First of all, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sequins<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are always a good idea, but here are a couple of other ways to set the masquerade mood with your decorations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Add Glamour<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A classic <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chandelier<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (or, better yet, a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">candelabra<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) will add instant sparkle to your party. But if your venue (or budget) isn\u2019t <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chandelier<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-level, there\u2019s a simpler way to add some shine. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drape<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> glittery garland around the room, fill your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">centerpieces<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">confetti<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and go for gold cutlery (even if it\u2019s just plasticware). Little touches like these will set a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">glam<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tone without breaking the bank.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Include a Photo Booth<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo booths<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are always a draw at any party. If you can\u2019t afford to hire a professional <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">photo booth<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> company, it\u2019s easy to set up a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DIY<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> version. Just find an empty wall, hang a shimmery backdrop (think <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sequin<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fabric or gold <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">streamers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), and let people take pics with their own cameras. To make the photos extra fun, add <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">photo booth<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> props that suit your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">masquerade theme<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to your list of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">party supplies<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Masquerade Ball Food and Drinks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17271\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/different-appetizers-on-a-table.jpg\" alt=\"Masquerade party ideas: different appetizers on a table\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/different-appetizers-on-a-table.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/different-appetizers-on-a-table-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/different-appetizers-on-a-table-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food and drinks are central to any<\/span><strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/event-planning\">party planning<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and your masquerade celebration is no exception. Here are some pro tips for hosting a most delectable event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Appetizers<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t need a full buffet spread or a sit-down meal for an elegant f\u00eate. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finger foods<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and canap\u00e9s are a fun way to keep the party going since guests won\u2019t have to stop and eat. Put together a few bites that guests can grab as they circulate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a traditional Venetian masquerade, try a northern Italian dish like<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatitalianchefs.com\/recipes\/baccala-mantecato-recipe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>creamy cod on toasted polenta<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great Gatsby-<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">inspired gathering, oysters on the half-shell are a great idea, while you can scare up some delicious<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/halloween-party-food\"><strong>Halloween<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> party food<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for an All Hallows\u2019 Eve-themed affair.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Main Course\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re having a sit-down meal, let guests know on your invitations that dinner will be served. Again, look to your theme for menu inspiration. For a holiday party, have turkey and cranberry sauce. For a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mardi Gras party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, choose Cajun classics. For a black-tie affair, serve an elegant multi-course meal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dessert<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re serving a full meal or a variety of appetizers, you can\u2019t go wrong with bite-sized desserts and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sweet treats<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They offer a lovely finish without giving guests an extreme sugar rush. Mini <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cupcakes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, cookies, and other single-serve desserts are always welcome, and they\u2019re even better if they match your party theme.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also choose a themed dessert like a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/recipe\/8144\/mardi-gras-king-cake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>king cake<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mardi Gras<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebossykitchen.com\/charlotte-russe-cake-classic-european-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Charlotte Russe<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> cake for a Gatsby party, or a pumpkin pie for the holidays.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Drinks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, it\u2019s not a party without a few libations. Be sure to have plenty of bubbly on ice (and sparkling cider for those who want to celebrate alcohol-free). You can also consider themed drinks, such as a<\/span>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/gallery\/mardi-gras-booze-drinks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hurricane cocktail<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mardi Gras<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> soiree, a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">French<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 75 for your black-tie event, or some spiked eggnog for a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Christmas<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> masquerade.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Our Favorite Masquerade Party Invitations\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you have visions of your party dancing in your head, it\u2019s time to create the guest list and send your invites.
