Casino Party: What To Serve?

Elizabeth Micenko • September 28, 2017

Pittsburgh Casino Parties are a wonderful way to host an entertaining evening that is suitable for private parties , corporate events , and fundraisers . There are a number of themes that you can use to that are suited to a casino theme, such as Vegas, Monte Carlo, or even “The Rat Pack,” or you can personalize the theme to suit your particular event.

One major aspect of planning a Casino Party is the food. Before you decide on the food that you want to serve, you will have to decide which type of menu suits you best. Basically, there are three options: a sit-down dinner, finger foods/snacks, or a cocktail party. The following are a basic explanation of the three as well as some ideas of how to implement them at your Casino Party:

Cocktail Party – A cocktail party is perfectly suited for an evening event, and usually features cocktails chosen for the party rather than simply beer and wine. Cocktail Casino Parties tend to be more formal in dress, and the cocktail menu can range from a simple open bar to special drinks that are chosen for the party. With a Cocktail Casino party, you can get creative with the drink menu names, choosing those that best suit your theme. It is also a good idea to have finger foods/snacks on hand, as well as non-alcoholic beverages for those who don’t wish to drink.

Sit-Down Dinner – This is generally for a more formal evening, such as wedding showers or corporate events, where guests are able to spend one-on-one time with each other before enjoying the games . Generally the dinner is a separate event from the Casino Party, often hosted in a separate room. When choosing a menu, be sure to take into account the number of guests as well as your budget, so that you can plan accordingly.

Finger Foods – This is a basic way of providing food along with your entertainment, and is most suited to when you are looking to make the Casino Games the center of the evening. There are a vast number of choices when it comes to choosing finger foods, from simple snacks to hors d’oeuvres.
