Throw a Mardi Gras Costume Party and Celebrate the Most Decadent Day of the Year!  

Mardi Gras, also know as “Fat Tuesday” is the final party before Ash Wednesday which begins the sacrifices of the season of Lent.

Mardi Gras costumes tend to be outrageous, brightly colored outfits. Purlpe, green and gold tend to be the prominate colors. Mardi Gras costumes tend to be adorned with beads, feathers, masks, boas and lots of wild jewelry.

Mardi Gras originated in France. With the arrival of the French citizens to the U.S. in the late 17th century and settling in New Orleans, the Mardi Gras tradition arrived as well.

Today New Orleans is visited by millions during the Mardi Gras Fesival and it is celebrated with great pomp and curcumstance every year. The people of New Orleans only added the tradition of holding balls and hosting parades to the Mardi Gras festival. A Mardi Gras party, much like Halloween, is the time when you can show your wild side through the costume you select for the party. Costumes are a way to escape from reality and enter the world of fantasy and dreams.

Some of the most popular Mardi Gras outfits worn by people are kings, queens, court jesters, clowns and even masquerade costumes. Masquerade costumes are the most popular and have been highly popularized by Hollywood movies. (The Masquerade Ball in Phantom of the Opera is a prime example.) You can choose to be any hero or royalty for just one day!
