Not everyone can afford to go to Las Vegas to have a Vegas
wedding. However, that doesn't stop them from having a Vegas
themed wedding wherever they are. You, too, can plan your
Vegas themed wedding with a little creativity. It sure will
make you and your guests remember the evening for a long
time to come.
The 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 Vegas chapel
If you're looking to create a Vegas theme during the actual
ceremony, you might be able to achieve this by decorating
like a Vegas chapel. You might be able to go online to see
if you can copy some of the chapels there, or you can just
incorporate bright colors and flashing lights for a Vegas
taste.
The red and black of playing cards create the right
atmosphere for the Vegas ceremony. Moreover, they look a
class apart from the flashy display of colors.
The reception
At the reception you can let your imagination fly and be as
flashy as you like. You can display the Vegas theme to the
fullest extent. With casino flavored decorations such as
poker chips and cards spread on the tables, and the tables
made on different hotel or casino names, you can create the
ambience of Vegas. Don't forget to 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
A Vegas style cake is the best addition to the themed
wedding. You might want to create a cake that is shaped
like a slot machine or a casino blackjack table. The ideas
are endless. Get a few pictures of casinos and look for
shapes that can work for a unique and great looking 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!
