Mardi Gras Party
Wanting to plan the perfect Mardi Gras party? Even if you can't go to New Orleans for the big celebration, it is still possible to have a fun, crazy party at your home during Mardi Gras. While you may not be able to have some of the cool floats, there are some cool additions you can add to your party to give it that unique, New Orleans feel that has made Mardi Gras so famous!
Room Decorations
One of the hardest parts of planning a Mardi Gras party is finding the right room decorations for the party. While streamers and colored tableware are essential, it is important to add other colorful finishing touches to your party. Some of the best decorations that give an excellent finishing touch to any Mardi Gras party are colorful door fringes and other doorway decorations. As well, don't forget that colored beaded jewelry aren't just party favors, but perfect decorations to add to tables.
If you would like to finish off your decorations, don't forget that colored or metallic confetti can give an excellent finish to any table setting. Even though many people don't think about confetti, it is commonly thrown around the streets of New Orleans, giving a fun and festive look to any table or party room used for your Mardi Gras event.
Costumes
If there is one thing that screams Mardi Gras, it's colorful masks and party hats. Like Halloween, just about any type of mask and hat is appropriate for a Mardi Gras party. Children especially love to decorate their own masks, making a masquerade mask or cats eye mask perfect as a base, with other fun sequins and craft supplies. Unlike other holidays, this is the perfect time to get children busy making crafts. Starting with a personalized mask, you may also want to consider adding other finishing touches to your Mardi Gras costume. We personally prefer wild looking hats and colorful feathered boas.
Party Favors
When many of us think of Mardi Gras, we think of the fun favors that are thrown from floats in New Orleans. For this reason, no Mardi Gras party is complete without metallic or colorful beaded necklaces. These popular necklaces come in just about every shape and size, making them the perfect prizes or party favors for Mardi Gras parties. If you would like to use other themed party favors for your Mardi Gras party, don't forget that just about any type of flash jewelry is perfect for a Mardi Gras party, including glow in the dark jewelry.
