Choose your Poker theme party purpose. Do you want a tournament or to celebrate a birthday? Or you could even do both at the same time! If you have a tournament, you can only use so many numbers of players and move up through a pyramid system to winning. Determine if you need an entry fee to cover chips or if each person decides on how much money they spend.

Invite your poker players with card invitations. Use oversized “cards” or simply the shape of a heart, a diamond, a club or a spade. These would all be available at the party supply store. They will also have all of the paper products needed if you will be serving food.

Poker theme products include plates, cup, napkins and tablecloths. Table pieces aren’t really needed since you need the space for card playing. Decorations can be minimal, or extravagant. Balloons in black and red, along with black and red streamers can add a dramatic effect to your theme. Add in a little gold to symbolize money, and you have an elegant look.

Food can be made into fun poker shapes. Cut sandwiches, brownies or anything else into shapes of the cards - hearts, diamonds, etc. Rename food dishes to coincide with your theme. Make Sloppy Joes into King of Spade sandwiches. Make it unique and people will talk about it for weeks after.

Remember to take pictures as people fall out of the tournament. Take a group picture to post on a website or to save and add to if you make it a yearly event. Another good idea would be to donate any profits to a local charity.

Do you have a sports fanatic who is celebrating a birthday, retirement or graduation? Pick one sport or use a combination of the three for a theme party to celebrate. There are many fun ways to decorate and entertain guests with a sports theme.

If you have chosen one sport to focus on, use a ball or tool from the game. If you are using a combination, use a grouping of all of the balls. Party planning stores will have any party supply necessary to host a great event. There will be ball shaped invitations, wall hanging, athlete posters and other decorations to coordinate.

Use a ball shaped invitation. Make all guests wear the jersey of their favorite team. You could add in a stipulation that it has to be pro or college. You could also pick which state is has to be from if you have friends who root for teams in rival states!

The games to play at your party would be of course the sport or sports being highlighted. You could also use a famous athlete that goes with the chosen sport and do guessing games. Guess his stats, pin the name on the backs of everybody and they have to gather clues and find out who they are, etc.

Food can be shaped into the ball of choice. Use foods like pizza dough bread, cookies and cake which are moldable and fun to eat. A football shaped pizza, basketball cookies or even a soccer ball cake!

Party favors can come in many forms. They could be personalized trophies or actual equipment from the sport. You could make gag awards and have everyone vote like the All Stars - Best Dropped Ball, Best Worst Play, etc. Have fun with them and be creative to keep everyone laughing and having a good time.

Take pictures next to star athlete posters and save them in a scrapbook.
