Feeling lucky?<\/p>\n\n\n
We’ve got some great casino theme party ideas for you. Number one on our list?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get your guests in the mood with the real deal: set up a couple of real gaming stations.<\/b> And, nope, you don’t have to rent fancy shmancy equipment to do this (unless you want to). Read on for our DIY casino theme party ideas…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set up several tables as gaming stations (how many tables will depend on the number of guests): one for poker, one for blackjack and one for craps. Red, black and white are the usual theme colors for a casino theme party, so keep them in mind as you choose your tablecloths and decorations. If you can hire dealers for your tables, fabulous. If not, ask a couple of card-playing friends to help you out (in their fanciest attire, of course).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can make your own craps table<\/b> with artist’s stretcher strips, a piece of plywood and some green felt. Put it all together with an industrial strength staple gun and a bit of glue and you’re ready to roll (I know, bad pun).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, this is one of our favorite casino theme party ideas \u2014a make-it-yourself personalized wheel of fortune!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s our spin on the idea (sheesh, make me stop!): customize the wheel with your own prizes and make them all about the guest of honor<\/b>. And don’t forget to have some fun at the honoree’s expense (c’mon, just a little bit) and throw some gag gifts in there too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some prizes to get you started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We could go on and on, but you get the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hang on, we have one. It’s the birthday cake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You’ll need a large round cake for this project. A couple of 9-inch cake pans will work fine, but if you need to feed a lot of people, or if you want a larger cake for decorating purposes, consider investing in a 16- or 18-inch half round cake pan. These pans are deep (3 inches) and you only bake one at a time so they easily fit in a residential size oven. When both halves are done and cooled, just push them together on a large cake board and they’re ready to be frosted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After you’ve frosted the cake and decorated it (marshmallow fondant icing would be a good \u2014and easy\u2014 choice for this cake), add a marble on top and you’re done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arrange a centerpiece of red and white flowers and place smaller glass vases with flowers all around the room. Fill the bottom of the vases with quarters, nickels, dimes, pennies and\/or poker chips instead of glass beads. Scatter them around the vases as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Find playing cards with solid red or black backs and use them as place cards. Simply write each guest’s name on the back using a paint pen and place each card on a plain white plate. Very elegant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Personalized playing cards, of course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can find stores online that will customize decks of cards for you. How fun to see the birthday guy or gal’s photo on the back of a deck of cards! Add a funny saying if you’re celebrating a milestone birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hope you found enough casino theme party ideas to get your party off to a great start (oh, and good luck)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
