Super Bowl Mardi Gras Party Ideas

Ideas, Invitations, Party Supplies, Decorations and Party Favors

We here at Party411 think it's great that Super Bowl falls in the same month as Mardi Gras!  Two of the most festive holidays of the year can now be celebrated with one big bash! Your guests will love this Mardi Gras Super Bowl party!

Mardi Gras Super Bowl Invitations

We have great Super Bowl invitations and Mardi Gras invitations. Even better, we've got a personalized Mardi Gras Super Bowl Invitation from Creations For You! What could be better? To add to the excitement, I'd add football confetti to the envelope.

You can also make your own invite, just layer cardstock in Mardi Gras colors (purple, green and gold) and add a foam cutout of a football in one corner. Throw some Mardi Gras beads in the envelope to seal the deal!

Or choose a football ticket invitation in purple or yellow to match the Mardi Gras colors. You get to use your own wording, and can order as few as 30. So these are great for a Mardi Gras Super Bowl bash.

Mardi Gras Super Bowl Decorations and Party Supplies

This is a great party because you can really mix Super Bowl decorations and Mardi Gras decorations! Any combination will work as long as you've got a good mix of football and Mardi Gras.

I would start In the front yard with a 6' Mardi Gras airblown sign. Surround it with inflatable 24" footballs. Hang a Mardi Gras party banner at the door welcoming everyone to Mardi Gras and Super Bowl 2009!

Inside you're guests will LOVE a personalized Mardi Gras Football player cutout with your face and a speech bubble welcoming them to Mardi Gras and Super Bowl. Or get the photo op for your guests!

Nothing screams Mardi Gras more than beads, so greet your guests with football beads. Purple and green tinsel maracas will help your guests cheer on their favorite team.

Here are a few more of our favorite Mardi Gras and Football decorations that are perfect for mixing and matching. Use what works for you!

• Football dangles and Mardi Gras swirls - Get a pack of each and hang them from the ceiling

• Football lights and Mardi Gras lights - Great for stringing around the party or across a buffet table

• Football confetti, gold coins and King Cake babies - Mix them together and sprinkle them on your tables

• Yellow, green, purple, and Mylar football balloons - Use two of each color and one football to make fantastic balloon bouquets

By combining these two fantastic themes, you can't go wrong!

Super Bowl Party Menu and Table Decorations

This is a casual party, so paper goods are perfect. We've got Super Bowl XLIII theme paper goods and Mardi Gras paper goods. I personally love the Super Bowl paper goods. I'd use these for dinner and and use the Mardi Gras bead theme napkins and paper goods for appetizers and snacks.

Set the table with a grass field tablecover or a vinyl NFL tablecover. Centerpieces can be Mardi Gras jester hats with a lime green boa wrapped around the base. You can put an inflatable football in the center of the hat, or have latex and Mylar balloons coming out of the center.

We know the Super Bowl is about food, so serve chips and snacks in purple or green felt top hats turned upside down.  Then give your food a Mardi Gras feel with Gumbo and other New Orleans style food. For dessert, stick with the traditional Mardi Gras King Cake. Serve it on a football platter with King Cake babies scattered around the platter.

Make sure your drinks look as fabulous as our table. Use tri-color football cubes in all of your drinks. These light up footballs will dazzle your guests as they throw one back. You should also personalize your beer bottles (a must for Mardi Gras AND Super Bowl) with a personalized Mardi Gras Super Bowl beer bottle label from Creations For You! Put your cold drinks in a big cooler (just like tailgating!) or get this fun inflatable goal post cooler. Remember to pick up plenty of ice!

Mardi Gras Super Bowl Activities

It is Mardi Gras, so make your guests work for their Mardi Gras beads!  Have Super Bowl betting contests and give out beads to the winners. Football trivia is another fun idea. Grab some facts from our Super Bowl History and put together some simple questions. You can have a variety of difficulty levels and offer Mardi Gras metallic beads for the easier contests and more fancy blinking mask beads for more difficult contests.

You should also check out our Super Bowl Games and Activities and Mardi Gras Party Games for some fun ways to entertain your guests!

Super Bowl Party Favors

At the end of the game, pass out a personalized Mardi Gras Super Bowl Candy Bar to thank everyone for attending.  And since the party would not have been the same without your guests, crown them King or Queen with a Kings Crown or a Queens Crown!
