Fiesta time! That means bright colors, flowers and spirit. Hang up papel picado bunting and make tissue poms, both of which are a very popular traditional Mexican celebration crafts. You can use sombreros as decor too. Ladies can wear rebozos and flowers in their hair. Hire a mariachi and folk dancers. Re-use Mexican food tins as vases.
Food, I think is obvious...serve typical platillos Mexicanos. For party favors you can give out colorful Mexican candies and pan dulce or even little Mexican pottery jugs or candle holders like in Talavera style. You could have a taquiza or birria. This theme can be a very frugal one because with a lot of these things you get more for your buck.
Also getting a lot of candies from confectioneries, like casa Adelita or simply going to a municipal market and searching for traditional milk and caramel candies!
