Mardi Gras- Sweet 16?

Question

For my sweet sixteen im thinking about doing a Mardi Gras theme.. Any ideas on decorations or party favors or anything??

Answer 1

For mardi gras themed sweet sixteen, I would use the mardi gras colors, which are green, yellow, and purple. I would get streamers, balloons, ect. and a whole bunch of other decorations.Check out party city of factory card and party outlet, they have mardi gras themed decorations!

Answer 2

This party is going to be sooo simple to do. Go to Party City and look at their decorations. Look at these sites for decoration ideas, Some are quite inexpensive, some are quite elaborate, and expensive. Search any food site, such as www.foodnetwork.com for food ideas. I'm a party planner and have done 4 Mardi Gras dances, They were the most fun parties I've ever done. Don't forget to have a balloon drop. Everyone seems to love it.

I had my Sweet 16 back in June with two of my best friends - our birthdays are all within a month of each other - and we had a Ceilidh. That's just a party with a mixture of Scottish dances; it maybe sounds boring but EVERYONE loved it! It was amazing as everyone was up on the floor for every song - we had a local ceilidh band playing live. Also, instead of getting presents we collected money for Cancer Research UK and managed to raise £926.75! Basically, what I'm saying is that sometimes having a good old fashioned get together without any fancy themes is all you need: you have no idea how stressful it is for others to find an outfit to fit your theme. Good luck, and hope you have fun in April. :D

King Cake Recipe Courtesy of Emeril Lagasse
Show: The Essence of Emeril
Episode: Yeast Breads





1/2 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
2 packages dry yeast
2 teaspoons sugar
4 to 5 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/2 cup warm milk (105 to 115 degrees)
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, cooled
5 egg yolks
1/2 cup finely chopped candied citron
1 pecan half, uncooked dried bean or King Cake Baby
Glaze:
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
Purple, green and gold sugar crystals

Preheat the oven 350 degrees. Combine the warm water, yeast and 2 teaspoons sugar in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside to a warm place for about 10 minutes. Combine the 4 cups of flour, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, nutmeg, lemon rind and add warm milk, melted butter, egg yolks and yeast mixture. Beat until smooth. Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Continue kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes). Place the dough in a well-greased bowl. Turn once so greased surface is on top.
Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk (about 1 1/2 hours). Punch the dough down and place on a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle with the citron and knead until the citron is evenly distributed. Shape the dough into a cylinder, about 30 inches long. Place the cylinder on a buttered baking sheet. Shape into a ring, pinching ends together to seal. Place a well-greased 2-pound coffee can or shortening can in the center of the ring to maintain shape during baking. Press the King Cake Baby, pecan half or dried bean into the ring from the bottom so that it is completely hidden by the dough. Cover the ring with a towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the coffee can immediately. Allow the cake to cool. For the glaze: Combine the ingredients and beat until smooth. To assemble, drizzle cake with the glaze. Sprinkle with sugar crystals, alternating colors. Cut into the cake and hope you do not get the baby

hope this helps!
