One of the best times of the year happens each winter, before the flower buds of spring start to peek through the ground. Are you scratching your head and trying to think of a holiday? This isn’t a holiday, but an event.
Events are as much or more fun than any holiday. Mardi Gras! When Mardi Gras rolls around each year, it is time to roll up the carpet, put out your best decorations and invite your friends and family members over for a celebration! Every Mardi Gras needs a party, no matter if you have been having a good year or a bad year.
There are different ways you can dress up your Mardi Gras party as well. From simple decorations to over the top and awesome decorations, they will be found here on this site! To begin, your Mardi Gras party needs some planning. Write out a guest list and get an idea for how big or how small this function will be.
Once you have an estimate, then it is time to do some shopping for the Mardi Gras decorations and the paper accessories needed to make your event awesome. Are you going to be providing a full dinner, complete with a King Cake for dessert? Then you will need a whole lot of dinner plates, dinner napkins, silverware and accessories to don your kitchen. Don’t forget the serving bowls and spoons! Plates, napkins and silverware that are disposable make for an easy clean up so you can get back to your guests.
If you only plan to serve appetizers all night long, then there are dessert plates, cocktail napkins and toothpicks that can be used to serve the food. Colorful paper cups can also be added if you have a selection of cocktails or punch to serve to your guests.
Now it is time for the decorations! There are all kinds of things to hang from the ceiling to make any room in your house or basement look festive. Beads in purple, green and gold can be hung across the doorway, so once the guest enters the room they are completely in a Mardi Gras party zone! Inside the room you could choose to decorate with more banners, coordinating colors of crepe paper and even more beads.
Speaking of beads, don’t forget the armloads of beads to hand out to your guests. Whether you involve a parade or not, buy strands of beads that every aged guest will want to wear around their neck for your special party. Layer the beads in purple, green and gold or buy every color under the rainbow so you have a great look.
Margi Gras parties can also include masks for all of the guests. Hand them out at the door or instruct them to bring their own on the invitation. Make your Mardi Gras party a night to remember for everyone. Don’t skip out on decorating or providing accessories that everyone associates with Mardi Gras – green, purple and gold everything!
