You can plan your Las Vegas theme wedding even if you can't
actually get there. Who stops you from creating a themed
wedding extravaganza right where you are? All it takes is a
little shopping and a lot of imagination. And you can create
an evening, full of fun for all that come.
The Vegas theme invitation
You don't have to wait for the reception to show your
intentions for a Vegas theme. Start off with an invitation
that looks like a betting ticket or includes a few playing
cards with the invitation details. You might also want to
create an invitation that looks like something from one of
the hotels or casinos.
The ceremony
For the wedding ceremony, you can create the ambience of a
Vegas chapel. All you need to do is go online and have a
look at some Vegas chapels. You will get plenty of ideas to
decorate the venue exactly like a Vegas chapel.
Alternatively, you can throw in a lot of black and red
colors in the shape of playing cards and you will achieve
the desired effect. Also, add some flashing lights for a
Vegas taste.
Try using the red and black of playing cards as the main
colors of the ceremony. It's classy and not overdone. You
can be more flashy at the reception.
The reception
At the reception you can play the Vegas theme with gay
abandon. Decorate the venue with casino flavored
decorations. All you need to do is spread poker chips and
cards on the tables, or give different hotel or casino names
to each table. Make the place cards like the casino tickets
or playing cards with the guests name in the center.
To keep up with the theme, think of giving playing cards or
chocolate poker chips as favors to your guests.
Alternatively, you might want to give music compilations of
Vegas related music with the date and couple's name on the
front.
The cake
Get your cake in the shape of a slot machine or a casino
blackjack table. You will get any number of ideas for cakes
from pictures of casinos and with a little ingenuity you can
give the perfect shape to your wedding cake.
The music
Your Vegas wedding will not be complete without Vegas style
music. Make sure you have loud and boisterous music, just
like the city, Las Vegas. If you like, you may want to go
with a lounge singer for the real Vegas feel.
Have a karaoke contest and get everyone to be a lounge
singer for a while.
And for the couple's honeymoon, go to Las Vegas. It's the
perfect ending without having to bring everyone with you!
