I'm super excited to share these photos with you! I loved designing this fiesta-themed party for my hubs. We had such a great time!
For the invitation, I printed out the lettering and then drew the "papel picado" design around the words. I went over everything with a carbon pen, burned a screen with my Gocco machine, and made prints.
I used air plants, bougainvillea blooms, beautiful cacti, mangos, and limes as centerpieces.
The "25" papel picado (Mexican banner) took about two months to complete. I drew out the design like the invitation. Then I cut it out with an X-acto over heavy cardstock to make a template. I then folded each color of tissue paper to make 8 layers and cut each color separately. I had calluses on my fingers from the knife.
We had our favorite local Mexican food van, Taco Xpress (we call it Magic Taco), cater.
Photo booth!

The banner is absolutely inspired, and tremendously impressive. It looks absolutely flawless! I was sure you had some sort of laser-cutting implement at your disposal.
