Cinco De Mayo Potluck Party

Kick off May with an international celebration hosted (in part) by Gift Hero.

Whether you’re flying the Mexican flag high or just looking for an excuse to throw a party, Cinco de Mayo presents endless potluck possibilities. And whether you’re hosting or participating, a Gift Hero wish list will help you keep all your chips and salsa in a row.

Keep things colorful with a set of bowls for your buffet table, fun olive dish to greet your guests, and snack bowls to scatter around.

Why should your guests have all the fun?

Cinco de Mayo may not typically be associated with wine, but wine charms, animal drink stirrers, and a Corksicle will keep the non-margarita-drinkers at your party happy.

Even your drinks will be entertained.

If you’re lucky enough to be able to celebrate outside, bubbles are always a hit with the kids, and a tabletop food cover will keep all the pests at bay.

Invite kids — but not bugs — to your outdoor celebration.

Impress your guests with homemade ice cream — or take it a step further and make crowd-pleasing ice cream sandwiches.

Homemade ice cream sandwiches with homemade ice cream will be the hit of any potluck.

Keep your entertainment global with a game of flags dominos and teas from the around the world to wind down the celebration.

Wind down the international way.

Make your party one to remember by sending your guests home with personalized beer coozies and snaps from your photo booth, but not before displaying them on a lighted strand. If that doesn’t do the trick, let your dog be the life of the party in a poncho-and-sombrero costume.

It’s hard to say what will be the most memorable part of your party.
