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.

Weenie Roast Party IdeasIn Feburary 2016 03,
In Feburary 2016 03,
The main food at a wienie roast is of course, hot dogs. It's a good idea to have a variety of hot dogs available as some people may not eat certain kinds of meat or have dietary restrictions. Hot dogs to have on hand include beef, turkey, kosher, veggie dogs. Include some seasoned or spicy sausages as well such as Polish sausage or hot links. Set up a toppings bar that includes a wide variety of items such as ketchup, onions, barbecue sauce, relish, peppers, a selection of mustards, tomatoes, shredded cheese and chili. Provide several different types of hot dogs as well buns such as white, whole wheat and potato bread.
Other Food
Serve sides often served at outdoor barbecues such as coleslaw or potato salad. Chips and salsa and fruits and vegetables are also ideal sides. Include ranch or blue cheese dip. Fruit can be skewered and roasted over the fire as well. For dessert, bring out marshmallows for everyone to roast, as well as graham crackers and chocolate to make s'mores. Look for flavored marshmallows such as chocolate and strawberry-flavored if possible.
Entertainment
If you are at a campsite bring along a battery-operated radio or CD player to listen to music during the party. Ask people to tell funny stories or scary stories around the fire. If you're worried about running out of things to talk about, create a list of interesting questions and go around and ask everyone in the circle. Ask questions that require more than yes or no, such as 'Where would you go if you could go anywhere in the world?' or 'If you had a month to live what would you do?'
Games
Activities don't only have to include sitting around the campfire. Children can play sack-race relays, have a beanbag toss or play board games such as chess and checkers. For adults, play games like 'Questions,' in which you have to answer a question by asking someone else a question and so forth. If you answer the question, you're out for that round. Another game everyone could play requires each person to have three pins on her shirt. Inform everyone that they can't say the word hot dog, wienie, wiener or sausage. If someone catches you saying the word, he gets to steal your pin. The person with the most pins at the end of the night wins.
