Mardi Gras is a celebration of life enjoyed everywhere but mainly as carnivals in New Orleans and Brazil. Since not everyone can make it to this famous celebration, why not have a Mardi Gras party based on some theme like a masquerade party.
Your guests can come in outrageous or silly costumes. You can set the mood by using traditional Mardi Gras colors of purple, gold and green to put up balloons, crepe paper streamers, plates, cups, and utensils in these colors. Traditional Mardi Gras symbols include feathers, masks, jesters, and crowns and you can include these into your decorations.
Organize floats and guest could actively take part in the merry making. Pass out beads and candy for those who join the floats and of course some guests could be spectators. Someone can lead the way with Mardi Gras music blaring from the boom box. Give participants special masks made for the occasion. Games associated with Mardi Gras Theme are Golden Coconut, Bead Toss and Treasure Hunt.
You can serve King Cake along with pancakes and fried doughnuts covered in cinnamon sugar. Mardi Gras party supplies like paper plates, napkins, and cups are a perfect way to complete the party theme. Mardi Gras loot bags tucked in basket can be a centerpiece and double as party prizes. Party favors like masks and glow jewelry will create festive energetic spirit of your party.
