with a lifesize cutout of the boss dressed as a mariachi man (or woman) or as Santa!

 

Whether you’re having one buffet table or several food stations, make sure your tables look as good as the food you’re serving. Cover the tables with red tablecloths and use green and white paper products.  Centerpieces can be bunches of red, green and white balloons with mylar fiesta balloons mixed in or a bull piñata. (Yes! they make a great centerpiece too!)

 

Want a spicier look for your table?

• Use black tablecloths set with fiesta tableware.
• Use red bandanas for napkins tied up with seasonally appropriate red beads.
• You can even add a santa hat on top of your sombrero!
• A Mexican poncho also makes a great tablecover.

No matter what you’re serving, appetizers or a full dinner, spicy food is the way to go. Chilis, tamales, nachos – make it as simple or elaborate as you like.

• Be sure to serve all your drinks in glow margarita glasses.
• Beer with personalized labels would of course be a huge hit at the party.
• The crowd will be delighted with flashing ice cubes or glowing straws in their drinks.

In addition to margaritas or holiday punch, offer your guests Sidra, a Mexican sparkling cider, for some traditional fun. You can also serve eggnog in a margarita glass. Yum!

 

You have great decorations, delicious food now bring on the entertainment! With a live mariachi band, DJ or fiesta party music CD, your employees and guests will want to salsa, mambo or cha-cha all night. Pass out maracas and everyone can play along. Someone doesn’t love to dance? No problem! A fiesta limbo game will have everyone bending over backwards to get involved.

 

Choose a sweet favor that lets your employees know how much you appreciate them. Have a personalized Feliz Navidad candy bar at each place or have them ready to be passed out at the end of the night.

 

Be sure to have an assortment of maracas and sombreros on hand for everyone to wear during the evening.  Make sure to get pictures of everyone dressed for the holidays, and put photos of the best shots in staff mailboxes the following week!
