Easy New Year's Casino Party

Casino is the perfect theme for your New Year's Eve party. It has built in entertainment (gambling) and the best decorations. So combine the glitz of the casino with the glamour of New Year's Eve for the perfect celebration to ring in 2012, Vegas Style!

1. Send Your New Year's Casino Invitation

Print out your own Casino Invitations right at home (they even come with glitter add-ons).
Personalize Your Party! Of course, you can use a great Personalized New Year's Casino Invitation from Party411.com.
A great way to make the invitation stand out from the rest is to include a strand or two of Colorful Dice Beads in the envelope, or even just a little Casino Confetti.

2. Dress your Guests let them loose!

It is very important to decorate your guests for a New Year's Eve party, who ever had a bad time when they were wearing a fun hat and tooting on a horn? The easiest way to get everyone dressed up is with a New Year's Eve Party Kit that has hats, tiaras, noisemakers and more! We love the Ritz For 50 for this theme.
Even with the party kit, you may want to pass out some extra special party items. Here are a few of our favorites:

Personalize Your Party! Another fun New Year's party idea is to pass out Personalized Money at the door. Let your guests use it to bet on games and redeem prizes at the end of the night!

3. Decorate Your Home Vegas Style!

Welcome everyone with a Personalized Casino Banner outside your house (waterproof!) wishing all Happy New Year.
Personalize Your Party! When your guests walk in the door greet them with a Life-sized Cutout of you dressed in swanky clothing (or maybe as baby New Year!). Add a speech bubble telling guests to don their party hats and tiaras.
Make your guest feel like they are in a casino by putting up Slot Machine Scene Setters on the blank walls.
Dice Lights are perfect around doorways and over the buffet/bar.
For a stunning (yet inexpensive) effect, hang a combination of Casino Dangles and Black and Silver New Year Danglers from your ceiling. Fun!
A Silver Glitter New Year's Banner over the buffet or bar for a final celebratory touch.

4. Set Your Table with Casino Paper Goods

You don't want to serve a big meal at this party. Just circulate tasty appetizers and h'ordeuvres. Make sure you have some fun Casino Paper Goods to go with the food.
Cover any tables, the buffet and even the bar with Blackjack Table Covers, they make unique tablecloths.
Set out munchies in Casino Snack Bowls. I'm a Chex Mix gal myself, but pretzels and chips are great too.
Since everyone will be eating on the go, make silverware bundles by wrapping plastic utensils with a napkin. Tie the bundles off with colorful Dice Beads. You guests can wear them as a favor after they eat!

5. Decorate the Bar and Light Up the Drinks

Wow your guests by serving drinks in Light Up Champagne and Jewel Martini Glasses, they will be the hit of the party.
A good way to add a bit of festivity to the bar is to use a fun cocktail or beverage napkin along with a few creative drink garnishes. Try this classy Resolutions Napkin paired with a olive in your martini. Fabulous!
Personalize Your Party! This is a New Year's party, so don't forget to toast and celebrate with lots of bubbly! Make it extra special by using Personalized Champagne Bottle Labels that match your invitations on the bottles.

6. Hand Out Favors to Say "Thanks for coming!"

Don't forget favor bags! Check out these custom New Year's Eve favor bags.
Make your favor part of the casino theme by letting guests trade in their play money for prizes. You can do a variety of prize levels so that the big winners can take home something fun, and everyone still gets a prize. Here are a few suggestions:

Personalize Your Party! Even if you guests don't "win" anything, make sure they go home with a sweet reminder of your New Year's party. A Personalized New Year's Casino Candy Bar fits the bill!

Makes one fun New Year's Eve Casino Party!
