Mardi Gras Wedding Shower
Host a Mardi Gras wedding shower and let the good times roll!
If the bride has a New Orleans heritage or just a love for the "Big Easy", then a Mardi Gras shower is sure to be a big hit.
PURPLE, GREEN AND GOLD
All Mardi Gras celebrations should have a feeling of joy and excitement.
To help bring that feeling to your shower use the colors of Mardi Gras - purple, green and gold - as much as possible.
CREATIVE WEDDING SHOWER INVITATIONS
Starting with your invitations, let your guests know what your shower theme is. Be creative!
Use purple, green and gold envelopes to incorporate the color scheme into your invitations.
Print out Mardi Gras masks to use as your invitations or print a Mardi Gras Jester on the invitation.
Use metallic card stock. Jazz them up with glitter and sequins.
The ideas are endless to make your shower invitations unique.
MARDI GRAS BRIDAL SHOWER DECORATION IDEAS
If you are using a long table, use a white tablecloth with purple or green runners on top. For several smaller tables use purple and green tablecloths - alternating the colors.
Attach purple, green and gold balloons with streamers to the doors and windows. Or use the balloons as your bridal shower centerpieces.
Treasure chests filled with chocolate doubloons can also be used as centerpieces. Let the gold doubloons spill out onto the table.
Another idea for a table centerpiece is to attach Mardi Gras masks to long wooden sticks. Fill a clear vase with small colored marbles and stick the masks in the vase. Put enough masks in each vase so every guest can have one.
Sprinkle metallic confetti around the vases.
Spread plenty of Mardi Gras beads on the tabletops for your guests to wear.
