Earlier this month we had Brian and his bride, Jenni over for Brian's birthday, which happens to fall on Cinco de Mayo. So of course, we HAD to do a Mexican theme!! I had meant to host it outside but the weather didn't cooperate so into the formal dining room we went. I really wanted to do something casual, inexpensive, and festive so I checked out the local Dollar Tree and for 6 bucks I had my setting!! :-)
Ta-Da! Plastic tablecloth~$1..paper plates~$1...paper napkins~$1...3 bunches of 'flowers'~$3.Grand total...$6.00!!
I used white plastic plates as 'chargers'. Already had the orange fiesta ware pitcher to hold the flowers..made a runner of sorts with the extra napkins. Tied ribbon around red candles and inverted two wine glasses to hold the candles.
The blue handled flatware I bought years ago at Big Lots (when it was called Pic and Save)...
So there you go...a tablescape that was fun, festive and cheap! Like me! ;-DOle`!
