Mardi Gras Themed Super Bowl Party

Super Bowl Sunday is a whole lot more fun when your team is playing.

This year, of course, none of my favorites were(Panthers/Saints).

 Despite that fact, we had a Super Bowl Party!

Giving we weren't into either of the teams I decided we would make it a Mardi Gras themed Super Bowl Bash!

Beer, Beads and Super Bowl!

 

Of course, I did a tablescape!

As I mentioned last week, my co-worker brought me a whole boat load of beads and several feather masks.

From there I took the ribbon I bought for 70% off and used linens I already had and went to town!

I made a sign for the table too using Paperless Post that my blogger b/f/f, I Do Declare, introduced me to during the holidays.

The food was amazing as to be expected.

Along, with our neighbors LeAne and Keith, we made some food and then had some of our guests bring items too.

Our friends Katie and Josh made homemade Cajun turkey meatballs.

These were delish!

We had drinks!
Since it was a work night we didn't do hurricanes after all.

Just wine and beer.

I used one of my decorative wine bottles in the bar area.

Back to the food.

LeAne made fried macaroni and cheese!

Another friend brought chicken buffalo dip.

Baked potato dip with waffle fries!

Brad smoked wings..

And, LeAne's husband Keith made ribs!

There was a ton of yummy food!

No party is complete without a few favors for the guests.

I made Fleur de lis cookies and LeAne made football shaped cake pops.

We'll both be posting about these tomorrow.

More, LeAne, who's a bakerella, with a tutorial on how to make these cute pops!

I had tons of Abita Purple Haze on hand for the party.
If you've never tried one, you should run to your nearest store and get some right away!

Aside from the Abita beer from Louisiana, I also had a King Cake shipped in from Haydel's Bakery in New Orleans.
A majority of our guests had never had one before.

Delicious as well!
I brought the half left over to work.

A good time for sure!

Everyone stayed way past the halftime show!

Thanks to my new b/f/f neighbor LeAne for all of her help!
We had a lot of fun baking and decorating together and are looking forward to our next event!

I'm sure it won't be as much fun as the Mardi Gras theme but we can try!

Brad and LeAne's husband Keith had a blast as well, smoking up the meat all weekend.
At times, maybe even a little too much fun!

HA!

Thanks to everyone who came!

And, CONGRATS to the New York Giants on their big win!

It was quite a game!

Down to the very end!

Happy Monday! and Happy Mardi Gras!

The season officially kicked off this weekend!

Perfect timing for our party!
