Design of invitations
Regular invitations on paper or in instant messengers are boring! For the party to be successful, the mood should be created in advance. Invitations designed in the form of playing cards or gaming chips will help with this. The original version of the invitation is cardboard folded in the shape of a game cube.
You can also print original invitation cards to Las Vegas, decorating the envelopes with gold and monograms. They should indicate the venue, contacts and dress code.
Design and decoration of the room
In order to give the room the appearance of an impromptu gambling house, it is necessary to hang thick curtains or drapes of dark colors on the windows so that daylight does not penetrate into the room. You should lay a plain carpet on the floor; on the walls you can hang pictures of playing cards, dice, various slot machines and posters with a view of Las Vegas at night.
There should be several tables in the room, on which you need to lay a red or green cloth. They will be able to play card games, dice, dominoes and lotto. Don’t forget about the main symbol of the casino – roulette; it is also necessary for holding a themed party. A mini roulette can be purchased at a gift and game store.
It is also worth taking care of tables for dishes, drinks and cutlery. The room where the party will be held should have enough chairs, soft sofas and armchairs where guests can relax between games and just chat.
Dress code
What to wear to such an event? The classic option is a luxurious outfit. For ladies - a floor-length dress with a neckline, sequins, lace, as well as high-heeled shoes. You can dilute the look with accessories - sparkling jewelry, gloves, a hat with a veil.
For men, a suit, tuxedo or just a neat vest with a shirt is suitable. Be sure to have polished shoes and noticeable accessories - signets, rings, canes and watches.
Guests should focus on the “Bond and Bond Girl” style, however, at the request of the host of the evening, the outfits can be more pompous if the theme of the evening revolves around the era of the 40-50s.
Corporate event in Casino Royale style
| A corporate event in the style of Casino Royale is one of the most interesting corporate event themes presented in our magazine! |
When organizing any festive event, you increasingly want to escape from routine and everyday life. Choosing “Bond” as the central theme will allow you to forget about the daily hustle and bustle and plunge into the world of spy passions and luxurious life. Well, “Casino Royale” will allow you to add more excitement to the event scenario. But in order for everything to turn out “like in the movies,” you need to carefully prepare. What needs to be done? The editors of eventspro offer an approximate action plan:
- We choose a venue, think through the design and furnishings.
- We develop a script - performances, games, competitions, guest artists and presenters.
- We send out invitations (in which we indicate the dress code and some additional information, if required by the evening’s scenario).
- We make a menu, order cake and sweets.
Adhering to our plan, we will work through each point in detail. It is clear that the capabilities of the company, the city, and the time of year will make certain adjustments, but the basic tips and recommendations will be the same for everyone.
Where to hold a corporate event Casino Royale
It would seem that the choice is obvious - you need to look for a casino. But taking into account Russian legislation, doing this in most cases will be very problematic. Then what other options can you consider?
It could be:
- night club;
- restaurant;
- country club;
- motor ship;
- Palace of Culture;
- hotel.
All of them can be found in almost any city and for every taste, but since we have a specific theme, there are also certain requirements. We choose elite establishments with good cuisine and luxurious furnishings. Please pay attention to the presence of a stage or the possibility of organizing one - it will be useful for holding an entertainment program. We compare the expected number of guests with the size of the hall - if you can come up with interesting options with a large room, then we dismiss the small ones right away (although a lot depends on the number of participants and the entertainment program). It’s better if the establishment has its own territory and that evening it will belong only to you.
By the way, even though casinos are now prohibited, some restaurants and clubs use casino items, such as gaming tables, as design elements; such an establishment will suit your theme perfectly.
We issue invitations
Having received them, guests should immediately understand that they will not be attending an ordinary reception. Use encryption and messages with the inscription “Secret”, invisible ink or code words - most importantly, do not forget to attach everything necessary to read them. You can start with the task of determining the place and time of the event. It is better to choose the design as laconic as possible, in black and white. The corresponding inscriptions and black and white graphics will fit perfectly into the theme of the evening.
A bow tie, a pistol, a silhouette of a man in a hat, a magnifying glass - any element from the life of a spy will be a sufficient decoration. If you are confident in the erudition of your colleagues, write the text in English. And don't forget to include the invitation cards in the envelopes!
Below are examples of how some establishments solved this problem:
You can also send messages by email with an appropriate header.
Transport
In the vast majority of corporate events, the issue of transport comes down to how the event participants will get to the event site and how to get home. If the budget and status of the enterprise allows, then the organization often takes on these concerns, that is, employees do not have to be puzzled by such issues: they are taken from their homes and taken to their homes.
If the latter applies to your business, consider providing prestigious transportation to transport guests to your event! The ideal solution could be a spacious limousine (or several limousines).
