| Casino
parties are a popular and successful way for companies or groups
to entertain their guests. It's all in fun, with no gambling involved.
Your guests wager with scrip or 'funny money', and have a chance
to win prizes based on their winnings.
In fact, meeting planners
throughout the U.S consistently vote casino parties the #1 form
of theme entertainment.
So, how do you go about
putting on a memorable casino party?
Many things come to mind,
the most obvious being to immediately sit down and contact our member
company nearest you!
Having done hundreds
of casino parties in your area, they'll give you expert advice on
the local and state laws governing how casino parties are done,
party ideas and themes that have worked and not worked, even unusual
locations that may be perfect for your event.
NEXT, R E L A X!
1. Don't over
think it!
You've invited people to gather, mingle and enjoy. They've come
to have a good time, and their interaction at the gaming tables
will provide the fun.
2. Don't work
too hard!
Don't be so exhausted before your guests arrive that you can't enjoy
your own party.
3. How about
a theme?
It doesn't have to be fancy or elaborate. What time of year is it?
Is there anything significant that happens around then?
February, March, July,
October, November and December are all significant, with celebrations
and holiday’s people naturally tie in with parties. What about
other times of the year?
April... How about an
After Tax Party?
'Poor house hors d'oeurves'
Guest turn their pockets inside out
Wear fleece (you know, fleeced by the IRS)
Pin the dollar on the IRS (your last dollar)
Hold a wake for the end
of summer in September.
Use a stage prop coffin
as your ice chest.
Have everyone dress in black.
A few of your guests could do a personal eulogy about summer.
4. Consider your guest list.
Will they get into the spirit of a costumed event? If so, using
a theme can almost guarantee success! Here are some ideas.
Gone With the Wind (just
make sure you have room for all those hooped skirts!)
Mint Juleps, parasols, southern accents, Confederacy, handlebar
mustaches, etc.
Space: the Final Frontier, Star Trek, astronauts, aliens, etc.
Come as your favorite TV or movie character
To set the theme of your party, consider using props and decorations.
Some of our member companies are designers and decorators, too and
they can help you create just the right 'feel' for your event.
