Happy Cinco De Mayo to us!!! AUTHENTIC CUSINE ~STRAIGHT FROM THE BORDER! Courtesy of Jennise & Kristin.
From our singing save the date to the cute invite cleverly scribed in Spanish--- to our festive take home goodie basket.... Kristin & Jennise put on a fabulous Mexian Fiesta tonight ~complete with our hostesses dressed in culture for the occasion!
Upon arrival we were greeted with paper luminaries & the mouth watering aroma from the Mexican cooking. Inside it was like stepping right in to Mehico ;)
Our fabulous hostesses had such fun and authentic decor! We were surprised to hear that much of the food and decorations had come from straight from Mexico... now that is spoiling your guests!
Our menu was cleverly written on a marker board & our cute floarl designed napkin rings doubled as a ring suitable to wear for the evening! (I should not be a hand model-- but the rings were so fun.) A maraca held our place-cards & a very festive fruit kabob display added so much fun to the bright tablescape - (the kabobs held in place by head of lettuce halves.... clever!) The food was absolutely delish. I am pretty certain I had my share of the fresh mango salsa... as well as the shares of everyone else sitting on my end of the table. *GULP* YUMM-E SALSA! :)The detail of the evening was so wonderful... especially for making last minute changes to the dining venue due to the inclimate weather... (a WISE choice indeed after the down pour we had last night!)
I confess, the lack of pictures might be due to the fact that I was too busy eating, drinking and being merry. But thank goodness others were diligent in their picture taking, we'll have more to post soon!
I might be able to skip my ab workout on evenings we have our Bon Vivant dinners as there is always some serious gut busting laughter going on!
Rachel's Anniversary was the same evening-- and she was given a beautiful "blue gem" ring in memory of the occasion... (You gals are so clever! That was very cute!)
