I hope to get all of the recipes mentioned here on the Food and Festivities blog very soon.If Lady Luck is on your guest list, we’re willing to bet that a casino themed party is in the cards. We love to hear him sing and play guitar…definitely the highlight of the evening. 😉 The entertainment for the evening was one of my oldest and dearest friends, Greg Ashby. One of those that kind of sneaks up on you. For appetizers I made Spicy Rosemary Maple Bar Nuts, Retro Cheese Spread, Caramelized Onion Dip and a meat and cheese tray including my favorite Stuffed Salami! Sides included Bacon and Jalapeno Deviled Eggs, Best Ever Picnic Slaw, and one of my BFF Lynn’s, Butterfinger Grape Salad…that’s right, I said Butterfinger…soooo good! And to top it all off this delectable Chocolate Casino Cake♠♣♥♦ The cocktail of the evening was my own creation….Wild Jacks! It was totally delicious and pretty potent. I got everything on Amazon…really cute stuff and very inexpensive. I also got casino themed paper lanterns and hanging decorations and a bunch of other fun casino items. For decorations I ordered 12 inch square white boxes and black dot stickers to make giant dice and huge 11×17 playing cards to use as table decorations. We also had Tip Boards, Corn Hole, and a Candy Jar guessing game.

We had them all set up with cards, poker chips, dice, LCR(Left, Center, Right) dice game, and Farkle. I got green felt poker tables cloths for all of the tables. I had the main dishes catered and I made a cocktail, appetizers, sides, and dessert and had fun with the decorations. Ultimately, we decided to have a Casino Party! It was so much fun for everyone, regardless of age! I wanted to spend my time and energy on decorations and the cake! Normally I kill myself trying to do everything before a big party so this time I decided to compromise. My son just graduated from college….YAY….congrats Evan!! And since I LOVE to throw parties, especially theme parties, we deliberated…or rather I bugged him, until he settled on a theme.
