Invitations

Decorations
For your casino-themed party, think red, black and especially green! Decorate your place with fake money, chips and cards. Turn the lights down low and string twinkly lights everywhere to set the mood.
Provide each of your guests with little buckets for their winnings. To keep people circulating and interacting with one another, give everyone a score card that keeps tracks of how many games they’ve tried.
Cover tables with black felt and use a white paint marker to draw blackjack, craps and baccarat lines, or buy pre-made game layouts. You should have a rule book handy in case there are any disputes, but don’t forget this old adage: The house always wins!
Attire
Depending on the type of establishment you’re running, you might want some guests to be patrons, and others to work the tables as dealers. Make sure your gamblers are dressed to the nines — visualize a tuxedo-wearing James Bond staring down Le Chiffre in Casino Royale to get the right idea. Ladies and gents should get dolled up and into character.
Here are some ideas for spiffy clothing and accessories for your casino party outfit:
- Tuxedos and suits for the gents, sparkly attire for the ladies
- Pocket watches, opera gloves or sparkly jewelry
- Aces up your sleeves
- Decks of cards, dice, chips, fake money
- Prizes for the biggest spenders and biggest losers
Activities
Every casino party activity should center around gambling so set up different zones for different events: one for Texas Hold ‘Em, one for 5-card Stud and other poker games, and another for dice games and roulette.
Partner up novice gamblers with old pros, and make sure there’s space around your tables so people can watch and learn. If you’re feeling unconventional, make a tiny obstacle course or play charades!
Food
When you think casino, you generally think of drinks — and lots of them! — but don’t forget to fortify people’s stomachs with some good food!
If your casino leans more towards the highbrow, bust out the chafing dish and serve Swedish meatballs or warm crab and artichoke dip. Or stoke your guests’ appetites with spicy foods like wings, chips with charred corn salsa and tangy tomato bruschetta.
Hand out plenty of cocktail napkins so that hands, cards and tables stay clean. You don’t want anything to undermine the legitimacy of your operation!
Drinks
Champagne Cocktail (serves 1)
- 2 dashes bitters
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Chilled Champagne
- 1 twist lemon peel
Mix and serve chilled.
For a nonalcoholic alternative, make pitchers of classics like Shirley Temples and Roy Rogers. Be sure to decorate with maraschino cherries and groovy stir sticks.

5. James Bond and Casino Royale or Shanghai Nights
If you are hosting a charity event or social gala, consider a James Bond Casino Royale theme or a Shanghai Nights theme for an oriental flair. Both are sophisticated and sensational.
Ask your guests to come dressed to the nines for a Black Tie or White Tie affair. Include a martini bar to set the mood. After you hire your professional casino company, caterers and entertainment, look for a party cake to wow the guests.
I love this James Bond Cake below by CakesDecor.com. You can serve it or use the cake as an auction item for raising funds at the charity event. Of course this a much smaller version of the cake you’ll be having. (smiles)
And how about some irresistible and classy James Bond gift bags like the ones below found at Catch My Party.

Fill them with party favors worthy of your guests. Or if you want you can simply use two solid color bags (black and white). I love keeping things simple because sometimes, less is more.
When choosing the oriental flair of Shanghai Night’s, ask guests to wear red accents as it’s consider good fortune.
Men can wear Tuxedos with Mandarin Collars while the ladies can wear beautiful cheongsams and style their hair and jewels in classic 1930s style.
Ask your caterers to serve Dim Sum and rice wine for the occasion. Add a sophisticated flair with paper lanterns, roses, and tea light candles for your dinner party.
Mixing Chinese New Year decorations with casino gaming will impress your guests.
Top off the dinner with fortune cookie cupcakes. I found the inspiration for these at Laura’s Little Party Site Blog.
For a more formal occasion, I suggest a spectacular Dragon Cake.

Dragons are wise and are a perfect reminder for a fun night of gambling; generously bet your money to support charity! I found this dragon cake on Love This Pic.
