Mardi Gras Masquerade Birthday Party Invitations
To get your Mardi Gras birthday party started right you need revelers! And your invitation sets the tone for your birthday before it ever starts – elegant, casual, silly – whatever you want, let your invitation reflect it. Choose from our variety of personalized Mardi Gras theme invitations.

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 can be used for an invitation, sign in board, welcome cutout, photo opportunity or even thank you notes.

Whichever way you go, throw some Mardi Gras confetti in the envelope and everyone will be ready to party!

Mardi Gras Birthday Decorations and Party Supplies
Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, is an opulent celebration of crazy costumes and wild make-up, masked balls and colorful parades. Bring the feeling of a Mardi Gras parade to your birthday with bright Mardi Gras decorations and party supplies. Some of our favorite choices include:

• Beads - the perfect Mardi Gras decoration, pile them all over the room!
• Mardi Gras Masks - Great for wall decorations, add a few to any flower arrangements, and they will also decorate your guests nicely.
• Mardi Gras Garland - great for doorways, banisters, and edging tables.
• Music Note Confetti and Gold Coins - mix these together and scatter them on tables for a fun Mardi Gras themed confetti.
• Mardi Gras Ceiling Decor - hang these from the ceiling in a hallway, fabulous!

Mardi Gras Table Decorations and Menu

• Mardi Gras Green or Gold Table Skirt - perfect for adding color to the buffet table
  
• Mask Centerpiece - these are really fun for any table, even the bar
  
• Mardi Gras Balloons - groups of latex balloons are great centerpieces for large rooms

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.

Mardi Gras Birthday Games and Activities
There are so many exciting activities you can plan, so pick and choose depending on your budget. Why not have a costume parade and contest? Whoever has the most elaborate and creative costume is the winner! If you plan on having a costume parade make sure it's clear on your invitation, this way everyone can dress up and compete. Don't forget your personalized camera to capture all of the action.

Another fun activity that you can arrange is "Hidden Treasure." Divide everyone into two teams, and have a treasure hunt for gold Doubloons. You can hide a bunch of stuff with or without giving the teams clues as to the whereabouts of the "treasure." The team that finds the most "treasure" wins a prize!
