Festive masquerade masks create a fun atmosphere from the start of your celebration. Try different kinds of masks for your guests. Below are paper mache, feather and venetian-style masks.
Mardi Gras beads come in a huge variety of styles and designs.These specialty beads featuring Fleur de Lis, hurricane cocktails and Louisiana are just a few! Choose one of these Mardi Gras motifs for your wedding and use it for your favors and goody bags.
Louisiana souvenir packets like this one provide a little taste of Cajun culture along with local folk legends. This Cajun Survival Kit includes a sampling of Spanish moss, red beans, crawfish, Tabasco and much more.
