Mardi Gras Birthday Party Ideas

What better way to celebrate Mardi Gras even if you cannot get to New Orleans yourself? Gather all of your friends and have a rockin' Mardi Gras stay-action. Kick the day off with a Mimosa, then work your way up to the revelry, Cajun style.

Hosting a Mardi Gras Theme Party

As the hostess, it will be up to you to make sure that the mardi gras theme party flows evenly and that no one takes the anything-goes atmosphere too far. While it is a safe bet that you will be serving alcohol, you need to make sure that you are playing it safe as well and never let a drunken guest drive home.

That being said, the other warning to keep in mind is this: do not allow the entire party to pass you by. Have as many things done ahead so that you can actually enjoy yourself and if anyone asks if you would like or need help, say yes.

Mardi Gras Party Recipes

If you are feeling particularly adventurous, order in a little bit of alligator meat to toss onto the grill; if not then stick to traditional fare such as Gumbo and Jambalaya to get the party started. Traditional Muffeletta sandwiches are another option. Remember though, if you are serving traditional fare, you must also provide less spicy options for those who cannot or will not brave the heat.
