Mexican food for baby shower
Mexican Baby Showers in 2022
Are you looking for traditional Mexican baby shower ideas? Maybe you want to pass on traditions your family loves, or perhaps you want to celebrate your culture by embracing how baby showers in Mexico are thrown. Either way, if you want party ideas for decorations, games, and more, you’ve come to the right place. WebBabyShower has many resources for those looking to plan a baby shower. We’re experts at virtual party experiences, and we’re here to talk about everything that makes Mexican baby showers great.
Mexican Baby Shower Traditions
A Mexican baby shower focuses on a few main things: food, family, and great music. If these three elements are present, it’s a guaranteed good time. Similar to Indian culture and baby showers, Mexican culture is highly family-oriented, and you can expect anyone and everyone to attend the party. Guests may include grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, siblings, and friends. You’re also likely to encounter the very best traditional foods like tacos, rice, beans, and other homemade dishes. And lastly, a party isn’t a party without music. It sets the mood, and guests will love it.
Music
You can find traditional songs from Mexico or new favorites by Mexican artists and create a playlist for the party. You might even have some guests spontaneously decide to dance! This makes for a great party vibe and helps to liven things up quickly. You can choose to play music at the beginning of the shower while everyone is arriving, or you might have it going in the background for the entire event.

By far, one of the best parts of any Mexican party is the food. You may have some family members who enjoy cooking and are willing to use their old family recipes for this special day. Why not enjoy these familiar comforts?
Some of the staple foods you’ll typically see at a Mexican party are tacos, rice, beans, tortillas, and everything homemade. Another favorite treat is Mexican street corn. If you want to wow your guests, ask their opinions.
Figure out what they’d like to eat at the baby shower and use their answers to create a menu.
A buffet or family-style meal works well for this type of event. If lots of people are attending, you can set up the food on long tables, and guests can go through a line to fill up food plates.
For the drink selection, try filling up coolers with several different options and labeling them accordingly. Guests can have their pick of tamarindo, horchata, or agua de piña.

Most Popular Mexican Baby Shower Themes
Bold and Bright
Mexican parties are usually colorful, and baby showers are no exception! Celebrate the new little one with bright yellow, orange, blue, green, pink, and red decorations like tablecloths, blankets, and large flowers, accenting the space.
If you want a focal point, balloons spelling “baby” or the little one’s name work well, so long as the mother-to-be is okay with sharing the name before the birth.
Image from: Monical L.Adorable Llamas
It’s easy to find cute llama decorations and stuffed animals for a party, and you can even add a llama piñata if you want to go all out for the celebration. To elevate the shower’s look further, you can also use succulents like cacti and decorate with pastels like muted greens and pinks.

Taco Bar
Tacos are a great addition to a baby shower. They’re easy to make and authentic to Mexico. If you want to stay very traditional, ask family members to cook. You can create a table with tacos, meat, and toppings. You could also hire a taco-making service for the day, and they’ll set up outside and make tacos for guests.
Balloons spelling out “taco ’bout a party” liven things up.

Green guacamole, red salsas, and bright yellow cheeses all look pretty on a food table.
Colorful foods are a perfect addition to a Mexican baby shower. You can place bright-colored decorations on the food table to complement the dishes. Tiered serving trays can give you more space for the food if there isn’t enough room on the table.
This adorable fiesta-themed baby shower idea using pink balloons and green cactus decor is perfect. If the parents-to-be choose, you can also try a fiesta-style gender reveal party. Another party idea is to add sombreros to the decor to keep the fiesta theme going.
Want to go more subtle? This adorable fiesta-themed baby shower idea using pink balloons and green cactus decor is perfect.
Image from: tuacasa.comBohemian
If you’re looking for a traditional but more relaxed look, you can opt for a bohemian-themed baby shower with light green and pink decor. A wood background is rustic and pretty at the same time and gives a neutral backdrop to complement the decorations. You can also add cacti and other plants to the table to set the scene.
This theme works even better if the party is outdoors.
Mexican Baby Shower Ideas
Themed Gift Bags
Everyone loves presents and they’re a great party idea. Try adorably decorated gift bags with themed treats and presents inside. You can create some inexpensive ones using paper bags and colorful tissue paper to make a design. Various colored tissue papers in a striped pattern make a classic look. Don’t forget to add “gracias” to let your guests know you appreciate their presence on this special day.
Image from: rosrabbitholeColorful Cake Pops
Cake pops are a fun treat with no clean-up time, making them a great dessert for baby showers. Try cactus cake pops! You can use green frosting dotted with white and topped off with pretty pink and white flowers. Cake pops work well for any party, so you can decorate them to match the party idea you come up with. The best part about these is they’re great for a large party.

comBaby Shower Cookies
Cookies at a baby shower are traditional, but what about bright-colored ones in the shapes of sombreros and piñatas? That’s a unique twist on an old classic. Also, try decorating some shaped like bottles and strollers to make them baby shower-friendly. You might even try some Mexican cookie recipes for guests to enjoy.
Image from: hayleycakesandcookies.comCactus Watermelon
Carving a watermelon to look like a cactus is a fun idea for a baby shower. Fill it with fruit, and it makes the perfect centerpiece for a Mexican baby shower table. Plus, it makes for a healthy dessert. Sprinkle the table with fake flowers in beautiful colors to add flair.

