Theme parties are definitely the "in" thing nowadays. Prom night, Pajama, Masquerade and Luau are the most common themes for parties and sometimes, we need to stretch our imagination a bit more, getting away from the conventional themes to ensure a truly unforgettable party experience. Are you ready for a Poker-themed Party? Here are some pointers that could help you make your poker party a worthwhile experience for you and your friends.
You can actually choose the decoration yourself so that you can get the casino feel once your guests come in. Watch their eyes get bigger of amazement on how you've managed to transform your room into a Las Vegas corner. If you think getting the real poker tables would be a little too costly, you can just improvise by getting some large green felt paper and cover the tables with it. Make sure to attach it really smoothly until you get that poker table feel. You can also get playing cards to serve as the invitations to your poker-themed party. You just need someone who will write legibly on them. Something hand-made is always better than something machine-made. You get to apply some personal touches to it which makes the event more significant and memorable for you and for your guests. If you want that casino-type of environment, you can also get lights set up at the venue of your poker party which will add a more Las Vegas feel to it. If you want balloons, you can have them designed with playing cards and poker chips for the imprints. However, not too many poker players find balloons very entertaining because they find it a little distracting during a game.
And speaking of distractions, make sure that your visitors roll up their long sleeves to prevent them from hiding cards during a game. You don't want to end up losing in your own party just because someone pulled their poker trick on you. By the way, you might want to ask your guests to bring in their own set of poker chips for back up. You don't want to end a good game early just when everything's getting hot because you ran out of chips to provide the players with. Trust me on that. They will remember you for a poker party that ended too soon.
Another important thing to make sure of is the food. You don't have to get a catering service to serve food in your poker party. It's a poker party and not a binge out party. Having pizza delivered is a good idea because most people who play poker would agree that ordering pizza and being able to eat it conveniently at once is better to lower the down time in poker. You may also serve pica-picas but be sure to avoid serving them to everyone like a waiter because you'd end up distracting the poker players. Making this party a success really depends on how well you manage your guests and your venue. If everything turns out better than expected, you have a blossoming new career ahead of you.
