Have you ever wanted to throw a party but you just didn't have time to plan? Worry no more! We have all the scoop on how to throw an #InstantFiesta - complete with margaritas, tasty snacks and even simple tips to decorate your home!
Plus, enter to win a Rubbermaid FreshWorks set to keep your veggies fresh & a $50 Visa gift card to buy fiesta supplies!
No party would be complete without a refreshing drink. And here's our secret to delicious margaritas, made in no time at all:
Mix 3 parts mixer to 1 part tequila with an extra "part" of Gran Gala or Grand Marnier. Add in the juices and throw in a lime wedge. Drink up!
The easiest way to feed party-goers is with chips and dips. Take your pick from the following three. All are easy to throw together in no time. And in case you do have time to shop in advance, we love the Rubbermaid FreshWorks to keep our fruits and veggies fresh until we have time to cut them.
Rotel Cheese Dip
Corn & Black Bean Salad
Combine all the ingredients. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. This one is especially good for an outdoor party on a hot day since the frozen corn stays cool for a bit.
Make-your-own taco bars are the best! Just cook some ground beef or turkey and put it out with some hard and soft shells and your favorite fixin's, such as: lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, black olives, sour cream and salsa. As a side, try this deliciously refreshing salad:
Jalapeno Mint Salad
You can buy decorations or just look around the house for something appropriate. A brightly colored scarf can work as a table runner. Succulent plants look beautiful too. Or even try edible decorations, such as avocados or a mix of colored peppers in a festive bowl.

Favorite party snack chips and dip
My favorite party snack would have to be chex mix, with guacamole and dip a close second. Thanks for the chance to win! wildorchid985 at gmail dot com
My favorite snack is chips with sour cream and onion dip.
Little smokies with BBQ sauce & orange marmalade is always popular
My favorite party snack is pigs-in-a-blanket!
Popcorn is my favorite party snack.
My favorite snack is a 7 layer dip. So many good things in it.
My favorite snack has to be chicken wings. I love it tangy, spicy, or sweet but not a fan of buffalo flavor. My son loves it though!
Chips are everyone's favorite.
Our home made salad mmm
My favorite party snack has just become guacamole dip served with the white corn chips....I know this is a "norm" but I have just become a big fan. I buy the pre-made quac at ALDI's and also their corn chips. They are equal to, if not better than, the "name" brands! And, I must say, a lot easier than making it at home....not that it's that hard, but time considerations play a lot when planning any kind of a get together or family event!!
Beer cheese dip. Yum!
I love Mexican food
I want to try the corn and black bean salad! That looks really good!
My favorite party snack is also pigs in a blanket! I mean come on THEYRE bomb!
