Are you ready to turn up the heat and host a Dia de los Muertos celebration that's cheesier than a queso dip? Well, amigo, you're in the right place. Follow these five sizzling steps, and you'll have a party that'll make the spirits come back!
🌼 Step 1: Set the Stage with Marigold Magic. 🌼
The first step to creating a memorable Dia de los Muertos fiesta is to bring the vibrant marigold flowers into the spotlight. Line your entryway with these dazzling blossoms to create a warm and welcoming path for both the living and the spirits. The marigolds aren't just for show; they're like a GPS for our departed friends, leading them straight to the heart of the party!
🎉 Step 2: Create an Ofrenda to Honor Loved Ones. 🎉
Now, it's time to make an ofrenda that's so beautiful it could make a sugar skull cry. Gather up photographs of your dearly departed, their favourite foods and drinks, and any cherished mementoes. Arrange them on an altar, add a few candles, and watch as the magic unfolds. This is where the spirits of your loved ones will feel right at home, savouring the flavours and soaking up the love.
🍽️ Step 3: Prepare a Feast Fit for the Afterlife and dress to impress. 🍽️
No party is complete without some mouthwatering eats, and Dia de los Muertos is no exception. Whip up a feast of tacos, nachos, or quesadillas, or order in from your favourite Mexican restaurant and don’t forget to whip up a Margarita jug or 2. To impress all your guests why not paint your face like a sugar skull, here is a tutorial on how to do it like a professional! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDqJL3iXIUo
