Encourage guests to arrive dressed in costume and ready to have
fun!
While Fat Tuesday is the traditional time to have a Mardi Gras
party, you can have one any time of the year. What better way to
liven things up? It's also a great way to celebrate the ongoing
spirit of New Orleans.
Decorations
There are many Mardi Gras supplies out there, but you can create
a fun party without having to purchase a lot of supplies.
Think green, gold, and purple!
*Use lots of green, gold, and purple balloons.
*Brightly
colored poster boards to create the "happy and sad" theatre
faces as well

as some eye masks.
*Beads, beads, beads!
*Christmas lights can add an accent to the rich colors.
*Create your own noisemakers with any type of container and a
few beans or rice inside.
Invitations
The invitations can include the Mardi Gras masks and lots of
green, yellow, and purple beads with "Celebrate" or "Party" on
the face cover.
Food/Drink
Consider a blend of seafood, Cajun, and jambalaya. Easy recipes
can be found online or in many cookbooks. Offer a range of
festive drinks as well, such as a Hurricane, Bloody Mary, and
Mint Juleps.
