One Hot Tamale Girls Night

Well, on Friday I told you about my

Girl's Night In Party I had planned!

The party went great and the girls had so much fun

editing their pictures on Picnik!

Picnik is an online photo editing company

that asked me to host a House Party for them!

I gladly accepted!

If you haven't tried it..head over there and check it out!

You can host your own party too!

If you are interested contact me and I will

pass on the information!

The party theme was One Hot Tamale!

With Cinco de Mayo around the corner I thought

this was a perfect theme to tie in.

I opted for a more modern background for my theme

and chose Red, White, and Black as my colors.

The labels were custom made for me by

Parties By Hardie!

She was great to work with and helped me out on short notice!

I used the labels everywhere!

They were great!

I hole punched the edges of the plates and added a tag

attached by a red brad for an little extra touch.

I used metal containers to hold my red and white paper flowers.

Thanks again to Susan at Poca Cosas for the paper flower idea!

And for the napkins, I tied them up with red raffia

and attached a red pepper label.

The desserts table was a big hit!

Chocolate Cake Balls

Strawberry Cheesecake served in Mini Martini Glasses

Key Lime Mousse Cups

Lemon Poundcake with Lemon Mousse and Raspberries

Kahlua soaked Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Mousse

Lemon Cookies

The Favors were boxes of Hot Tamales!

I just covered them in scrapbook paper

and added the label!

I served Sangria and Margaritas for the cocktails!

These made great swirls mixed together!

Yummy!

And of course, I used the labels to make

drink tags for the glasses.

By the way, I got the glasses at Dollar Tree!

WOO...WHOOO...

For the appetizers we had

Grilled Chicken and Beef Skewers

Chips and Queso

7 Layer Dips served in individual wine glasses

Mini Beef Taco bowls

For some reason I didn't get any pictures of the food!

And I wish I had better pictures of the dessert table.

I will do better next time!

Hope you can use some inspiration for your

Cinco de Mayo celebrations this week!
Check out Parties by Hardie

for some printables!

These were custom made but,

I bet you could purchase them too!

Oh...and all the pictures you see..

you guessed it!

I used Picnik to edit them, add text, add borders,

and make the collages!
