It's A Party-ful Life!
Casino Party
-
For invitations: Find an old deck of cards. Using cardstock, glue a couple cards on the front of the invitation... You don't have to chance your luck ~ you're sure to have a good time at Casino night at the Smith's! tip: if you want your party to be more formal ~ specify this on your invitation, ie: black tie
-
Get pictures online of clips from "The Hangover" and make your own flyer, ie: what happens in Vegas...
-
Recruit friends... (ask them to dress in white button-down shirts with a black bow tie and black trousers)... to portray a coat check person, one to man each game, a bartender, a waiter/waitress, a D.J., an impersonator, someone to help in the kitchen, and you of course will be the casino manager. tip: to make it true 'vegas-style' ~ have a friend stand outside handing out assorted pamphlet and brochures (local strip clubs, resteraunts, etc..) how funny would that be ; ~just like in Vegas!)!
-
You can rent slot machines, roulette table, etc..(check your local yellow pages for rentals)
-
Clear the room as much as possible to set up tables for separate areas for the casino:
