Mardi Gras Decorations

I love costumes – especially masks – so Mardi Gras is a fun holiday to decorate and dress up for! I added a Mardi Gras table to my St. Patty’s decorations this year 🙂

I repurposed wine bottles of course – the green, gold, and purple bottle in front is my favorite. Hanging beads out of hurricane and martini glasses makes for a beautiful display. We got a bunch of fancy masks at Party City when they had a going out of business sale. I like to wear these with the rest of my silly ensemble to the Soulard Mardi Gras festivities.

Masquerade Work Party

My social team at work coordinated a masquerade party including putting up all the decorations. I brought in my glasses (hurricane, martini, bubble bowls), and we filled them with beads. We bought masks for everyone to wear. We even had a few games including a bead toss, guess the number of candies, and the “No” game (where you start with a set of beads and if you say a “mask” you lost your beads to that person). We had cajun food and cupcakes catered, and I brought in rum balls.
