Even if you aren't getting married in Las Vegas, it's easy to have a casino theme wedding. Here are some tips and suggestions to pull off the perfect casino theme wedding.

Wedding Attire

Colors that are used in a casino theme wedding are normally any combination of red/black/green/white. A casino theme wedding is a fun affair that can be fancy or casual. If you want a formal affair, wear a traditional frilly wedding gown. If you are looking for something more daring and casual, perhaps a 1920's style, white dress that falls just above the knee. Whatever you choose, make sure that you are comfortable and that the gown is uniquely you.

Here are some suggestions for attire for the wedding party.

  • Bride - White Dress paired with red sandals or slingbacks
  • Groom - Traditional tuxedo with red bow tie
  • Groomsmen - Traditional tuxedos with green bow ties or perhaps black trousers, white shirt and dealer vests
  • Bridesmaids - Red or black dress with shoes of the opposite color

Play Your Cards Right

The Reception

Keeping the spirit of your colors, you should decorate the reception hall in red, green and black. If you like you can set up the reception hall as a casino. You can rent a craps or blackjack table and hire a dealer. Your guests can play with fake money and at the end of the night turn in their money for small prizes, such as a deck of cards, set of poker chips, or other casino themed trinket.

If you aren't serving dinner, hire cocktail waitresses in skimpy, Vegas-style outfits to serve drinks and appetizers on trays as guests mingle. If you prefer a full dinner menu, go buffet style and decorate the tables, using red flowers in centerpieces and casino-themed decorations.

Here are some terrific websites that sell a variety of casino party decorations.

The Details

The Music

Whether you select a band or a DJ, stick to Vegas style music - Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, Elvis Presley, Don Ho, Wayne Newton and more.

The Favors

You can find a lot of very cute casino theme wedding favors. My favorite are these poker chip keychains, you can purchase from PartySuppliesHut.com.

Most importantly, have fun! This is your big day. So even if you aren't in Las Vegas or Monte Carlo, gamble on love with a casino theme wedding.
