Let’s answer some of the most common questions about party pinatas.

How can I use a pinata at my wedding?

Remember, wedding entertainment is the salt and pepper of a wedding. If you feel lighthearted, happy, and ready for fun moments, so will your guests. Wedding piñata might be a trend, but they are more than that. They bring happy moments that will turn into happy memories.

They can replace the traditional wedding cake or turn it into guest gift boxes and guest notes.

 

What are our personal choices?

A wedding cake piñata can be so realistic and fun, that makes it is a perfectly suited replacement for a traditional cake. It works extremely well for couples who want to ditch tradition and replace it with fun.

I love them all, but the flamingo-shaped pinata is my top favorite!
