The Oldfather's Casino Night

This was a 20th wedding anniversary party for a gamble-loving couple.  We couldn't afford to send them to Vegas so we brought Vegas to them!   Now we have a Casino Night party with the addition of a Godfather undertone - genius.

Started off by making the invitations and told everyone to be prepared to gamble:



I made up table limit cards.  We had enough dealers, chips & tables to play Three Card Poker, Let It Ride, Blackjack & Craps.




I even had funny money printed up to go along with the poker chips we had.  This is one example where I photo-shopped the guest of honor's face onto this $100 bill.

I ordered a custom Casino Night banner from Shindigz:


These centerpieces were made of a giant martini glass with shimmery grass and water in the middle.  I added a glow stick for illuminations and sprinkled colored dice around the base.

Cake table!  I made a couple of dice cakes with 7 & 11 displayed on top.


Here's some party pics of everyone gambling the night away :-)