Competent executives and PR managers are very sensitive to the issue of corporate image, hence the desire to hold stylized corporate events! And where there is a thematic event, there is always a photographer, whose photographs the next day will be replete with all possible platforms used by the company: pages on social networks, corporate website, and so on.
The theme of “Bond” or “Casino Royale” is a great chance to take excellent corporate photos, which means that the style should be maintained in the smallest details, that is, in transport.
As for the head of the corporate event, he is the main character, the leader of the enterprise, so a few excellent photos against the backdrop of a sports car will clearly not interfere with personal or corporate prestige.
We welcome guests
At the entrance or staircase, guests are greeted by security guards conducting searches. They may require you to say a password or show a symbol without which further passage is prohibited. Inside, a helpful cloakroom attendant will help them remove their outerwear and accept umbrellas, hats and other themed items. Next, waiters with champagne on trays escort you into the hall and indicate places at the tables.
You can also organize scenarios with entry through the back door/emergency exit, through the passages for personnel. Traditional for spy themes are simulated kidnappings of guests. As an option, you can specify a meeting point, from where luxury limousines will take guests directly to the party location.
Dress code
One of the most important moments of any thematic event! The dress code is always announced in advance and failure to comply may even result in a refusal to attend the event!
For women
When choosing an outfit, we focus on the image of a “Bond girl.” Floor-length evening dresses of simple silhouettes, made of silk, lace or velvet. The classic option is a little black dress. Cocktail dresses are also acceptable. High-heeled shoes and luxury jewelry or high-quality and expensive jewelry.
Simple elegant hairstyles with smooth hair or luxurious styles with loose straight hair, sophisticated makeup. No everyday bags - only miniature clutches. And under no circumstances should you do anything flashy or vulgar!
For men
A great opportunity to try on the image of the most famous super spy. We choose a classic three-piece suit or tuxedo, club jacket. A plain, preferably snow-white, shirt with a tie. Classic boots. Neat hairstyle.
As a visual illustration, we demonstrate costumes directly from the standard:
It would be a good idea for both men and girls to complement their look with various accessories - a hat with a veil, a cigarette holder, a cane, a hat. Depending on the level of elaboration of the style, sometimes stacks of counterfeit money, magnifying glasses, walkie-talkies, flashlights, revolvers or any other spy accessories may be appropriate as props.
How to decorate a room
The design of the room directly depends on the audience, its age, budget and, of course, the desires of the team. So, for example, if a corporate event is organized for a very young team with a small budget, then the level of aspirations of the participants is lower, and the assumptions in the design are higher.
In this case, the room will certainly be simpler and posters on the walls with scenes from James Bond films, elements of a casino and spy style - laid out chips, revolvers, notes with codes, sunglasses and hats, cigars, an imitation safe - will be appropriate in the design. in the wall - in a word, everything that you associate with agent 007.
We choose the color scheme black-red-gold, perhaps with splashes of white. Crystal chandeliers and dishes, small round tables with wine-red or snow-white tablecloths, golden draperies of curtains - all this will allow guests to plunge into the atmosphere of a Bond film from the very threshold.
For a more discerning audience, additional decoration may not be necessary. Walking inside the luxurious restaurant, guests will find a classically decorated space, a gaming area with roulette, poker tables and other attributes of a casino or their imitation. Waiters in formal suits will serve drinks and light snacks.
Agree, with this option, any additional elements in the form of posters and pistols will be clearly superfluous and will even spoil the surroundings.
Creating an atmosphere
To make the evening fun and dynamic, it is better to invite presenters or assign this role to one of the employees in advance, again depending on the budget and requirements.
Fully immersed in the theme of the evening, you need to take care of the service staff - their behavior and appearance play an important role. Waiters dressed as casino workers; beautiful waitresses. The hosts of the evening are dressed like from the Oscars.
Discuss the course of the event with the guests in advance, since it is their behavior that largely determines the atmosphere of the evening. Unhurried quiet conversations with periodic suspicious glances around or general noisy conversation? Restrained and calm or, on the contrary, a dynamic and alarming environment? All this depends only on the behavior of those present.
Organizing an area for photography with instant printing of pictures and the additional props available in it will delight guests and allow them to create their own unique images.
Scenario
You can propose a wide variety of subjects for the evening program. Mysterious missions, recruiting new employees, testing spy skills - focus on the film and the options will appear on their own. Guests can be entertained with competitions for the best themed costume, the fastest deciphering of messages, and much more. So that none of the guests are left sadly standing in a corner, you can organize various auctions and lotteries, and a game of forfeits.
