Mardi Gras invitations: party, masquerade ball, crawfish boil

Printable invitation cards for a Fat Tuesday party, a masquerade ball or a crawfish boil. Each card carries the event's name lettered in full and an empty panel where the host writes the date, time and place. Purple, green and gold run through three looks: gilded art deco, bold folk art and soft watercolour. Type a different event or theme, such as a kids party, and the card letters it in the same layout.

• a Fat Tuesday party for friends
• a masquerade ball or costume party
• a crawfish boil with neighbours
• a kids' Mardi Gras party

Frequently asked questions

Can I print the details on the card?

The panel is left empty so you can write the date, time and place by hand after printing.

What size is the card?

Each card is a portrait page with an even margin, ready to print on standard paper and trim.

Is the event name spelled correctly?

Each card letters the event name as set on the sheet. If you type a different name, check the spelling on the printed card before sending it.

What is the difference between the three looks?

Gilded deco has gold ornament on deep purple. Folk art has flat purple, green and gold shapes on cream. Watercolour has soft washes on warm white.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
