Forum novelties brings you fun all year long, like this mardi gras accessory that adds to the celebration whether you’re in new orleans or not. The traditional colors of mardi gras are purple (symbolic of justice), green (symbolic of faith) and gold (symbolic of power). Mardi gras is celebrated not only in new orleans, but also in the neighboring gulf coast region and numerous cities and towns in louisiana and around the country. Similar celebrations are also held in the brazilian city of rio de janeiro. Regardless of where the festivals take place, however, all share a celebratory atmosphere. To new orleanians, mardi gras specifically refers to fat tuesday, the tuesday before lent and the highlight of the season. For party invitations and celebrations elsewhere, mardi gras can also be used less specifically the whole carnival season. Check out forum novelties’ wide selection of fun and festive party costumes and accessories. You’ll have more fun with forum!

I was a little worried because of a few of the negative reviews, but don’t worry, this mask is really nice. For $15.53 including shipping, you get a well made, molded comfortable green velvet mask with nice feathers (YES mine had 2 peacock feathers, like the photo), with a unique way to keep it on your head. The head band is a ton better than most masks that have the elastic bands or ties, better for saving your hairstyle! I got it for a salsa social with a Mardi Gras theme, so it’s good the feathers are not too high to get in the way when I am spinning. The **only** thing that is negative for me is that it does cover a lot of the upper half of the face, and it is a well made velvet mask, which means that I’m going to get really sweaty after dancing salsa and it’s a 4 hr party! but for the rest of you who aren’t going to be dancing in it, this is a really nice elegant mask at a great price!

I have a small face(woman) so it does warp around too far for my liking but the fit on my head is surprisingly more comfortable than an elastic band to feel tight and mess up my hair too. It was packaged very carefully and securely, no feathers loos or broken as i some other reviews for this mask and others that I looked at when deciding on this one. My only wish is that I could get the feather that turns into my chin could be turned away and more outward, alway from tickling distance from my throat. Guess I will just keep my head forward or only turn to the right ;)All thinks considered, this seems like the best mask for ht price, it is well made, looks to be more expensive than it is, and I think it will be comfortable for extended wear.

This is beautiful. I didn’t get a chance to use it this year but it would have cost too much to return as I didn’t realize I would have to pay for return shipping. I’ll keep it in hopes to use in the future or give it to someone who can.

Mask arrived early and it’s good quality. I added a rhinestone brooch to it just to make it a little more glitzy.Rather than elastic going around your head, you wear it with a plastic headband which feels okay now but I’ll see Friday night (Gator By The Bay).There are black & purple plume type feathers on one side that are cute but I’m going to add a couple bigger ones to it.It’s worth the money!

I was invited to a Mardi Gras birthday party. This mask is very nice. It is high quality and the built-in headband is great. Where are you? Can just lift the mask over your head without completely removing it.

I liked the mask. I would have loved it but the piece in the front covers your mouth and it would have drove me crazy so I didn’t wear the mask. However, it is a beautiful mask and if you don’t mind that then buy it!