Traditionally, entertainment at such a party includes roulette, poker and mafia. Card games such as preference, bridge, screw and blackjack would also be appropriate. You can either set up a gaming area yourself, purchasing all the necessary equipment and accessories, or order an off-site casino. Just remember that it is illegal to play for money today! Therefore, all your games should be just for fun.
If there is enough space, then you can organize moving competitions - walking between stretched ropes, throwing darts, for the best dance in the Bond style, and so on. The winners will receive the title of Mr. and Mrs. Bond and will award Oscars to all guests at the end.
If desired, the whole evening can be organized as a quest based on one of the Bond films. In this case, guests should be introduced to possible roles in advance and stocked with the necessary equipment - walkie-talkies, special ink and flashlights, spy cameras. You can easily find detailed descriptions of such games on the Internet.
Inviting magicians and illusionists, dance groups and popular performers will help diversify the program. Bartender shows and dance master classes, lessons in playing bridge, screw and blackjack will allow guests to find entertainment for every taste.
You can end the evening by organizing a fireworks display or fire show.
Music
When choosing music for the evening, you can’t do without the most famous soundtracks to Bond films over the years. Here is a partial list of them:
- James Bond Theme
- From Russia with Love
- Live and Let Die
- Goldfinger
- Thunderball
- You Only Live Twice
- Nobody Does it Better
- For Your Eyes Only
- A View To A Kill
- The Living Daylights
- Tomorrow Never Dies
- Die Another Day
- Another Way to Die
- Skyfall
- You Know My Name
To understand the atmosphere that these soundtracks provide, we suggest you listen to the most famous ones:
Garbage: the world is not enough
Adele: skyfall
Madonna: die another day
In addition to them, jazz or soul, as well as classic rock, are suitable as musical accompaniment. Don't forget about dance music - retro hits and romantic ballads will definitely find their fans.
If a performer or musical group is invited to entertain guests, the choice is determined by their repertoire.
Treat
When choosing a treat, you need to decide what exactly we are organizing - a traditional banquet or a buffet that fits more into the theme.
A variety of canapés, tartlets, mini-rolls, and snacks on skewers are suitable for a buffet table.
| If you thought that light snacks may not be enough or they are not so filling, our review of canapés will convince you that a buffet table presented with light snacks can easily serve guests until the very end of the corporate party: “Canapés for the festive table“ . |
When organizing a banquet, it is better to focus on one national cuisine - English, French or any other in accordance with the preferences of the guests and organizers.
The snack should be light and varied - all kinds of cheeses, handmade sweets, small sandwiches. Pay attention to the appearance and presentation of the dishes - they can be turned into elements of the casino environment or presented in the form of small shows. And finally, a cake made to order and designed in the style of the party.
Alcohol is only elite and expensive. Drinks include champagne and Bond's traditional martini. It is better to offer fine wines to women, and rum, whiskey or brandy to men. Don't forget about non-alcoholic drinks - juices, mineral water should be in sufficient quantities.
Gifts for colleagues
You can limit yourself to choosing traditional gifts, but it will be more interesting if they support the theme of the evening. In this case, you can present magnet chips, chocolate wrapped in the form of gold bars or wads of money, flash drives and Bond-style pens.
Well, if you have something to thank your colleagues for (for example, for the success of the company and excellent work), organize the presentation of gifts in various categories, read our article about this: “Awards at a corporate party - comic nominations and not only...”

Choosing a room and its design
Choosing a venue for a casino-themed party starts with the number of guests. The more participants the event, the larger the hall required.
A small meeting can be organized even at home by covering a large table with a velvet tablecloth and choosing dim lighting (for example, using LED lamps). The ideal design is in red, green or black and white (you can use garlands from card decks).

If there are a lot of people, it is better to rent a place in advance where there is a pool table or roulette. It is also worth considering the presence of a relaxation area, additional seats, a dance floor, buffet tables and a photo area.
If you hold a party outdoors, you can invite water, circus, fire show artists, or organize fireworks in honor of the host of the holiday - just like in a real casino.
Treats and drinks
With treats at an American party, everything is simple; fast food is the ideal solution. The tables should be littered with hamburgers and cheeseburgers, French fries, nuggets from different types of meat, chips, popcorn, hot dogs, and so on. An excellent dessert would be American apple pie, pudding, jelly or other local delicacy.
True admirers of American cuisine can have a barbecue near the pool or in the courtyard.
It’s even easier with alcoholic drinks; here they serve beer at every party. It is poured into special barrels, and more tubes are inserted into it, with the help of which it is bottled.
Also, don’t forget about punch; it is served in large plastic glasses.
It is worth noting that usually at such events they use bright disposable tableware; it is unbreakable and does not need to be washed at the end of the event.
