Arguably the most outrageous holiday out there, Mardi Gras should not go by without a party. Take the reins and throw the bash yourself, following these tips and tricks to make it the best ever.
- Think purple, gold and green. Lots of them. You cannot decorate TOO much for a Mardi Gras party, so don’t hold back.
- You’re going to need beads – and lots of them. Meet your guests at the door with beads, drape them from every spot you can, wear them, toss them and create general mayhem with tons of beads.
- Award prizes for the wildest masks, hats and costumes. How about the tallest party goer (watch for stilts) or tangent costumes (more than one person in a costume together)? Be outrageous with your rewards and reward the outrageous. It makes for a real Mardi Gras feel.
