Floats and flambeaux, colorful beads (hope for vintage glass ones!) and coconut throws, king cakes and beignets. Though Mardi Gras — aka Carnival or Carnaval — has Roman Catholic ties, the blissfully gaudy holiday dates back thousands of years to pre-Christian pagan celebrations.
Over a month after the Carnival season commences (Three Kings Day), the highly-anticipated Fat Tuesday — or Shrove Tuesday — is honored the day before the religious season of Lent kicks off. It’s a time where people indulge in drinking and eating (lots of meat, dirty rice, and pancakes) prior to the ritual fasting.
Whether you’re participating in the gluttonous last hurrah in New Orleans, Rio de Janeiro, or on living room couch, you’ll surely want festive Instagram captions to decorate your green, purple, and gold-hued Mardi Gras photos. From cutesy bead- and food-related captions to influential quotes, pick from our list of Mardi Gras-themed social media inscriptions. Laissez les bons temps rouler!
