Love Vegas? Consider A Casino Theme Wedding

A great way to showcase your fun loving nature is to throw a fun, original wedding that everyone will enjoy and have a good time attending. A great example is to plan a casino theme wedding.

Everyone loves Las Vegas – it's a place where you can gamble to your heart's content, stay up until the wee hours of the night, see visually stimulating shows and be transported in your fantasies to one of many themed locations each casino has to offer (Paris, Venice, Italy and the Middle East).

If you are one of the many couples who enjoy spending time in Vegas, then a casino theme wedding might be the perfect way to celebrate your special day!

You don't have to fly guests to Las Vegas to experience all that the city of sin has to offer. There are many ways that you can transform your wedding and reception into a Vegas-like environment.

Start by designing your wedding invitations, Vegas-style. Cut your invitations into miniature replicas of the Las Vegas sign and include all of the wedding information on the inside cover. Or, you can create your invitations out of playing cards, which will give your guests an idea as to what your casino themed wedding will encompass.

Although you're not experiencing the “true” Elvis wedding chapel experience, you can create something similar for your casino theme wedding. Pick a location for the ceremony that will be easy to dress up and decorate the surroundings like a traditional Vegas wedding chapel. If you're lucky, you could even have one of your friends (perhaps the best man), dress up in an Elvis costume, to get the full effect!

The reception will be the place to fully highlight the casino theme wedding. When guests arrive to the reception spot, give them playing cards that include their name and table number, so they know where to find their dinner spot. Decorate the tables with different casino theme elements, such as roulette wheels, craps table details and cover the middle of the tables with chips and chocolate coins.

Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett music has always been very reminiscent of old Las Vegas and it's also great dinner music. Add some “old Vegas style” to your reception by playing music by these two great artists.

What would a casino theme wedding be without real gambling? Hire dealers and bring in multiple tables where people can play blackjack, poker or craps. Not only will this be entertaining for the guests, but it's a great way to stimulate conversation between large groups of people.

Since the primary focus of a casino theme wedding will be on the decor and the actual gambling that will take place during the wedding reception, there are not very many guidelines to follow as it relates to the food served at the wedding.

The only thing – as it relates to food – that is typical of Las Vegas, is the infamous buffet. Share in this Vegas tradition for you casino theme wedding and serve a wide variety of options for your guests, buffet style. Buffets are usually easier than sit down dinners and guests will have more variety to choose what they like to eat.

Your wedding cake can also represent a casino theme wedding. Top your wedding cake with slot machines or tiny blackjack tables. For a simpler approach, simply top your cake with a handful of chips or tiny dollar signs. Another alternative is to serve casino themed cupcakes.

In the end, a casino theme wedding is the perfect wedding idea for anyone who wants to experience something different on their wedding day. Casino themed weddings are sure to be a hit for all of your guests, and they are guaranteed a good time!
