Invitations with a casino theme.

[geordieminx]

I'm getting married later in the year and are thinking of making evening invitations, as instead of a traditional night time do we are going to a casino.

I had thought about something like tthese from ebay stuck onto a pre-folded invitation, but tbh the only bit from that pack I like is the hand of cards, and to make 20-25 invites is going to turn out rather costly.

I am probably ok to make them - its just I dont have an arstic imainagtion and havent got a clue what I could do instead on a similar theme?

Any suggestions would be gratefully received. I have thought about just buying normal evening reception invites, but its not really a reception, and most of the words kinda point to that, I dont want to mislead people. By making our own we can print inside exactly what we are doing. IYKWIM?

You could buy a pack of cards and have the invitation printed and put on one side of the card. Perhaps think about James Bond style invites on Tuxedo shaped invites? Oceans eleven, that type of thing.
A large roulette wheel could be one side of the invite to.

Ooo the card idea is good - would be a bit of a mare to get paper printed the right size to stick to the back... was thinking 3 cards stuck together in a fan shape for each invite?

Plastic poker chips are cheap as er, other chips, and would look v. striking glue-gunned onto a piece of dark card (dark green, like the baize on the gaming tables, for example)

You could also get personalised chips, with your names/date etc. Some ideas for that kind of thing here:

Have managed to get 2 packs of playing cards from asda for 50p... not sure what I'm gonna do with them but at 50p I couldnt resist
