FREE Mardi Gras Printables

Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday when the 40 days of Lent begins that ends at Easter) when everyone, especially in New Orleans, loves putting on their masks, getting into costumes, and wearing their Mardi gras beads.

If you are planning a party (possibly a masquerade party for your guests), before or after an iconic Mardi Gras parade, these printables are just what you need.

Not only are they an inexpensive party decoration, but they are also really easy to put together.

Party Tip: If you want to set the vibe of Bourbon Street, hire a brass band to play jazz at your party (or use Spotify). Decorate in official Mardi Gras colors of purple, green, and yellow. And purchase feathered masks for your guest list.
