Mardi Gras Invitations For Special Mardi Gras Party

Mardi Gras is probably the most well known party in the United States and still reigns as one of the country’s largest street festivals. However if you can’t make it down to New Orleans for Fat Tuesday there’s no reason why you can’t throw your own Mardi Gras Party. Obviously, you should know a few things about the celebration before you start mailing your custom Mardi Gras party Invitations, http://www.holiday-invitations.com/

The Mardi Gras Parties Basics

This annual celebration is actually part of a religious tradition, although it may not look that way from some of the footage you see in the French Quarter. Right before Lent, there is a three day period known as Carnival. This is when people celebrate and indulge themselves before having to endure the long sacrifices during Lent that lasts until Easter. Usually, Carnival starts in early or middle February. And that’s where your personalized Mardi Gras invitations, http://www.holiday-invitations.com/mardi-gras-party-invitations-cards-26.htm come into the picture.

The last day of Carnival is always a Tuesday and its when the fanfare reaches its climax – hence the name Fat Tuesday, or in French “Mardi Gras.” Having a popular Mardi Gras party can be a lot of fun, but first you need to know how to plan for the MardiGras party and what types of invitations Mardi Gras, http://www.holiday-invitations.com/mardi-gras-party-invitations-cards-26.htm to choose.

Planning Your Mardi Gras Party Invites

One of the main themes are the colors. Generally, the colors purple, gold and green are popular because they are supposed to stand for justice, power and faith, respectively. Clearly, you’ll want to keep these colors in mind as you decorate for your celebration. They’d be good to keep in mind as you hunt for your favorite Mardi Gras invitation cards, too. Another idea for your party is to have a Mardi Gras Ball. In Fat Tuesday terms, a ball is a MardiGras masquerade party in which guests wear Mardi Gras masks to hide their identity while engaging in all types of fun. These balls have a long history in New Orleans during the season. Encourage your guests to decorate their Mardi Gras mask in the three colors previously mentioned.

You should also have plenty of party favors and Mardi Gras beads for everyone who receives your unique Mardi Gras party invitations. These favors and beads play an important role in the festivities. In all cities throughout the world there are groups known as, Krewes, that are responsible for handling different parts of the events, such as throwing the balls and handling parts of the parades. To please the crowds, the Krewes started throwing out items including doubloons (coins marked with the Krewes’ insignia) and colored beads. In January and February, you can find these beads priced affordably at most party stores.

Finally, you don’t want to send out your custom Mardi Gras party invitation, http://www.holiday-invitations.com/mardi-gras-party-invitations-cards-26.htm or Mardi Gras invitations until you’ve learned how to make your very own King Cake. These oval cakes are usually decorated in traditional colors. Under the delicious cake is hidden a plastic doll. The person who finds the doll is given the responsibility of throwing the next party. King Cake is one of the most popular foods during Carnival in New Orleans.
