Bourbon Street party:

Recreate the spirit of the New Orleans parade with balloons and inflatable dolls of all colors and designs resembling the Bourbon Street characters. For instance, the Hydra, Medusa, the Unicorn, the Sphinx, Metamorphosis and the likes.

Fancy dress party:

The idea is to stress on the costumes which must be of bright colors and impressive designs to liven up the carnival spirit. The costumes can be of any characters from the fairy tales to the latest comic strips, from circus party performers to lively flamenco dancers.

Also you can serve each of the invitees a Mardi Gras cap with various carnival characters taped on each of them. You can provide them with masks, or, ask them to come with one.

Have colorful streamers, party poppers, masks and paper-hats in plenty. Keep scissors, glue, tapes, rolls colored strings, ribbons, colored papers and a stair-case ladder (not recommended for those below 15)to hang up the decor items.

*Put up streamers, banners and balloons printed with "Happy Mardi Gras" messages.

*Hang colorful paper ribbons across the walls or the ceiling.

*Giant props are always fun. For the same reason, when things are ten times bigger than they should be, people derive the fun from them.

*Glue various trinkets in abundance across the room and on the dinner or buffet tables.

*Catch up the Carnival parade mood. Hang them each by a string wherever you like.

*Also have balloons - purple, green and gold. Fasten them up together in groups of three or more using wire or tape or whatever, and hang them freely. Get a collection of various masks. From dragons and monsters to divines and fairies, beasts and pirates to circus clowns.

*Also you can use print out characters or images related to Mardi Gras celebration. Cut them out, and attach them to the straw hats by making slits at the top and bottom with scissors. Or, tape them to paper cups, place cards, balloons, or banners. Or you can use stickers. Fix them on to paper cups, place cards, balloons, or banners.

*Lastly be particular about the ambience so that it moves in perfect harmony with the mood of the party.

While decoration is the first step to tone up the right mood of the theme, much of its implications lie in the activities.
