Taco Tuesday

Since many of our native Southern California friends are fans of the Taco Tuesday tradition, we thought it would be fun to bring it to our very own apartment. Hosting your own Taco Tuesday party is a great to get friends together and to enjoy yourself on a budget. In total we spent under $100 for everything, including food, drinks, and decorations for 10 people. We wanted to incorporate as much color as possible in every aspect of the party from the decor, to the outfits, and especially the food. Starting off, we made invitations one week in advance with help from Paper Source using orange card stock and raffia.
