Festive & Fun Mardi Gras Decorations for Home in 2025

For easy favors, the Beistle Masks with Beads pack gives you 48 necklace-and-mask combos in classic purple, green, and gold. During our review, the 33-inch length made them comfortable to wear and perfect for tossing to guests, and the attached masks create instant photo props. The trade-off is budget materials—plastic beads and printed foam that can bend or crease if stuffed in a bag. Our experience shows they shine for one-time events, but they can’t be restrung or repurposed.

These Beistle masks are an easy crowd-pleaser for handing out at parties, with classic purple, green, and gold and a quick elastic band. In our testing, the 12-pack made it simple to outfit a group for photos or a parade line, and the one-size design fit most adults. That said, not everyone gets a snug fit—consider a bit of tape or extra elastic for smaller faces. With limited customer reviews online, our experience suggests they’re best as festive favors rather than long-wear costume pieces.

If you’re stocking a parade route or community bash, this 1,000-piece bead set is the easiest way to keep tosses flowing. In our experience, the tri-color strands nail the classic Mardi Gras look at a low per-piece cost, though some arrive tangled and a few may break. Plan extra time to separate bundles and keep spare necklaces handy. For safety and hygiene, avoid giving beads to young children and set out a sanitizing station for shared accessories.

Looking for affordable group masks? This 12-pack from Beistle brings the purple, green, and gold flair, and in our testing both elastic and stick-style options (varies by SKU) made outfitting guests easy. Expect lightweight plastic and faux feathers—fun for photos, but our experience shows some glitter and feather shedding with handling. The one-size design can need a little adjusting for comfort, so keep extra elastic or foam pads on hand if you’re wearing them for more than a quick selfie.

If you need volume, 4E’s Novelty’s 100-piece bead assortment covers a crowd in classic purple, green, and gold. In our testing, the lightweight plastic strands were comfortable for long wear and easy to hand out quickly at the door. The metallic coating can scuff and lose some shine after a few tosses, and small parts mean they’re not ideal around young children. Price per bead isn’t the lowest, but the bulk count and convenience make party planning painless.

Cap off your décor with a personalized touch: this nylon-reinforced vinyl banner feels heavy-duty and is rated water- and fire-resistant for outdoor use up to 24 months. During our review, the print looked crisp and the three customizable text lines offered enough space for party names or dates. Watch for character limits—apostrophes reportedly aren’t allowed—and the 52-by-17-inch size runs narrow for large floats. Our advice: confirm customization details and what’s included before ordering to avoid surprises.

Transform a blank wall into Bourbon Street vibes with this 4' x 30' Beistle backdrop. In our setup tests, the lightweight plastic hung quickly with painter’s tape and created an immersive photo area for guests. The thin material can tear if tugged, and colors may vary by lighting, so handle gently and test your mounting surfaces; outdoors may require extra fasteners. We found rolling for storage prevents creases and keeps it party-ready for your next celebration.

Add instant curb appeal with Beistle’s fabric bunting in classic purple, green, and gold. During our review, the built-in grommets made hanging along a porch rail quick, and the indoor/outdoor design worked equally well on mantels and parade floats. The length is modest, so our experience shows buying multiples helps span wider porches, and color can fade with prolonged sun exposure. Note that some listings carry a California Prop 65 lead warning—use at your discretion, especially for long-term outdoor display.

This Gleam ’N Burst centerpiece adds instant shimmer in purple, green, and gold without overwhelming the table. In our testing, the 15-inch height kept sightlines clear and the weighted base stayed put on busy buffet setups. The trade-off is delicate construction—metallic foil and thin wire stems can bend or tear, and adult assembly takes a few minutes to fluff everything into shape. Our experience shows gentle handling and pre-arranging before guests arrive yields the best, full-looking display.

Planning a big spread? The Beistle Mardi Gras Beads tablecover delivers instant color and easy cleanup, and in our testing the 54" x 108" size draped a standard banquet table with a nice overhang. Multi-pack options are handy for covering food and drink stations, but the thin plastic can tear if dragged across rough edges. We found packaging creases show at first—letting it relax or gently warming helps, and since it’s single-use, eco-minded hosts may prefer a reusable cloth underneath.

Planning a Mardi Gras spread? In our testing, the Repurpose Compostables 9-inch plates felt sturdier and heavier-duty than typical paper options. They’re made from plant-based upcycled materials, certified commercially compostable, and microwave/freezer-safe for reheats and leftovers. Just note very hot, moist dishes—like saucy pasta or jambalaya—can cause delamination or sogginess, so consider a liner for wet foods. Our experience shows you’ll get eco-minded convenience, but optimal breakdown usually requires access to a commercial composting facility.

These Amscan Fleur de Lis 9-inch paper plates bring the classic purple, green, and gold vibe to any spread. In our testing, the bold design instantly tied together beads, masks, and banners, and the 18-count multi-pack covered a small gathering for desserts and light bites. They’re fine for cupcakes, king cake, and finger foods, but our experience shows heavier or saucy dishes can stress the paper—double-plate or use a charger. Since they’re single-use, plan on buying extra packs for larger parties.

Kick off the celebration at your front door with this 20-inch Mardi Gras wreath in vibrant purple, green, and gold tinsel. During our review, the wired tips made it simple to add ribbons, masks, or a welcome sign, and the size fit standard doors without crowding. Up close the metallic tinsel can look a bit thin, and it’s not pre-lit—adding a small LED strand helps. Our experience shows it lasts longer on a covered porch, away from rain and snow.

For outdoor parties, these Govee RGBICW string lights deliver vibrant, segmented color effects and bright output that screamed Mardi Gras in our testing. They integrate with Alexa, Google, and Matter, so voice control and automations are easy wins. Our experience shows setup takes patience—the app’s segmenting can be confusing—and some users report durability issues, including water collecting in bulb housings. To help them last, we recommend installing under eaves, adding drip loops, and checking seals after storms.

For high-impact Mardi Gras lighting, Nanoleaf’s outdoor string lights nail the purple, green, and gold hues with accurate color and individually addressable bulbs for gradients and music effects. In our testing, the IP65/IP67-rated hardware handled the elements, though brightness is gentler than traditional bulbs. Connectivity was occasionally flaky with Matter/HomeKit, and a reset or two solved reachability issues. Our experience shows careful cable routing and drip loops help mitigate reported water ingress, and installing under covered eaves boosts long-term reliability.

For icy cocktails and cold brews, the Ball Aluminum Cup kept drinks noticeably colder than plastic in our testing, and it’s widely marketed as fully recyclable. It’s lightweight yet tougher than standard party cups, making it great for rowdy dance floors. We found pack sizes and pricing can vary by listing, and while some call it disposable, the cups can be reused—hand wash to maximize life, as dishwashers may shorten it. Mark cups to reduce waste and keep the bar line moving.

Nothing sets the tone faster than this Mardi Gras Ball Wreath’s classic purple, green, and gold palette. During our review, the 16-inch size proved perfect for most doors—lightweight plastic ornaments make it easy to hang. The plastic finish isn’t as premium as glass, and it’s best for indoor or covered areas to avoid weather wear. If the $58.50 price gives you pause, we found adding ribbon or feathers elevates the look without busting your budget.