Define your theme with cute Mexican baby shower invitations. Find some with a black background and beautiful bright-colored banners that are perfect for a celebration.
Image from: zazzle.comBring a Book Idea
Want to receive a present from your guests that your child will cherish for years to come? Here’s a great party idea: Ask each attendee to bring a favorite children’s book that they sign as a gift for the new baby.
Your family will think of your guests when you read it together!
Mini Piñatas
Although regular piñatas are traditional for children’s birthdays, why not work them into the decor at this event? Miniature piñatas can be placed on tables to add an adorable detail.
Image from: topsmalibu.comMexican Baby Shower Decorations
Cactus Details
Cactus decorations are very popular right now, and they’re perfect for a Mexican baby shower. You can find wall art or possibly even some actual cacti to place around the space and reflect the theme. A burlap wall banner with cactus shapes is a great way to add some style to the party.
Image from: fazendoanossafesta.comFringed Backdrops
Want a great spot for pictures and the cake? Fringed backdrops that pop with all the colors of the rainbow are the way to go. It’s traditional, it’s fun, and it really sets a party mood. If you’re planning an outdoor celebration, you might try an archway with a backdrop surrounded by paper flowers or piñatas.
If your celebration is indoors, this can work just as well using a wall to set up the backdrop.
Colorful Fans
Brightly colored paper fans are perfect for hanging from the ceiling or on a wall. They create a unique look that will perfectly coordinate with your baby shower party idea since they come in so many colors.
Image from: momoparty.comMake a Statement with Balloons
Speaking of backdrops, balloons are an easy, inexpensive way to create a focal point for the party decor. Find them in bright colors and arrange them across a whole wall or archway for a fun look.
Image from: inspiredbythis.comDon’t Forget About Lighting and Tablecloths
A good party always has great lighting. Try placing small mini lights inside bottles or jars and lining them across tables. You can add a cute tiny sombrero to the bottle for some added fun. To make the table stand out, cover it with a traditional Mexican blanket — colorful, striped, and cheerful.
String Up Tassels
Tassels are one of the most popular party ideas across the board, but they work especially well for a Mexican baby shower. There are so many color choices, so pick whichever matches your theme best. Hang them up on walls, tables, and doorways for a fun vibe that keeps things coordinated. You might try one to start with or use several that match to decorate the whole space.
Image from: etsy.comMexican Baby Shower Games
As with any baby shower, Mexican themed baby shower games are an essential part of the event.
La Loteria
This game is similar to bingo. Players are given a board with images on it. Cards are then drawn from a deck. When a card that’s drawn matches a picture on your board, you must mark it. If you get a certain number in a row, you’re the winner. This is a traditional Mexican game that is especially fun for a baby shower.
Baby Name Game
At Mexican baby showers, sometimes the baby’s name is written down on a nametag and given to the guests.
Everyone wears the baby’s name during the shower. It’s a fun way to get the guests talking and having fun when the party just gets started.
Diaper Raffle
Every attendee must bring a pack of diapers to enter a drawing. Once everyone arrives, the host can draw the winner’s name, and they get a prize! This is especially helpful for new mothers because they get tons of diapers for the baby.
Image from: zazzle.comLook Under Your Chair
When setting up the chairs, write the word “baby” on paper, and tape it underneath one or two chairs. When guests arrive and sit down, have them look underneath their chairs. Those who find the word “baby” win a prize.
A Baby Shower-Themed Price Is Right
Get a printable with baby items on it like “pacifier” and “diapers.” The guests must guess how much each item is worth. Whoever gets the most right wins a prize!
Image from: printmybabyshower.comAdvice Cards and Notes
Set up a table with pretty notecards, pens, and a jar.
Have guests write down advice for the new mother or sweet notes for the new baby. They can drop their papers into the jar. The new mama can go through them later and read all the sweet words of encouragement.
Fiesta Scratch Card Game
Each guest is given a scratch card. They may then scratch the card to see if they won something. This is a fun and easy game that anyone can play. You might try giving out mini-prizes for this game, such as candy or a $5 gift card.
Baby Shower Name Race
Set a timer for a few minutes. Guests must write down a baby name for each letter in the alphabet. Baby shower name race is a great way to break the ice at any party.
Who’s That Baby?
All guests bring a photo of themselves as an infant. The pictures are then shuffled together, and people must guess which baby is which guest.
How Many Candies Are in the Jar?
This is an easy party idea, and you can play it virtually or in person. Guests look at a jar full of candies (something easy to count like Jolly Ranchers or Hershey Kisses).
Then they write down the number they think is in the jar, and whoever is the closest wins.
Name the Baby Tune
Pick out some baby songs ahead of time and then play them for the guests. Whoever guesses each tune first gets the point. The winner is whichever player gains the most points.
Baby Food Contest
You’ll need bibs, spoons, and jars of baby food for this one. This is only for the bravest guests! Gather some volunteers and split them into teams of two. Then have one partner feed the other a jar of baby food. Whoever completes their task first wins a prize!
Baby Shower Blind Fold Game
A baby shower twist on the old game pin the tail on the donkey; the object of this game is to pin the pacifier on the baby. To begin, tape a cartoon cutout of a baby’s head to a wall. Then choose a few volunteers. Blindfold them, and give them a paper cutout of a pacifier. From there, the guests try to pin the pacifier on the baby. Whoever gets the closest wins!
Baby Around the World
Give out printables to guests that say the word “baby” in various languages.
Attendees must then try to determine which language the word is in. The person with the most accurate results wins the game.
Virtual Games
WebBabyShower’s website offers many game options, and a lot of them can be played online if you have a virtual shower. Using our ideas, planning a shower online doesn’t have to be stressful. Check out our website game page for ideas like baby word scramble, baby trivia, online dominos, and more.
Stay Close to Your Family
Mexican culture is extremely family-oriented, and getting together is one of the main ways to keep a family close. Baby showers are a perfect way to celebrate a new addition to the family, have some fun, and make new memories.
You might choose to keep your baby shower small, inviting only close family and friends. But WebBabyShower also offers you the opportunity to throw a huge party, inviting all your relatives, co-workers, and acquaintances if you choose.
You might even choose to honor certain family members, like mothers and aunts, or anyone who’s been influential in the life of the mother-to-be.
You can gift them with presents or show them your appreciation by seating them near the guest of honor.
When a family gets together, they build strong bonds for the future, give advice, and help one another to grow. This is especially important when welcoming a new baby into the family.

