Planning
a Vegas Themed Wedding

Vegas
Themed Wedding Extravaganza
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
The first
step in wedding planning is the invitation. Announce your
intentions for a Vegas theme in the invitation itself. Create an
invitation that looks like a betting ticket or a card that
includes a few playing cards with the invitation details. Your
invitation card can even look like something from one of the
hotels or casinos.
The
ceremony
How about
decorating the venue of the wedding ceremony like a Vegas
chapel? That will provide the perfect backdrop for the themed
wedding ceremony. If you need more ideas you can go online to
see some of the chapels there. Otherwise, you can just throw in
a lot of bright colors and 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 Vegas
theme reception
Here is
where the Vegas theme can really be played to the fullest
extent. Start with casino flavored decorations. You can spread
poker chips and cards on the tables, or make the tables a
different hotel or casino name. Make the place cards in the
style of 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 Vegas
style cake
Of
course, you would like to have the wedding cake in true Vegas
style, shaped like a slot machine or a casino blackjack table.
Do a bit of research and collect a few pictures of casinos. You
will get many ideas to create a unique and beautiful cake.
Theme
music
Vegas
music that is loud and boisterous will provide the exact effect
of a Vegas wedding. After all, you are transporting the
atmosphere of the city to your home, which is best done with its
characteristic music. If you don't like all the noise, you can
have a lounge singer for the real Vegas feel.
Have a
karaoke contest and get everyone to be a lounge singer for a
while.
Last, but
not the least, go to Las Vegas for your honeymoon after a grand
Vegas wedding, and enjoy the city without having to bring
everyone with you!
