Mardi Gras Must Haves!

Tis the Mardi Gras season... and for those of you who aren't able to watch a live parade on the coast, here are a few things you could do to make your Mardi Gras party just as hoppin' and authentic!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7

1 - Beads are a must have. Toomey's has a great selection online if you can't get down to the coast to catch them for yourself!  {This is where the carnies buy their stuff!}

2 - This adorable printable will brighten any table or wall for the season! 

3 - A bright festive wreath is a must. The louder the better!! 

4 - Adding a festive sugar rim to your glass works for kids and adults.

5 - You can't have a mardi gras party without Zapps. Voodoo are the bomb. {Did I day bomb? Yes, they are that good, I promise.} 

6 - The traditional King Cake is always SO yummy hot and fresh from a local bakery, but not to fret - Emeril has a great recipe for those of you who can't pop into your local bakery for one. 

7 - These adorable cupcakes are another fun idea for party treats! 

I am lucky enough to get to spend some time at the Boom Boom this weekend with the fam. I can almost taste the King Cake it's so close!!! However, I will be bringing back the party for a fun gathering next Tuesday here in Lex for the hubs! Hope you are able to do a lil celebrating yourself.
