Casino Party

Looking for a party idea that will blow your guests away? Maybe you should think about arranging a casino party. It's fun, it's stylish and it will definitely be one of the more looked forward to events on your friends' social calendars this year.

The idea of a casino party has a lot going for it, with lots of potential to provide unique and exciting party activities that simply aren't available in any other context. For one, people love to dress up in shiny, glorious formal party gear, but most events where this type of dress is appropriate turn out to be stuffy, boring evenings of speeches and the like.

But a casino party allows your guests to put on their best bibs and tuckers, their most beautiful flowing gowns and their most dazzling jewellery, and yet still have a fantastic time. This factor alone can provide all the excuse you need to throw the hugely successful casino party.

Casino Party Theme

A good casino party also gives you a great opportunity to pick some of the most glitzy, flamboyant casino party decorations you can come up with. The casino theme colours you will be working with are black, red and green, and as much fuzzy felt as you can get your hands on.

Throughout the night, you can hand out party favours and prizes in the form of decks of cards, novelty dice sets, or pretty much anything small and casino related. It's also worth having the gaming staff keep track of play so that you can hand out spot casino party prizes for big wins or big losses.

You don't necessarily need to play for real money - this is supposed to be a party after all. Pretty much any casino game can be played with chips, so all you need is to hand your guests a stack of them as they arrive. That said, there is nothing stopping your guest from running a cash side bet on a game if they want to.

Casino Party Hire and Supplies

So what casino party suppliers will you need for your casino party? Making your own gaming tables is a whole of fun. Simply drape a standard table in felt, and draw the gaming outlines that you require on them in chalk or paint. You can very easily set up some blackjack tables this way. Then all you need to do is hire in some card dealers to run your games for you, and you're all set. We strongly recommend hiring dealers to manage your casino night, ss those who will have ever attended poorly organised casino parties before will understand the importance of having professional experienced gaming staff running the show.

You don't have to limit yourself to traditional casino games, of course. We've heard of at least one wildly successful casino party where the host managed to stage a mock greyhound race in the back yard with the family pets. Well maybe that is moving slightly away form a casino party theme!

Of course, if DIY casino party night is not your thing, there are many casino hire companies available that will help you plan and execute the ultimate casino party. They'll bring professional game tables to your home, help you set them up, and supply you with fantastic casino-themed decorations. They'll run your games for you, and take the equipment away afterwards, allowing you to simply kick back and enjoy all of the excitement and fun along with your guests.
