Quick Tips For Creating Amazing Casino Theme Party Decorations
Feeling lucky? Host a casino theme party! Take your guests back to the glamorous casino era, when everyone got gussied up to test their luck on the casino floor. A casino night theme party is the perfect way to celebrate a milestone birthday, a retirement, graduation, or even an anniversary. Whatever you’re planning to celebrate, host an unforgettable casino theme party with these decoration tips.
The Casino Theme at a Glance
The colors for a classic casino theme party include black, red, white, silver and gold. Glean your inspiration from decks of cards, dice, and the glamour of the casinos as they’re depicted in James Bond films. If you’re looking to go with more of a Las Vegas-style casino theme, then you will have many other colors to choose from, including neon colors!
The fun of a casino party starts with the glamour of the games, winning, and having plenty of money to blow. Provide your guests with stacks of fake currency when they arrive so they get in the high rolling mood. Provide plenty of champagne, martinis and decadent hors-d’oeuvres to fuel the fun.
Creating casino theme decorations can be somewhat time-consuming, as the cards, dice and other mascots of the theme require a steady hand and a good eye for detail to recreate. If time is tight, head to Paper Plus to get ready-made casino theme party decorations. If you’re crafty, we have a wonderful selection so that you can create beautiful casino theme party decorations yourself.
Casino Theme Party Invitations
The excitement starts with the invitation. Depending on which style of casino theme party decorations you’re going for, the invitation could look like a large playing card, a crisp black Casino Royale-style invitation with basic information, or a glittering invitation inspired by the jackpot.
Casino Theme Decorations
When it comes to casino theme decorations, bigger really is better. You want your guests to be immersed in the casino experience as soon as they walk in, so don’t be shy with the decorations!
- Paint half a dozen boxes to look like dice and stack them in corners throughout the venue.
- Order a balloon arch with black, red, white, and silver balloons for the entryway. We carry latex balloons with casino theme prints that accent the balloon arch nicely. You can also purchase up to 32-inch Mylar balloons shaped like spades, hearts, clubs, and diamonds.
- Cut up some poster board to create jumbo playing cards, and display winning hands across the venue.
- If you have a large venue, create direction signs so guests can easily locate the games they want to play.
- Cover your tables with casino theme tablecloths. We have tablecloths with playing cards, dollar signs or table games printed on them.
- Don’t forget about the walls! Hang casino-themed banners, backdrops, and cutouts near the appetizers and around the doorways. We carry jumbo playing cards, dollar signs, dice and poker chip cutouts as well as banners that imitate casino signs.
Casino Theme Costumes
It’s possible some guests will arrive without costumes, so you’ll want to be prepared. Give out green visors so guests can pretend to be dealers. Provide fake clip-on ties, fedoras, and boas for your costume-less gambling guests so they can play the part. These are items we regularly stock!
Casino Theme Centerpieces
Make your guests feel like high rollers when they take a seat. Hire a cocktail waitress to take their orders.
- Fill martini glasses with beads, dice, poker chips and even red and black feathers.
- Scatter some poker-inspired confetti around the centerpieces.
- Take advantage of clear glass containers, as they make a great foundation for displaying all the flashy chips, beads and ribbons.
- You can’t go wrong with classic red roses, either. A few dozen bouquets woven into the centerpieces elevates the decorations without going overboard.
If you’re crafty, you can also manipulate playing cards with scissors and folding techniques to create playing card roses.
