The Mardi Gras costumes and the entire week leading up to Lent is quite the show.

Give Me the Beads
Bring on the parties, parades and more or be like me and just post a Mardi Gras 2025 meme and enjoy the fun by watching online. No shame in my game and this keeps me out of trouble.

If you are in New Orleans or anywhere that throws a good Mardi Gras parade and party, you may wake up feeling like you have died.

Say a little prayer to sweet baby Jesus for that liver to have strength.

Here is something that I have never understood. Even when I was young, careless and free – the thought of flashing someone for beads was never appealing.

Especially when you can buy Mardi Gras beads in bulk on Amazon. But what do I know, enjoy these Mardi Gras beads memes.

The first recorded account of a Mardi Gras throw was in 1870. You know what season is right after Mardi Gras, right? LENT!

I saw what you did for those Mardi Gras beads.

In 1781, reports of the Mardi Gras Carnival appears. By the late 1830s, New Orleans held street processions of maskers with carriages and horseback riders.
Mardi Gras King Cake Memes
The real treasure of the Mardi Gras celebration is the King Cake! You know, that delicious cinnamon flavored cake that is decorated in green, gold and purple sugar icing? The best part, the plastic baby that is cooked into the King Cake.

Weird? Yes, but the tale goes – if you find the plastic baby in your King Cake slice – it is a symbol of luck or prosperity.

Who couldn’t use a little luck? Read more about King Cakes at Country Living. Whoever gets the slice of King Cake with a baby is crowned “king” or “queen”. (And while this is hilarious, we are totally team Harry and Megan. Or should we say H and M.)
