They say you can’t buy happiness, but you can rent a margarita machine and a photobooth, and that’s basically the same thing—especially during Mardi Gras!
Whether you’re planning a backyard boil in Leander, a corporate masquerade in Austin, or a festive community gathering, bringing the spirit of the French Quarter to Texas is easier than you think. At Party On Texas, we specialize in turning “just another party” into an unforgettable experience with our concierge-level service and premium rentals.
Here is your checklist for throwing a legendary Mardi Gras celebration this year.
1. Set the Scene with the Perfect Shelter
February weather in Texas can be unpredictable. Don’t let a little rain dampen your beads! Secure a High Peak Tent to create a designated party zone. Not only does it protect your guests, but it also defines the space for your decor.
- Pro Tip: Add our Edison String Lights to create that warm, jazzy New Orleans evening vibe as the sun goes down.
2. The Life of the Party: The Photobooth
If you didn’t take a picture, did it even happen? Our Step Up and Selfie Social Sharing Photo Booth is a must-have for Mardi Gras. Guests love to dress up in masks and beads, and our booth allows them to instantly share their Boomerangs and photos to social media.
But a photobooth is only as good as its backdrop. You need something that screams “Fat Tuesday!”
Top Mardi Gras Backdrop Ideas: We have curated a stunning collection of Mardi Gras-themed backdrops to make your photos pop.
- The French Quarter Street: Transport your guests directly to Bourbon Street with a realistic street scene.
- Masquerade Magic: Go elegant with a gold, purple, and green masquerade pattern.
- Beads & Bling: A festive, colorful option that matches the energy of the parade.
3. Keep the Drinks Flowing
Nothing says Mardi Gras like a frozen drink in hand. Skip the bartender and rent a Máquina Margarita (or two!). Whether you’re serving classic lime margaritas or a purple “Hurricane” slush, our commercial-grade machines keep the drinks perfect all night long so you can focus on hosting.
4. Seating & Comfort
Even the most energetic revelers need a break from dancing. Ensure you have ample Cocktail Tables for mingling and Resin Padded Chairs for dining.
- Style Note: Dress up our tables with Purple, Green, and Gold linens to instantly theme the room without buying expensive throw-away decor.
