You could even take it a step further and have a roasted pig! Dessert can be loads of fun with Cuban staples like flan and mango mousse. And you cannot forget the cafe cubano! Music is what makes the festivities. Find a band that is familiar with the music you want played. If you want a DJ, ensure he has favorites in his library like Celia Cruz, Ibrahim Ferrer, and Arturo Sandoval. Encourage your non-graceful guests to dance by providing a basic, but fun, dance lesson.

How you tie the decor into your theme is very important. Domino tables are seen everywhere in Cuba. Why not use a few scattered around your venue as cocktail tables. Dress up your dining tables with pearberry and orchids in your color. Choose bright colorful linens that contrast and complement the dishes you have chosen. Your rich, decadent cake could have sugar orchids and white butterflies cascading to the table. Release white doves at your departure for a romantic send off.

What ever you do, enjoy yourself and your loved ones! Turn to your family and friends for personal inspirations and traditions. Buena Suerte!
