Mardi Gras Masquerade Birthday Party

Ideas, Invitations, Decorations & Favors

What makes a perfect Mardi Gras masquerade birthday party?  Food, fun, friends and the right Mardi Gras masquerade party supplies are the key ingredients.  The good news is you don’t have to spend a huge amount of money to have a great event. Just do what’s right for your guests and your budget. Let Party411.com and Creations for You help you plan a memorable Mardi Gras masquerade birthday party that everyone will be talking about, long after the party’s over.

Mardi Gras Masquerade Birthday Party Invitations

An invitation sets the tone for the party before it ever starts – elegant, casual, silly – whatever you want, let your invitation reflect it.  Creations for You offers a wide variety of personalized Mardi Gras masquerade birthday invitations. We even designed an invitation just for a birthday party.   

Birthdays beg for a truly unique invitation!  We can design a caricature invitation of the guest of honor.  Not only is this genuinely special, the art for this invitation can be used for a sign in board, welcome cutout, photo opportunity or even thank you notes. 

See an example of a Caricature Party Package!

If you’re the creative type, then make your own invitation.  Just 3 simple steps.

1. Decide what kind of paper you want to use. Heavy poster board, card stock, colored paper or fine linen are all possibilities. 
2. Pick a graphic that matches your theme. (a picture of the birthday person is always a possibility).  If you are using a computer grab a digital photo. If you are brave and are going to hand draw your invites use markers, glitter and don’t forget coordinating envelopes.
3. Decide what content you need. It’s pretty standard. When, where and why is usually sufficient.  If you want them to bring something (food or drink) or if you want them to respond, let them know.

Throw some Mardi Gras beads in the envelope and you are good to go.

Mardi Gras Masquerade Birthday Decorations and Party Supplies

Balloons, scene setters, ceiling danglers and welcome banners with personalized messages, all make the party even more of a celebration.  Mardi Gras Decorating411 has more decorating ideas and Mardi Gras party supplies that can set the right mood.  Some of our favorite choices include:

A few extra items from Creations for You will really make your party special.  A personalized sign in board or one with a caricature of the guest of honor is an easy and unique way for guests to give you their good wishes.

And you can greet them with a life size cutout of the guest of honor.  Naturally they will be “dressed” for the occasion!  Add a speech bubble for extra fun!

Centerpieces, are a great addition to any party.  Turn your caricature into a 3-sided centerpiece that will look fabulous on any table.  Place Mardi Gras balloons or purple and yellow flowers in it.   Add some Mardi Gras table decorations to your table and you are almost ready to go.  All you are missing is some Mardi Gras paper goods, or if this is a milestone birthday think about using these milestone birthday paper goods.

Food and Beverages

A Mardi Gras masquerade birthday party says Cajun food and king cake, and that’s certainly a great choice.  But this is a birthday party so pizza, chili, easy to eat appetizers, desserts and birthday cake are all good choices as well – the food at your party can be as simple or elaborate as you want.  My friends are getting older and are eating a little smarter so I try to get one “healthy” and one vegetarian option. 

No matter what you serve, be sure to have plenty of beverages; all with personalized labels on the bottles.  We have labels for water, beer, wine, or champagne.  Each personalized label comes with your name, the date of the party, even a photo on it.  Or choose one of the great Mardi Gras labels. Don’t forget that you create the message so you can craft words that suit the occasion.  Be sure to order extras so your guests can take home a bottle of the “house beverage.”

Entertainment

Day or night, great entertainment is key to the success of any party.  Your guests will be standing in line to have their pictures taken with a life size photo opportunity from Creations for You.  Make your guests dreams come true as they are transformed into a jester or jazz musician – whatever character you choose. 

And everyone can be both star and paparazzi thanks to personalized cameras from Creations for You.  They’ll be snapping away with these great disposable cameras that are customized just for you.  Be sure to get extras – they are perfect party favors.

Mardi Gras Masquerade Party Favors

Send your guests home with a sweet treat from your party.  A scrumptious milk or dark chocolate candy bar with a personalized Mardi Gras birthday wrapper is a delicious souvenir for a wonderful party.
