Get all of those beads ready, because Mardi Gras is not canceled this year! Check out this checklist for a Mardi Gras virtual party to remember.
We want to help you get everything ready for your festive party, that is why we made this ultimate checklist.
A party is not a party without decorations. Instead of decking out your entire home for the celebration, you can scale it down to what others will see on a screen. There are many backdrops you can buy. Or, you can create your own! Just don’t forget the purple, green, and gold.
You cannot have Mardi Gras without a king cake. It is a tradition to have it every year. While you cannot share it with your group, you can still ask them to prepare their own slice. There are many grocery stores or bakeries that you can purchase a king cake from, or you can make your own. For a quick and easy to follow recipe, check out this one from Betty Crocker. And, don’t forget about the baby!
We all recognize Mardi Gras with the beads. These beads symbolize justice, faith, and power. But in general, they are used to pumping up the party and giving crowds prizes. However, the beads for your virtual party work well as decorations or even wardrobe accessories.
Bring some more fun to your party with games. Luckily, there are still many fun games that can happen through video chat. For example, you can have a Mardi Gras trivia game, a mask-making contest, Mardi Gras Bingo, or even a costume contest. You can even incorporate other games that are not necessarily Mardi Gras-themed. Go with what works best with your group of guests.
Every Mardi Gras needs creole food. So bring out the gumbo, jambalaya, and more. When doing this, you do not have to cook large portions. Instead, cook the amount that works best for the people that live in your home. And, if you do make extras, drop some off to your closest friends or families. Who doesn’t love free home cooked meals?
Even though you cannot party hard on Bourbon Street, that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy this indulgent holiday. By following these tips above, you will have a successful and fun Mardi Gras virtual party.
