Cinco de Mayo Ideas

The other day a friend of mine asked if I had any ideas for her Cinco de Mayo party. After the usual suggestions of tequila, mojitos, salsa, chips, a pinata, sombreros, I said,

"Oh! You can put barbed wire around your yard and make your guests sneak into the party!"

In fact, they can be considered temporary partygoers, because they will be expected to return to their homes when their period of partying has expired. Undocumented partiers will be expected to pay a one-time fee to register for the partygoer program. Everyone should be required to wear a badge with thier name. This is merely in hopes that someone will say, "Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!" Once this phrase is uttered, you can abandon the badge-giving charade. Of course there will be those who don't register and still get past, but that is fine as you will most likely be able to find them working in the kitchen. In fact, a few may be of use to help you clean up after the party.

And the guests should all be dressed up like Zorro.
