Here’s what I’m ordering off amazon to make (hopefully) the cutest stinking mardi gras balloon garland you’ve ever seen. I’ll share pictures in a future post after the party!
Mardi Gras is all about vibrant colors, festive vibes, and a dash of over-the-top decor—so when my sister-in-law announced she’s having a baby, we knew the perfect party theme: “She Got the Baby!”
Combining Mardi Gras flair with baby shower charm is the ultimate recipe for a show-stopping celebration here in South Mississippi. And, as a family member, I’m going all out to make sure the decor is top-notch, starting with an epic Mardi Gras balloon garland.
Essential Supplies for Your Mardi Gras Balloon Garland
Here’s everything you need to bring this festive garland to life, all conveniently linked for easy shopping:
- Gold Mask Balloons for that classic Mardi Gras elegance.
- Mardi Gras Decor Mask Balloons to add a whimsical, carnival touch.
- Fleur de Lis Balloons for a nod to traditional New Orleans style.
- Gold Quick Links for building structure and dimension in your garland.
- Double Stuffed Purple Balloons for a rich, vibrant color.
- Mardi Gras Hearts to add a sweet baby shower element.
- Double Stuffed Green Balloons for a lush, festive vibe.
- Gold Star Mylar Balloons to give your garland a touch of sparkle and shine.
- Baby balloon to add a touch of baby shower elements to the garland
Tips for Creating a Stunning Balloon Garland
- Start with a Strong Base: Use gold quick links to create the framework of your garland. This helps you achieve a full, polished look.
- Layer Vibrant Colors: Alternate green, purple, and gold balloons (Mardi Gras staples) to add depth and dimension.
- Add Statement Pieces: Incorporate fleur de lis and mask balloons as focal points. These decorative touches will tie the theme together.
- Play with Shapes: Mylar stars and heart-shaped balloons bring variety and make your garland pop (literally and figuratively).
- Stretch for Longevity: Overinflate and deflate your latex balloons before building the garland to make them last longer.
Alternative Balloon Options
While I’ve linked Amazon items for convenience, you can also check out premium options from Tuftex or Qualatex for a broader range of colors and finishes. Their latex balloons often have a high-quality sheen that can elevate your design even further. I opted for double stuffed garlands on amazon to get the same quality at an easy to ship discount.
Final Touches
To really make the “She Got the Baby!” theme stand out, consider incorporating other Mardi Gras elements like beads, mini king cakes, or even a hidden baby figurine in the decor. It’s all about blending tradition with celebration—and a touch of family love.
This balloon garland will set the stage for a party that’s as unforgettable as the news we’re celebrating. Let’s make it a Mardi Gras to remember!
