Take Us to Vegas

A Graduation Theme Party

Cling, cling. The shuffling of the cards. The roll of the dice. The spinning of the roulette wheel. Feel like you're in Vegas? Well, maybe not. But go all out to simulate the excitement and amusement of a night in Vegas for your grad. On second thought, day or night, Vegas never shuts down. This theme is perfect for the guest of honor who likes fun, adventure and chance. Pull up a chair, get out the chips and settle in to plan this Take us to Vegas Graduation party.

Casino Graduation Invitations

For a personalized invitation that matches the theme, take a look at these personalized casino invitations, or try a more traditional graduation party invitation from Creation For You.

For an invitation that screams casino, attach your invitation to a deck of cards, poker chips, or dice.  Better yet, send one oversized playing card with the party details on the back as an invitation.  Say something like, “Kevin’s dealing the cards. Celebrate his future luck at…”. If you want your party to have a roaring twenties bend to it, use a permanent marker and write your invitation directly on plastic gangster hats!

Send a Party411 custom caricature of your graduate as a casino dealer, or perhaps looking victorious after a night of card playing, or even portrayed as a playing card! Your grad can be the King of Diamonds or the Queen of Spades! We would not recommend, however, that you portray your grad as a show bunny or dancer, since that might tarnish his or her image with the grandparents and old Aunt Esther!

Casino Graduation Decorations and Party Supplies

First off, your guest of honor must wear a black felt gangster hat or jewel tiara so that everyone knows where to find him or her at all times. Then give all of your guests packets of bogus bills and dice beads to get them in the Vegas mindset!

Now you need to turn your home into the Vegas strip! Start by hanging a slot machine scene setter on your walls. Then put up a couple of Welcome to Vegas signs. Finish the room with  fun casino dangles.

You will have several tables that are in need of decoration. First cover them with a green tablecloth, then sprinkle casino confetti across the top. We recommend using balloons to draw attention to your tables since they are easy and economical! You can do a mix of black, red and white latex balloons, or go with a casino balloon bouquet. Tie the balloons to a pokerchip balloon weights and you have decoration for not only your tables but for the entrance, doorways, and general room decorations as well.

The best centerpieces for a casino party are personalized playing card centerpieces with the grads face on it front and center. Have a casino balloon bouquet coming out of the top. 

Attach your seating cards to graduation year glasses to celebrate your graduate. Or, you can write the seating assignments directly onto small bags filled with personalized fake money with your grad's face.

Casino Graduation Menu

A buffet of finger foods is the perfect way to go at your casino party (because what says casino more that buffet, no?). This way your guests can take it with them to all of the game tables! Some tasty ideas are:

• Chicken fingers
• Spinach & feta filo pastry triangles
• Satay chicken
• Cocktail samosas
• Spring rolls served with sweet/sour sauce
• Marinated turkey nibbles
• Shrimp cocktail
• Thai fishcakes served (hot or cold) with yogurt/coriander dipping sauce
• Cocktail club sandwiches
• Spinach crepes filled with cream cheese and hot-smoked salmon
• Sushi rolls with a variety of fillings
• Rare beef skewers with horseradish
• Antipasto including all the favorites like tapenade and pâté

Casino Graduation Games and Activities

This may be the most fun party that your guests will attend. Hang a casino banner to direct guests to the playing area. Set up stations around the party venue with a blackjack felt tablecovers, where your guests can gamble with their fake money.  You can check out our casino party games for all of the rules to popular casino games. Set up a "store" where your guests can redeem their winnings for prizes like dollar sign necklaces, diamond word tattoos, and Blues Brothers glasses.

Another cute idea is to have a lifesized cut-out of the grad in a tuxedo or red dress, James Bond style. Everyone will love having their picture taken with the "guest of honor". You can also try roasting and toasting your graduate for fun and to share great memories.

Casino Graduation Party Favors

Send your guests home with more than just the prizes they've won, chocolate dice or decks of cards are great favors. You can have these personalized with something like "I went to Vegas with [grad's name]. Really, the best favor is a personalized candy bar wrapper. Everyone likes candy, it's a fun remembrance of the graduate, and the cost is low. Of course, there are plenty of other options:

• Personalized Poker Chips

• Personalized Mint and Candy Tins

• Flashing Dice Pin
