Ever heard of HouseParty.com? It’s a website that connects people with companies wanting to promote their products. You fill out a profile and then apply to host parties for companies that fit your interests. On a designated day people all over the country have parties for that product/company. I was chosen to host a Mardi Gras party by Zatarain’s. They are sending me a bunch of their products, coupons, and some party decorations.
As it so happens, Mardi Gras falls on Bunco night. I traded months so that I can host a Mardi Gras Bunco night. However, I need some ideas. Zatarain’s laid out the menu, so I have some great food planned. They are also sending some masks and beads. I want to have some special touches, but I have never thrown or been to anything remotely Mardi Gras.
I know the colors are gold, purple, and green. I got a baby to put in a cake, but that’s about it. As you can tell from the title of this post, I have put together that the Mardi Gras motto of “Let the Good Times Roll” will perfectly match up for a Bunco night.
Enough rambling. I’d love to hear your ideas or inspiration for all things Mardi Gras.
Please and Thank you!!!

You need to order or bake a king cake. You can’t just put a baby into any cake. There’s plenty of Mardi Gras music that would be fun for the party. For drinks you need to serve hurricanes or bloody marys.
Mostly Mardi Gras is about going to parades & drinking or going to mardi gras krewe balls & drinking.
