Wedding Favors – Las Vegas Style!
Are you a fun-loving couple who loves to gamble and enjoy the
night life? Have you already thought about a Las Vegas theme for
your wedding, but you are not sure if you can pull it off? If your
idea of a great wedding and a great time involves Las Vegas and
Casinos, then some Las Vegas themed wedding favors may be just the
thing to make your wedding memorable and fun.
Dice are Nice
There are several ways to use dice as Las Vegas theme wedding
favors for a reception. Use dice as favors and to hold place
cards. One set of die can be pushed together at each table setting
to hold a name card, or stack them up in the center to hold the
table number. Include a card with directions to a dice game or two
and watch the fun begin.
Another way is to use small clear photo cubes and insert pieces of
paper with dice dots on them. This is a great project for you and
your bridesmaids. Use brightly colored paper with printed dots to
add some Vegas style; use your computer and a paper cutter to make
the dots and pieces of paper a uniform size. You needn’t worry
about being completely accurate; the point is to decorate using
fun Las Vegas theme wedding favors.
Another simple way to use dice as favors is to bundle them up in
tulle and pop them in empty plastic champagne or martini glasses.
Toss extra dice around the reception area for added appeal and
colorful decorations.
Fun with Cards
What better way is there to say Las Vegas than giving playing
cards as wedding favors to all the guests? Children will have fun playing
go fish and the adults can play black jack and poker. This should
entertain people while they are waiting for you to arrive from the
wedding ceremony site, and it can provide some fun for those who
may not want to put on their dancing shoes after dinner.
Present these Las Vegas themed wedding favors in little velvet bags with your
names and wedding printed on the pouch, or simply attach a small
card and festive bow to the pack with your favorite gambling movie
quote or directions to the Bride and Groom’s favorite card games.
A great way to get some of the decks is to call a casino and ask
about their retired decks. Often they give them away when you
organize a party at the casino. Echo the card them by using cards
as place holders or by labeling the tables with a specific card
instead of a number. For example, one table could be the Jack of
Hearts table.
Poker Chips
Using poker chips as Las Vegas theme wedding favors can really add
some color and excitement. Have a vendor that makes chocolate
coins make some chocolate poker chips instead and either spread
them across the tables like confetti or wrap them up in tulle
bundles and deposit them next to each place setting.
If chocolate is not your thing then consider placing a poker chip
at each place setting and letting the guests use them for one free
drink at the bar. If you want to get into the spirit of gambling,
put a number on each chip and then draw numbers at the end of the
night for prizes like a set of poker chips, shot glasses, Elvis
posters and other Las Vegas style favors. It is guaranteed to make
your wedding more spirited and unforgettable.
Have fun and involve your friends and family in the choice of
decor, games and favors. Use a combination of all three types of
favors to really give some punch to your Las Vegas themed wedding
favors. Remember that there is no such thing as over-the-top when
you do things Vegas style!
