Cinco de Mayo’s history dates back to 1862 and honors the Mexican army’s victory over France at the Battle of Puebla, which was a big deal because the Mexican army was a lot smaller than France’s. Over the years, as more Mexicans moved to states like California, the holiday began to gain popularity in the United States and today the culture is widely celebrated on May 5th in a lighthearted nature with tacos, margaritas music and festivals. So if you’re looking for a creative way to invite your amigos to a party you’re throwing to celebrate or just want a clever way to greet someone when the holiday comes around, check out these 50 Happy Cinco de Mayo wishes below. The punny taco, chips and guac-themed messages will bring a smile to their face, make them laugh and get them excited to celebrate this May 5th!
