Hello!
 
In this issue of party possibilities, we continue to explore new themes and party concepts to celebrate milestone birthdays.  This month, the selected theme is 'It's a Big Deal' and the fun is in the casino entertainment and embellished with decor, food and drinks.  Take a look and tell me what you think.  To everyone who emailed last month, thank you for letting me know that 'A Newsworthy Occasion' was Headline News; you're the best!  If you missed the February issue, you may read it by clicking here.
 
Enjoy!
It's a Big Deal 
 
Celebrating a birthday is a big deal, whether your 5 or 50!  The party concept below is a fresh approach on a familiar theme. 
 
 
 
Up the Ante ... by inviting family and friends to play Roulette, Craps, BlackJack and Texas Hold'em.  No experience necessary; the dealers will show guests how to play.
 
Casino entertainment is great interactive fun, ideal for parties when you want everyone to mingle without lengthy introductions.
 
 
 
Feed a Full House ...with bite-size passed hors d'oeuvres!  Go beyond Clams Casino and select interesting familiar food. Fusions Cuisine recently prepared these hors d'oeuvres for my client's Mardi Gras & Casino party (and the guests are still raving!); see photos above:
 
Miniature Crab Cakes with Smoked Onion Remoulade (L)
Roasted Tomato and Fennel Soup Shooter with Miniature Manchego Grilled Cheese (R)
Miniature Shrimp, Corn, and Cheddar Bread Pudding (no photo)
 
 
 
Hit the Jackpot ... with stylish tabletop decor!  Black and white suggests a sophisticated celebration; accents of red and gold make an impact.  Decorated Manzanita Branches is a popular decor trend.  It's easy (and affordable) to make your own.  Click here for a DIY tutorial.
