Jester Costumes

Since Mardi Gras is a time of celebration and humor it makes sense that a jester costume is the perfect fit for any Mardi Gras party. You’ll find a wide variety of jester costumes: including some that feature the colors of Mardi Gras:  purple, green, and yellow.  You’ll also find black and white “harlequin” costumes, some featuring frightful masks.  The traditional jester costumes feature a pants and a tunic top with a jagged neck piece.  You may even be able to find some that feature festive gold trim to jazz up the overall look of the costume.  Of course you cannot forget the whimsical jester hat that accompanies the costume to truly finish off your festive Mardi Gras look.

Marie Antoinette Costume

If you have a Mardi Gras ball to go to a perfect costume choice is a Marie Antoinette costume.  Part of this is due to the fact that Mardi Gras is celebrated primarily in the French Quarter of New Orleans.  This makes Marie Antoinette a perfect dress up choice.  Marie Antoinette costumes come in a variety of different styles, but the most common style is a traditional style dress.  This square necked, full skirted dress features stunning metallic brocades and delicate ruffle work.  However, if you are looking for something more provocative for your Mardi Gras celebration you might want to look at a shorter version of a Marie Antoinette garment.  The truth is that no Marie Antoinette costume is complete without her signature wig.

Mardi Gras King Costumes

It is good to be king…especially on Fat Tuesday!  Dressing as the carnival king can be a popular costume choice for many Mardi Gras revelers.  To really look great for your party you will want to choose a costume that screams Mardi Gras, and much of that has to do with the colors on the costume.  A carnival king costume should involve purple, gold, and black, and if you find one that integrates a traditional harlequin diamond pattern all the better.  Of course no king is complete without his crown, and the more extravagant the better.  If you can find one that is plush purple with feathers and gold you are sure to turn heads at your Mardi Gras party.

Masqerade Costume

No king is complete without his queen so if you are going to a celebration as a couple you must find the lady the perfect outfit. There are many different queen costumes out there, but the perfect choice for Mardi Gras has to be one that screams luxury.  One of the best is the Carnival Queen costume.  This gorgeous dress features a fitted bodice and a full skirt complete with petticoats, ruffles, and a peplum skirt.   This dress is stunning and eye catching in its black and white pattern, but what makes this really symbolize Mardi Gras is the masquerade mask that accompanies it.  Of course there are other options, and the truth is that if it is luxurious and festive you will be the belle of the ball.

Mardi Gras Beads

No Mardi Gras celebration is complete without beads.  The truth is that much of the overall celebration is geared towards collecting beads so why not get some of your own to really give your celebration a pop.  Mardi Gras beads are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors.  However, the most popular choices have to be those in the traditional Mardi Gras colors of purple, green, and gold.  That being said, for Mardi Gras the bigger the beads the better.  If you can find some really unique beads or some really huge beads those are going to be the ones that people are going to really want to get throughout the evening.  That can set you up for a really fun and fantastic evening.

Mardi Gras Masks and Hats

Mardi Gras is a time for festivity, and Mardi Gras themed hats and masks can add to that party atmosphere.  Masquerade masks are a great choice as a masquerade is a common choice for a Mardi Gras party.  With these masks there is a bit of anonymity which can add to the fun of any Mardi Gras party.  However, if you are not looking for that and just looking for a great time Mardi Gras hats can be a great addition to your party.  There are a variety of choices to any party host, but the most popular are those that tend to scream Mardi Gras through their color scheme and their whimsical feel.

Mardi Gras Party Supplies

When you are planning your own Mardi Gras party you want to be sure that you have all of the supplies that you need.  Decorations are key to this.  Balloons and streamers are a traditional decoration choice, but you may also want to look for signs or window clings as well.  Again, here you are going to want to stick with that traditional Mardi Gras color scheme.  You may also want to look at purchasing some fun decorations for your drinks like themed swizzle sticks or glasses.  Of course you cannot forget those fun and festive paper plates and napkins to really finish off the overall decor of your party.

Mardi Gras is the ultimate party holiday.  When you think about it you may think of drunken partying through the streets of New Orleans with beads and floats.  However, Mardi Gras did not start out like that.  In fact, the Mardi Gras celebration came from ancient Rome.  It began as the Lupercalia festival that was designed to honor the god of fertility and the god of agriculture.  Through the years the tradition of eating, drinking, and celebrating in late February has evolved into the Mardi Gras festival that we know today.  However, no Mardi Gras celebration is complete without the proper supplies.

So remember, you have lots of costume options this Mardi Gras…Whether you are looking to dress up in a king costume for Fat Tuesday, prefer a mysterious Venetian mask, or a sexy jester costume for the ladies (or an evil jester costume for the fellas), you will be the king or the belle of the masquerade ball.  If you are looking for an alternative Mardi Gras costume, you can go with a princess costume, a victorian dress, animal costumes, Renaissance clothing, tinkerbell costumes, masquerade fancy dress, indian costumes, and even a flapper costume will work with some beads.  Let your imagination run wild this “Party Gras”, have fun, eat a king cake and drink a hurricane, and above all be safe.
