Casino Royale menu and Table Decorations
The menu is really up to you. You can have anything from a full-blown 7-course dinner or elegant buffet to serving munchies throughout the evening, with coffee and dessert at the end.
If you're serving a sit-down dinner, you'll want to have seating cards. You can make your own by attaching mini playing cards to each one. White linens for the tables, topped with cloth squares of red or black make a handsome room. Nice white china and flatware trimmed in glittering silver or gold add to the glitz and glitter. Sprinkle tables with foil wrapped chocolate coins for an extra spectacular touch.
If you prefer to have a buffet, make sure you decorate it with color coordinating table cloths. Set out casino paper goods and silverware bundles wrapped with party beads so people can easily grab and go with the food.
Add some fun signage to different sections of the buffet to tie in with the theme:
- Shaken Not Stirred Martini Bar
- Octopussy Sushi Bar
- Gold-Finger Foods
- Dr. No-Double Dipping
Or you can let the martini's classic garnishes be your inspiration. Olive tapenade is a must, and onion dip will be a hit, too.
No casino party's complete without lots of drinks so don't forget the bar. If you're making toasts, serve champagne. You have to serve martinis, what kind of James Bond party would it be without them? LED champagne and martini glasses will add an extra element of fun to the bar. With the booze flowing and the gambling going you can bet your guests will have the time of their lives!
Want to add some sizzle to your Casino Royale party? Modeling agencies can supply fabulous showgirls to walk around the game tables and serve champagne to your guests—unless you want to do the posing (oo-la-la!).
Don't forget to give your tables some pizazz as well! Try a few of these table decorating ideas:
- Wrap a red or silver fringed tableskirt around each table for a little bling.
- Hang a silver fringe chandelier above each table o add drama!
- Finish off your table look by scattering casino confetti.
