"Any great ideas for a "casino" "Poker" theme party...centerpieces? I have 20 glass vases 14" high and 6" wide at the opening...I am at a loss and was hopingsomeone may have an idea of two to share. Thank you and I love your site! Robin"





Show the world your art!> 













Fill the vases with poker chips, dice, playing cards, etc. put some "filler" in the vases first (a smaller jar, scrunched newspaper, whatever) so that you can use fewer chips, dice, etc. Just make sure that your items cover the filler so no one knows your secret.
Make a table runner with playing cards
Use green felt as your tablecloth
I'm not a gambler so thats all I can come up with on my limited poker knowledge. Good Luck! WOuld love to see pictures of the finished tables.

What about filling some of them with dice? Or layers of dice and poker chips? You could also line the inside with green felt (card table?) and fill with flowers. Or line the inside with cards or poker chips and fill with something fun!

You could try filling the vases with poker chips and colored marbles to you liking.
Then maybe hit the dollar store for some cheap decks of cards to make flowers...

I'm not sure if that helped... good luck!

Simple centerpiece. try floating orchids in water.. Instead of using vase filler such as sea glass or rocks to hold them down, use poker chips to fill the bottom. This makes it fun, festive, but still simple classy.

Fill the vases with your favorite red blooms then using those plastic card holders the florists gives you for free-- place a single playing card in it (instead of those "from" cards). Your flowers will look elegant while the card in the center will keep with your theme. Have fun!!

Don't know how fancy you want to get, but Oriental Trading has a "Poker" themed party set. But the other ideas are great!
You could use fake money as filler as well.
