subject: Party Time With Mexican Sombreros [print this page] Invite your friends and family members to your next Mexican themed party, tell them there will be Mexican sombreros and youll have a great time! These hats are familiar to just about everyone, and they come in so many different styles, sizes and colors that you and your guests will love comparing them. It is a lot of fun when these festive hats are worn for all kinds of gatherings, and they also command attention when they are worn on an off day for no reason at all. Mexican sombreros are just one of those things that seem to light up a room and cheer anyone up who is feeling blue.
If you are planning one of these fiestas, make sure that people know to dress for the occasion. The costumes do not have to be completely authentic, expensive or decked out. A bright shawl thrown over one shoulder and some sandals will do the trick, with white blouses and ankle length skirts for the girls, for example. If your party will be held on a week day, the girls can wear rebozos and on Sunday, mantillas. Rebozos are brightly colored scarves worn over the head, and the mantilla is a lace scarf. Of course, if you dont want to wear scarves, go for the Mexican sombreros!
If you are throwing a party for children, you can play a couple of games to liven things up a bit.
Sardines is a fun indoor hide and seek game. One child is IT and hides in a place, and the others start hunting for him. As soon as someone finds IT they hide along with him. As more children find the ITs, the hunt goes on until they are all crammed in a space, leaving one left who hasnt found the others. This child will be IT next. The children have a hard time not giggling as they are squished like sardines in their hiding place. To make it really goofy, have the children wear their Mexican sombreros as they try to hide.
One more fun game is called Pottery. The children sit on the floor with their Mexican sombreros and a small handful of clay, and they make a vase or bowl or anything else they want to make. They then tell about their creations to everyone else when they are finished, and prizes can be awarded if you want too. Adding sombreros to games and parties makes everything seem more authentic, more challenging, and more fun, so be sure your next themed party includes Mexican sombreros for the best time possible.
