And when most people think Mardi Gras, they think beads, so you have to get your hands on a few to truly set the tone of the night. You can even grab the smaller ones that you can stack together. A mask is a must have and it is the perfect complement to any outfit on Fat Tuesday.
Sometimes, you may even be able to find some at the Dollar Tree for a great deal. Remember ladies, improvisation is the key to put together an affordable Mardi Gras at-home style!

The traffic is a nightmare, and roads blocked because of the various parades throughout the day.
Whether you are wearing boots or sandals, ensure they are comfortable to walk in for long periods. Your shoes may end up getting dirty by the end of the day. You won't be able to enjoy the parade and other celebrations in high heels because your feet will scream bloody murder.
