Invitations Create Mardi Gras Buzz
Before the First Beads are Handed Out

by Gail Leino



What good is a Mardi Gras party without Mardi Gras invitations? Invitations to a Mardi Gras party need to be as fun and festive as the week long event itself.

For example, if a business is throwing a Mardi Gras party and inviting top clients then make sure to budget a fair amount of money on the Mardi Gras party invitations. First sit down with your event planning team to plan out the party. Get a general idea on decorations, costumes, food, entertainment etc. Once you have the level of quality established it’s time to send out invitations with a similar theme and quality.

The Mardi Gras party invitations should be representative of the main colors of Mardi Gras; purple, green and gold. For a business gathering these invitations should be professionally printed. To add extra excitement to the invitations, attach and send them via courier with a Mardi Gras mask, Mardi Gras beads, or a feathered boa. This extra touch excites the guest and will instantly pass along the atmosphere of the party.

Mardi Gras invitations for a home party need not be as extravagant or expensive. There are several free online e-invitation services where a digital invitation can be created based on any theme and then sent via an email blast to your guests. They can even RSVP online and arrange carpools to the event.

The key to Mardi Gras invitations is to make the bright, lively and colorful while instilling the excitement in the guests so a buzz will be created about the event!
