In celebration of Mardi Gras, which falls on February 12th this year, host a Mardi Gras themed meal in your home! Make sure to begin by decorating your table in green, gold and purple, the traditional colors of the holiday and purchase colored beads for all of your guests to wear. If you’re feeling super creative, purchase feathers, beads, sequins and plain masks that guests will be able to decorate when they arrive. Masked costume balls are traditional events held throughout Mardi Gras season!
