Super Bowl Party With a Mardi Gras Theme
Surprise your guests with a Mardi Gras theme for a Super Bowl party. What better ideas to throw a festival than the Super Bowl and the Mardi Gras combined. Start out with invitations that mix the fun of both the Super Bowl party and Mardi Gras. Consider a football game ticket invitation in purple, green, and gold the official colors of the Mardi Gras. You could print out the tickets using clipart to create your own unique invite. Next start getting the party supplies for the big party. Mix football and Mardi Gras. The primary event colors will be Mardi Gras colors. Check online for Mardi Gras party supplies or use an assortment of purple plates, green cups and gold napkins. Decorate with a, "Welcome to the Mardi Gras" banner on one wall and a, "Super Bowl" banner on another wall. Hang streamers and dangles from the ceiling in the Mardi Gras colors. The tablecloth can either be purple for the Mardi Gras or a football field color for the Super Bowl. If you plan more than one refreshment table try having both tableclothes. Put purple and gold pompoms on the cornerssides on the refreshment table and scatter a few more throughout the room. The guests can use them to root on their favorite Super Bowl team. Don't forget the Mardi Gras beads.
FoodChow for a Mardi Gras Themed Super Bowl celebration can reflect the flavor of the Mardi Gras. A huge bowl of shrimp gumbo would be great on a cold February day and will give the event that New Orleans flare. If you would rather go with sandwiches for the festival then try muffalettas. There are many choices so you can go as plain or complex as you'd like. A must do to end the meal is the Mardi Gras King cake.
Once all the guests have arrived, begin the party games. Super Bowl trivia is a good activity to start with. Give party favors like mini foam rubber footballs or football key chains for each correct answer. Try to pick questions reguarding not only the Super Bowl in general but the two teams that are playing this year. Try a "name that player" game, pick a position like quarterback and get the bio of quarterbacks who have played in Super Bowls, begin to read the bio and the first party goer who can guess the player wins. Give the winner a party favor and give whoever has the most right answers their own snack basket filled with goodies.
