Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez – Let the Good Times Roll – Unknown
Mardi Gras means Fat Tuesday and signifies the time to eat heartily before the Lenten season. It has also evolved into a time to party, dance and listen to good music. Mardi Gras captures the imagination of a fun party atmosphere with plenty of food and having good time with friends. You can bring that same joy and energy to your wedding by doing some simple things or you can go all out.
Colored Mardi Gras beads and masks can be used to decorate your reception tables and other parts of your reception venue. You can also give the beads and sequined masks as favors to your guests as well as create interesting reception games based on them. A few carefully placed metallic ribbon curtains and large decorative masks can also be used to give that New Orleans French Quarter feel.
Music is big in the Big Easy so bring that to your wedding with a Dixieland band or at least a few key instrumentalists like a trumpeter and saxophonist. You can swing down the aisle to “When the Saints go Marching In” and dance at your reception to tunes like “Mardi Gras Mambo” and “Bourbon Street Parade”
