Bank Holiday Sunshine & Cinco de Mayo Party

We had a wonderful Cinco de Mayo party thanks to the colourful and super easy to make party kit from Happythought 

I love making things with my daughter, we were up late in the studio getting ready for the party, and she made the whole thing fun.  And what wonderful bank holiday weather for a change!

Cinco de Mayo Party Kit from 'Happythought'

Happythought's Cinco de Mayo Party Kit

You know me, any excuse for a party.  So as the weather is finally showing us some mercy I am going to have an impromptu Cinco de Mayo Bar-B-Q on Sunday and Happy Thoughts Papercraft - I love this company! - are the place to go for my partywares.

Happythought's Cinco de Mayo Party Kit

Above are some of Happythought's printable projects for Cinco de Mayo.  In case you didn't know Cinco de Mayo is the celebration marking the defeat of the French Army by Mexican soldiers at the battle of Puebla in 1872.  I used to live in California and Cinco de Mayo was a fab celebration with piñatas, beer, Mexican wrestling, amazing food and foul tasting Mexican candies.  

Happythought's Cinco de Mayo party kit is an instant download containing party invites, cupcake wrappers and toppers, popcorn boxes, play figures and ornaments, a loteria game, garlands, party signs and lots more.   It's listed here and costs $5USD, which is only about £3.20. 

The kit also includes tutorials and templates for mini piñatas.

On the Happythought site there is more information about Cinco de Mayo, free printables (the Lucha Libre masks above are free to download), craft and video tutorials.

I bought Happythought's peacocks as a craft for Little Una Fox's birthday party and I can vouch for how easy the printables were to create.  Ellen & Harry at Happythoughts design beautifully clean and simple craft, party and decorative items that you can download and print yourself.  They also create beautiful silhouette prints of your children at a very reasonable price.  And I am only a little jealous that they are raising their children in the sunshine of Chile.  Go take a look at their site for more.
