casino themed 70th birthday party

We are planning a suprise birthday party for my grandpa's 70th birthday.it is casino themed. I have pretty much found everything I wanted as far as invitations & decorations go but I'm stuck on food and drink to offer. Any ideas ladies???

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love

Re: casino themed 70th birthday party

  • how about doing it sort of throw back to Casino Royal? and grandpa can be James Bond?

    i co-hosted a bridal shower this year and the theme was Vegas, b/c they were eloping there. check out this cupcake stand the other hostess made. i thought it was great!

  • I am planning to do a casino themed 30th birthday for my hubby when the time comes.  I thought good favors would be a personalized deck of cards and the chocolate candies that are wrapped to look just like casino chips.  I also thought about making decorated sugar cookies in the four card shapes (spade, heart, etc.).  I was planning to go all out and hire a company to set up fake casino games that guests can play, such as roulette or blackjack.  They have dealers and use fake money. Not sure of your budget or if they have this in your area, but this might be a fun idea!
