What do you think about a Fiesta-themed bridal shower?

I am throwing a bridal shower for my sister who is getting married May 26th. I have already booked a country club for her shower, however this weekend we were at a party at that same country club and my sister specifically said to me during dinner 'I really hope you don't have my shower here because the food is horrible!'

I'm glad she said it because I wouldn't want her to be disappointed! Plus, she's right the food wasn't good and I'm glad we found out now rather than at her shower!!

ANYWAY, I know of a Mexican restaurant that does bridal showers, etc. and my FH says it's the best Mexican food around. I'm going there for dinner on Thursday. I'm on a tight budget and most nice Italian/American places in my area are too expensive.
I just wanted some opinions about it from you girls. My sister and my entire family love Mexican food and I'm thinking most people nowadays like it too. I thought maybe a fiesta theme would be fun!
What do you think???

**** these are the favors I ordered for her shower - I just got them in the mail yesterday and they are AWESOME! I think they would go with the theme, right??

I went to a fiesta-themed shower in a home and it was a lot of fun--lots of sangria. I would imagine a restaurant would be even more festive. Have you checked out hotel restaurants. They might offer a diverse cuisine, so maybe you can create a menu of mexican food and a few non-mexican items to keep everyone happy.

I think it's a cute idea. The shower is a good time to be fun and not so formal.

Super!! I'm gonna try not to let any more 'traditional bridal shower' suggestions from family, etc. interfere with my plan! Everyone has an opinion... but they can kiss it cause I think it's a great idea!

I think its a fun little twist.....but....i also LOVE anything mexican!!! I think it would be good for all across the board. Those who don't like 'true mexican' can find something with chicken and rice and what not!!!

PS--- LOVE LOVE LOVE the favors....where did you get them if you don't mind!!

The favors were on clearance at Pier 1. I just checked and they're all sold out now...but check back because the availability seems to update from time to time. Can't beat the price though...marked down from $15 to $2.
