A great way to get ideas for theming your night is to look at what professional casino hire companies have on offer. There are a lot of details to get right so it might even be better to hire an experienced company to do it for you. Many companies offer tailor made packages to accommodate your budget.
Some classic themes you might like to consider are:
- Las Vegas [http://www.funcasinos.biz/catalogue.php?catid=2&pid=1004]
- James Bond
- Wild West
- Monte Carlo
Any casino hire company worth its salt will be able to provide everything you need for any of these classic themes, and they'll probably have extras like chocolate fountains and fancy dress available. If you've got the money and an idea, you might be able to get a bespoke theme - make sure you ask with plenty of notice though, these will be harder to put together.
If you really can't afford the professionals, you're still sure to get a some great ideas by looking at what they do. It might even give you some ideas of where to go if you find yourself with enough money later down the line.
If you put on the night yourself, the important things are game tables, chips, fake money, croupiers in appropriate costumes, banners and decorations. Make sure you've organised for all props and game tables to arrive well in advance of your night and have agreed a time for them to be packed up - you don't want casino collapsing mid-party.
Hosting themed casino nights can be great fun, but there are a lot of details to bear in mind. Ensure sure you've planned far in advance, or even better, hire a company to do it for you. That way you don't have to worry about a thing.
