Decide on your location. Your own home or backyard is an option for a smaller party. A fundraiser for a larger crowd will need a bigger venue. Contact your local recreation center or school to find a room to rent.
Send emails, social-networking invites or regular-mail invitations to everyone on your guest list. However you get the word out, be sure to include a date that people need to reply by. When you know how many people are planning on attending the casino night, your final party planning will be more accurate. If you are renting gaming tables, knowing the approximate head count is especially important.
Decorate the room with black, white and green balloons and paper products. Add streamers from the door frames and hang large cutouts of dice and playing cards from a party supply company (see Resources). The rest of the decor can come from the tables and games themselves, since most of the furniture in the room will be replaced with casino night items. You can also rent black velvet table covers with the game designs printed on top.
Plan out the casino night games. Some ideas include poker, blackjack, roulette and craps. Have rule info on hand for the dealer to refer to in case of any disputes. Rent, or purchase, the appropriate setups and supplies.
Serve bite-sized food on small paper plates or napkins. Steer clear of sloppy foods and choose instead basic appetizers such as chips and nuts. You can limit the amount of alcohol guests drink, or at least cut your costs, by handing out one or two drink tickets at admission. Guests who want to drink more can purchase additional beverages. Provide nonalcoholic options such as water, iced tea, coffee or soda.
Hand out awards or prizes throughout the night. You can have a prize for the best poker hand and one for the worst hand. Give the biggest loser a gift, and place a sticker on the bottoms of random chairs for a chance at a small door prize.

How to Plan a Party for 200 PeopleIn Feburary 2016 06,
In Feburary 2016 06,
Come up with a budget. A party for 200 people, catered or not, is going to cost a lot of money. Decide how much you have to spend, then designate the amounts accordingly.
Find a location. Unless you live in a mansion, you probably don't have room for 200 people at your home. Find a conveniently located venue that is within your budget and can hold a large number of people.
Decide on a theme, if desired. Some popular themes include tiki, Hawaiian, pirates, black tie, disco or '80s. Use this theme to organize the decorations, invitations and food choices.
Organize your food and drink options. This may be one of the difficult parts of planning a party for large groups. Catering might be the easiest way to do this, as you can simply tell the catering company how many guests you have, and they will provide the food and drink accordingly. If you want to save a little money, you can provide the food and drinks yourself. A general rule of thumb is to have 1 lb. of food per person, plus dessert and beverages.
Send out the invitations. There are a variety of ways to do this, including traditional paper invitations, personal e-mails or an online invitation service. Sent the invitations out about 4 weeks before the party to give your guests ample time to RSVP.
Choose your entertainment. Hire a live band or DJ, or set up a CD player with a variety of music. Also consider using a karaoke machine.
Set up early. Give yourself at least three hours. Get to the venue early, check in with the caterers and entertainment to be sure everything is on time and ask for help from friends and family to set up.