- 13 kinds of oregano

- Cilantro, coriander greens nine0007 Thyme aka Tomillo
Spices give Mexican cuisine its characteristic flavor and aroma.
Traditional tacos, burritos, spicy soups and sauces will lose their flavor if you remove seasonings and spices from them. Mexico is considered the father of additives such as allspice, capsicum vanilla, cloves and cinnamon. However, saffron and coriander, traditional for the East, are valued no less here.
View and choose ready-made options nine0034
Mexican hot spices
Mexican cuisine tends to be spicy and expressive. Locals claim that non-roasted dishes can be anything but Mexican. So the main task that spices solve is to add piquant and spicy notes to products.
The main ingredients that are ideal for this purpose are chili, jalapeno peppers, onion and garlic, paprika. Whatever dish you try, you can be sure that these spices are definitely in the composition. The only exception is for desserts.
Although they are often experimented with in Mexico. And now let's do a little review of additives. nine0003
Salsa additive, cumin
Cumin is one of the Mexican spices that is added to salsa. The seeds are used in sauces, snacks, and even in corn tortillas. Cumin goes well with chili powder. It balances the pungency of the pepper and adds a unique flavor and astringency to meat soups and stews.
Source of positive color, saffron
Saffron, like other herbs and spices, is added to dishes in limited quantities. Moreover, the product is valued not for its taste, a little bitter and not too expressive, but for its shade. Saffron gives rice, white meat and seafood a nice golden color. nine0003
Mexican tea, epazote
Epazote is a rare spice used to add flavor to bean dishes.
Mexican tea is known to eliminate the problem of gas formation, which is relevant after eating legumes.
13 types of oregano
Oregano becomes a decoration of many Mexican dishes. The upper parts of oregano inflorescences are used to make this spice. In total, more than 13 varieties of this plant are known in the country. For the preparation of sauces and main dishes with tomatoes, both dried and fresh oregano shoots are used. Oregano pairs equally well with celery, tarragon, and fennel. nine0003
Chili Powder
Chili Powder is a spicy blend of cayenne pepper, garlic and oregano. In some cases, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and cilantro are included in the recipe. Chili is the main ingredient in Mexican cuisine. It is added to meat dishes, sauces, vegetable soups, marinades and salads. In addition, chili powder is one of the ingredients of the dish of the same name with beans and tomatoes.
Smoked Pepper Chipotle
Chipotle is a spicy condiment made from smoked jalapeno peppers. To prepare this spice, hot peppers are smoked on wood smoke for several days; during the heat treatment, they lose about 9/10 of their mass. In chipotle, the hotness of the jalapeno takes on a smoky flavor. The spicy seasoning is added to mole and salsa, soups, stews and vegetables.
Cilantro, green coriander
Cilantro - green coriander leaves. The fresh and fragrant herb is used to garnish salads, corn tortillas, and soups. The leaves have a spicy flavor and are good for salsa, refried beans, rice, and stews. nine0003
Thyme, also known as Tomillo
Thyme helps to open up the taste of meat and fish and gives freshness to vegetable salads.
This seasoning with a spicy aroma and bitter taste is used in dried and fresh form. Often a mixture of thyme and rosemary is used as an additive for marinades and sauces.
In addition to these spices in Mexican cuisine, you can find other, no less colorful. These are cayenne pepper, chamomile, mint, sage, ginger, paprika, sesame, basil and anise. nine0003
