Mardi Gras Themed 3rd Birthday Party
/Laissez les bons temps rouler! This popular Cajun French phrase in New Orleans means “let the good times roll” and good times were had at this Mardi Gras themed 3rd birthday party!
When your birthday falls on Fat Tuesday, you celebrate with delicious food and drinks, fun games and giveaways, and a special appearance from New Orleans’ favorite frog princess.
The main attraction at this toddler-friendly party was the white castle-and-slide-combo bounce house adorned with a custom balloon garland in purples, greens, and golds. In addition to being a gorgeous addition to any outdoor party, the open front allows caregivers to supervise the little acrobats while socializing nearby.
For the young (and the young-at-heart) guests, the party entertainment also included a photo booth, a tarot card reader, and a visit from a princess who sang songs, made balloon animals, read stories, and played games.
Colorful linens, gold chiavari chairs, tall feather centerpieces, a variety of Mardi Gras beads, and gold balloons spelling out “Mable Gras” tied together all of the décor at this indoor/outdoor celebration. Guests were provided custom face masks, custom tumblers (similar to what you see thrown from Mardi Gras floats), and temporary tattoos with the birthday girl’s face.
No Mardi Gras party would be complete without an abundance of yummy food and drinks! The plentiful spread included favorites like bourbon chicken, shrimp po’ boys, traditional king cake, and beignets topped with powdered sugar. A custom cake and dessert table provided the perfect end to a delicious meal.
For many of the guests, this was the first in-person gathering in two years, making this truly a celebration to remember. Below is the full gallery of our party; thank you to our vendors for making this birthday special.
