After sending out your invites, here is a list of the party essentials.
1. Masks! Small masks and wild hats will get your guests in the spirit. Making your own masks is a fun diy project. See the tutorial on our blog!
2. Cocktails! Spruce up your drink of choice with some beads and Mardi Gras swizzle sticks.
3. Beads! Bedeck your guests in Mardi Gras beads. Pass them out as they walk through the door or throw some in a bowl for grabbing.
4. Decorate! Decorate using purple, gold and/or green candles, vibrant purple table linens with gold napkins, metallic gold, purple and green balloons, and don't forget confetti!
5. Music! A little Cajun-Zydeco music will get the good times rolling.
6. Food! What do they serve in New Orleans? Gumbo, giant shrimp, jambalaya and anything Creole, Cajun or blackened. And don't forget the King Cake!
