Casion Night Addition from a friend

So I got this message from a friend on Facebook... GREAT IDEA!

From www.marthastewart.com

"hey so I checked out your blog and I saw you were thinking of doing a casino cocktail hour... wasn't sure if that was carrying over to to reception but I saw this really cute idea and thought you should know :)"


WAY CUTE!!! Maybe we will contnue the theme so that guest can sit down at their tables instead of having the cocktail hour in a different room... less to decorate... and we can do it classy :)

Casino Theme

My fiance loves poker and card games... we want this wedding to be a little bit of each of us. So why not have a casino theme cocktail hour. At a wedding of a family friend after waiting for what seemed like FOREVER for the bride and groom to come in from their pictures my brother said "I will have poker tables at my wedding" - I am getting married 1st so I hope you don't mind brother but I am stealing your idea. The good news is i will have the supplies for when its your turn.

I have not worked out all of the details just yet, but here is little bit of my research so far.
