"Viva Las Vegas!" - Vegas Party Ideas -

Next week the boyfriend and I are heading to Las Vegas and I can’t event begin to tell you how excited I am! It’ll be his first time there and my first time since I was about 12. But it got me thinking of course of parties! Vegas party themes are pretty popular for birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and even weddings. So I thought, why not give my readers so awesome ideas on how to throw a Vegas themed party. Last week on Facebook I shared some awesome Vegas party ideas on how to plan for the perfect Vegas party – everything from invitations, decor, and of course dessert! First up – invitations.
Any good party starts with the invitations. There are so many directions you can go when it comes to Vegas themed invites. Think of the mood you’re going for. Destination trip? Slot Machine? Full on old time classic Vegas? There’s so much that you can but remember that the invitation is the first thing your guests will see. This creates expectations for what you’re guests will be expecting when they arrive on the day of your party. Here are some ideas:

After the invitations have been set, now it’s time to focus on those decorations. Again, look back at those invites and then take everything one step further. When it comes to a Vegas theme, think of what you’ll see in Vegas – feathers, playing cards, dice, chips, etc. Use these elements to build your party. And have no fear, when it comes to anything Vegas, you can never have too much. After all, Vegas is known for it’s overindulgence. Check out some of these decor ideas for you party:

Now we’ve covered the invitations and decorations so let’s talk dessert. Vegas is “sin city” and what’s more “sinful” than dessert! Dessert tables are continuing to be all the rage and your guests will love it! A handful of desserts is all you need (3-4). Cookies, cakes, and pops can all be customized to match your party theme and create a big impact. Check out the ideas below :
