Before you begin mailing out your http://www.express-invitations.com/holiday-invitations/mardi-gras-invitations.php Mardi Gras Invitations, you should keep in mind the meaning of the event. The term is French for "Fat Tuesday." The reason for the name deals with its proximity to Ash Wednesday - it always takes place on the Tuesday prior. Most historians think the origin of the event can be traced back to a few pagan customs that included the parading of a fat ox down the streets of town. As part of the event, people would celebrate with feasting and drinking. Right afterward, they would have to experience a time of fasting. You'll also find some examples of wording ideas that will help you prepare for the big event.
