A rural Mexican girl whose 15th birthday party invitation went viral is being showered with offers of a TV show, free plane tickets and hotel stays.

Rubi Ibarra got an offer to appear on the soap opera The Rose of Guadalupe and a cumbia group issued a song in her honour on Friday.

The governor of the State of Mexico has offered her a free holiday at the state's tourist spot, Valle de Bravo.

Millions responded after the girl's father taped an invitation for "everybody" to come to her coming-of-age party in northern Mexico.

The invitation video featured her rhinestone tiara and faux leopard-skin dress, and father Crescencio Ibarra's cowboy hat, and his halting description of a 10,000-peso ($A670) prize for a horse race that would cap the party.
