For invitations, I will be sending out personilized masks/top hats. I will also have "party favors" such as Mardi Gras beads, tamborines and glow necklaces. I am also on a tight budget so ideas for inexpensive food/refreshments would also be appreciated.

You have to have a "King Cake" - the one with purple, green and gold sugars and a small plastic baby hidden inside for a prize. You can get these at many bakeries and also on line.
You could serve "Po-boys" (basically sub sandwiches), dirty beans and rice, jambalaya, crawfish & taters and corn on the cob boil.
You need to have some good New Orleans jazz, blues, Cajun music. Have fun!

I few years in the past i grew to become into privileged to flow to the Claiborn (sp) congregation in New Orleans and that i went out in service with them. They informed me they do no longer even flow out in service for the time of Mardi Gras via fact many human beings view it as an afternoon you're able to do something (which contains homicide) and be forgiven with a pristine sparkling slate via praying for forgiveness whilst the festivities are over. Witnesses of Jehovah would in no way take part in any such party.

Karla covered most of what I was going to say, but also get some cheap plastic hurricane glasses - available at most warehouse type stores, or party stores. Whether or not you're serving alcohol (and frankly, is it a Mardi Gras party if you aren't?!), you can make fun punch drinks!!!
