More from MamásLatinas: Everything you ever wanted to know about Tequila!
Frida Kahlo's birthday is on July 6, so there is a great opportunity to throw an amazing soirée just because. Or you can decide to focus on a Frida Kahlo theme for your next birthday party, a Mexican night or even a wedding.
Frida is synonymous with bright colors, big flowers, crafty decorations and, of course, tequila, tacos and everything Mexican. So if you are ready to take a page of Frida's book and have a fiesta to celebrate and honor our Latin culture, here are some amazing ideas.
Set the mood with the invitation.
It's a great idea to lead with some of Frida Kahlo's amazing quotes.
If you have time, you can even get a party kit.
The Frida party kit costs around $20, but if not, remember to get everything as happy looking as possible. Throw neutral out of the window.
A colorful decoration is essential.
Big bold flowers set the tone for a Frida Kahlo party. Here are several templates to make this design yourself.
The ceiling also deserves some love.
Balloons, papel picado, even some colorful string lights will work to set the festive mood.
Tacos must be on the menu.
There are many many ways to make tacos, but to have a Frida party without the most famous of all the Mexican amazing dishes just seems wrong.
Anything with tequila will work.
Frida Kahlo used to say that tequila was one of the few things that helped her with the constant pain she felt in her body. Whether you offer shots, or cocktails, every Frida party needs tequila.
You need a Frida Kahlo cake.
There are many versions for the flavor, fillings and decor, but this seems a good place to start.
Don't forget the piñata.
Because we all know that a birthday party without a piñata is just not a party.

It will also account for great memories.
A photo booth is also a great idea.
You can make the props yourself or buy them already made. This set costs $36 on Etsy.
Become the best Frida Kahlo.
Flowers in your head, a brightly colored pashmina and if you are feeling daring, don't forget the uni brow.
Make sure that Frida Kahlo's legacy endures.
You are simply you, and that's more than enough.
