Go to www.orientaltrading.com and put in the search word "casino" and lots of casino theme party items will pop up.

Oriental Trading has tons of party things for bulk prices. It's a great site for any party.

Good luck, it sounds like fun!

Hi J.,
What a fun idea. For food, I would suggest heavy appetizers instead of a sit down meal... catered if possible, Vegas style. For prizes, you could equate number of chips won for each prize; the more the chips, the better the prize. As far as quantity and method, it really depends on how big or small the party. How many people are you inviting? I am a Party Planner and would be happy to give you some free ideas. And if you are interested, I can give you a quote on invitations and/or favors. I specialize in unique & whimsical "message in a bottle" invitations & favors - all mailable in some clever way, see-through bottles, containers, etc. filled with miniatures to fit the theme. Last year, I had a client who was throwing a bachelorette party in Vegas and I did the invitations & favors. I have the samples which I can email you photos of and/or come up with something new. I provide quantity discounts. Send me a message with more details on your party, number of guests, locations, date & time, etc. and I'd love to brainstorm ideas with you. If you're doing everything yourselves, I can give you some basic ideas for free. If you're interested in having invitations or favors done, then I can get more elaborate. My website www.menneeexpressions.com is under construction and you can read reviews from past clients on Mamasource. :)Have fun and Happy Birthday!

Hi J..

I threw a casino party for my husband's 40th. The company I used is called "21 Fun" and they were great. It was very professional and friendly. The dealers come in tuxes and gave my husband a set of poker chips and bottle of wine as a birthday gift. They use "funny money" which at the end of the evening is turned into raffle tickets to do a drawing with. I did 4 or 5 giveaways: Massage Envy gift card, cold stone, Itunes, etc. I decorated the tables with gold coins I bought at Party City (very inexpensive) as well as casino confetti and playing cards. We did lots of balloons in silver and black.

Have a great time, it's such a fun party idea that our friends and neighbors are still talking about it over 1 year later.

I don't have many ideas for the casino night itself but will vouche for Adrianna at the Orange Olive bakery. It is wonderful and have had 3 cakes from there. She makes the tastiest cakes with amazing decorations. I'm in the Inland empire and it is worth the drive.

There is a singer named Richard Cheese who remakes current songs in the "lounge singer style" and he is hilarious and has great tunes. Go to richarddheese.com. What says Vegas better than lounge singers? You can get his albums at amazon. I really would recommend him for music.

There is a website celebrateexpress.com that will have ideas for you.

We did a casino thing for my grandfather when he retired (this was several years ago). It was really fun, our center pieces looked like dice (square boxes decorated). Coming out of the box were "cards" on sticks that were really cookies decorated. The "cards" were arranged to show different types of winning hands. I know there are chocolate coins wrapped to look like poker chips. There are so many different possibilities.

Hope you have fun

Hi J.,
My husband had such a party last year for his birthday celebration. It was great! You can find Queen of Hearts Savignon Blanc wines at the 99 cents store. I used these as centerpieces and gave them away along with a bag of card chocolates. I have a friend who has a card mold and she made these fabulous chocolate cards of every suit. She was very reasonable and I have her info, if you need it. Also, I bought casino type music cds. I googled all the info you are requesting and came up with so many referrals and ideas. A good friend of ours who loves to play poker with my husband, dressed up and dealt the cards. It was great! Let me know what you end up doing. Have fun!

Personalized wine would be great to have on tables or around with a family picture or a birthday picture, or something fun.
Let me know if you want to chat about having something like that there.
How fun!
ENJOY!
Cheers!

Hi J., I was involved in a casino night fundraiser and we uesed RLS, ###-###-####. The owner who you'll deal with is Richard. He and all of his staff are quite professional, very fun, and willing to teach those who don't know how to play. I love the other food & decoration ideas that have been offered. We bought from the 99 cent store packages of playing cards with poker chips and used these to decorate tables...cheap and easy! We provided foods that did not get the hands to dirty or greasy so they could quickly get back to the tables. Prizes/Raffles: You'll want at least 2 or 3 depending on the size of your party. Have fun & HAPPY BIRTHDAY! K.

We went through a listing service called Casino Party Rental. We ended up with 3 different quotes, and had a great night. I forget the name of the company we went with but Casino Party Rental is at www.casinopartyrental.com. They also have a page with some tips and ideas at http://www.casinopartyrental.com/casino_party.html

Hope that helps.
