Casino Theme Party Ideas & Decor

Original Party Ideas are not easy to find. If you want to provide a one-of-a-kind spectacle and a night full of entertainment, choosing a Casino Theme Party will not fail.

It works for any occasion - be it a wedding, birthday, corporate event, or fundraiser. Please note that no Gambling takes place at a Casino Party, these events are for entertainment only.

Here are some party ideas for your Fun Casino event:

Equipment: Don't settle for felt layouts which are thrown over trestle tables - this is hardly Vegas style! Chips and cards should be of good quality. If your budget permits it, you could hire a local company that can provide equipment and staff for your party. Professional gaming tables and croupiers go a long way in ensuring that your event runs smoothly and add to the fun and excitement. Check that the company uses the full-size 32-inch diameter Roulette wheel, anything less will look like a toy and will detract from your guests' Casino experience. Just as importantly, ensure that the Croupiers employed for your party are fully experienced and have excellent customer service and entertainment skills.

Casino Games: Decide on what games you want, but best to keep it simple with easy-to-learn games like Roulette, Blackjack and Poker. Some of the other games take time to learn.

Decorations: Decorate your venue with a Vegas vibe - The feel of Vegas can be created with backdrops, hiring casino tables and accessories. Cut out some large cardboard casino chips and colour them in, get some giant dice, and buy large-size playing cards to hang up around your venue. Look for glitz and sparkle.

Colour Scheme: The typical playing card colours are red and black. Look for these colours when buying decorations like balloons or ribbons to help create an authentic feel - don't forget about white either because it's always necessary as an underlining shade on top of everything else.

Dress code: Ask your guests to dress up for the evening, just like you see in the movies, create an atmosphere as if you really were in Las Vegas for the night. A less formal fancy dress option also works well.

Invitations: You can make your party a success by having personalized invites printed on the back of playing cards. This can be done as a fun DIY project, or you can hire specialist printers. Make sure to include the dress code on the invitations.

Fun Money: It wouldn't be a Casino without money! Have personalised play money made (can be personalised with photos/logos etc by your Fun Casino Hire company) or use Monopoly money, and have it issued to guests as they arrive.

Photos: Use your casino-theme backdrop for photos. Guests will love having their photos taken in your casino. Real casinos don't actually permit photos to be taken on the gaming floor.