Staff
There is no place in a casino without staff, because often it is the dealer who sets the tone for the gaming process. Even if the rules of the games are explained to the guests in advance, an experienced croupier will always help, explain the nuances and, on occasion, keep an eye on the cunning guests who have chosen the role of cheaters and schemers.
It is not necessary to invite a professional toastmaster to the holiday; you can appoint a croupier yourself. For example, it could be a guest who is trusted by the host of the evening and who is well versed in poker, American roulette, blackjack or baccarat.
Las Vegas style party photo
To summarize, I would like to say that the success of your party will depend only on careful preparation; you will need to think through everything thoroughly, take into account all the nuances, and calculate everything. Yes, this is not an easy job, but if you want your guests to remember your holiday for a long time, you will have to give your best. In general, use your imagination, add enthusiasm, positivity, kindness to your work and you will definitely succeed!

Place for a photo shoot
When throwing a casino themed party, many people rent a photo booth or mobile photo booth. Often such installations use decorations in the form of cards, roulette, dice and thematic inscriptions (“casino”, “fortune”, “777”). You can use balloons in the shape of card suits or simply in the color of the event (red, black, green).
Especially for guests, you can place a table with props near the photo zone: lace gloves, boas, glasses, cigars or carnival masks.

1) Decorate the room. To begin with, we lay a dark, plain carpet on the floor, and curtain the windows with thick, heavy curtains so that not a single ray of sunlight escapes. We decorate the walls with pre-prepared printed photographs of the city at night, paintings with illustrations of maps and bones. And 777 slot machines will be played for free by your friends. Then arrange two or three tables, covered with red and dark green tablecloths, and place games on them: lotto, cards, dominoes, dice, and of course, roulette, which you can buy in a souvenir shop. And 777 slot machines will be played for free by your friends. Don't forget about a table for food and drinks. Prepare a sufficient number of plates, forks and wine glasses in advance. Chairs, armchairs and sofas should be comfortable.
2) Strict Dress Code Warn your friends about the strict face control, rich and gambling young people should come to you. Girls should wear a luxurious evening dress, black, scarlet or white, with matching gloves and a beautiful shawl or fur cape. Luxurious jewelry should catch the eye: bracelets, necklaces, brooches, rings and chains. It is advisable to wear your hair in an elegant hairstyle. Men should wear formal suits, preferably black, shirts should be plain, preferably white, and a tie should be a bow tie. You can complement your look with an expensive watch, a cane, a hat or a cigar to play the Treasure Island slot machine.
3) Menu Your table will be a buffet table, so you can prepare tartlets, sandwiches, sausage and cheese slices, vegetable and fruit slices, small pieces of meat strung on a skewer are also acceptable. The drinks can be anything you want, but it’s better to diversify it, put a bottle of: skate, wine, champagne, whiskey and rum with ice. For those who do not drink alcohol - juice and mineral water. Their sweets are small cakes, cookies, gingerbread or cake - roulette.
4) Games As in any casino, you should have an atmosphere of risk and excitement. Buy or make cardboard tokens to hand out to guests upon entry. After playing cards, dice, dominoes and roulette during the evening, at the end of the evening, exchange the chips for small souvenirs, as a keepsake: these could be keychains, dice, notebooks and pens with a casino theme.
5) Memory Such a party will be remembered for a long time and is guaranteed to be a lot of fun. Be sure to take plenty of photographs for memory.
Menu and serving
Classic casino-style table design - a small space for a buffet with a large selection of light snacks, soft drinks and strong drinks. Chocolate fountains, punch bowls, fondue, pyramids of glasses and fruits, and ice cubes in original shapes will help create an atmosphere of luxury.
Much attention should be paid to glasses: they should be exquisite and varied - for different drinks. Cards can be used as coasters for glasses, and small portion plates can be made in the form of chips.

A good option for a buffet table would be small salty and sweet snacks: cupcakes with topping in the form of spades, clubs or three sevens, as well as canapés, puddings, fruit skewers, portioned meat snacks or tartlets.
Musical accompaniment
In a casino, music is of great importance because it relaxes and sets the mood. The ideal option is blues or jazz music, as well as performers from the 50s to 70s. A good choice would be songs by Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Judy Garland. From instrumental music, the atmosphere will be created by compositions by Gershwin, as well as soundtracks from thematic films (“Casino Royale”, “Ocean’s 11”, “Twenty One”, “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels”). Modern dance compositions are also appropriate if they are kept in a calm tone.
Entertainment
The main attraction at a casino-themed party is the gameplay itself! You should consider in advance what games people will play. The more varied the better. While some guests will play roulette, others will be able to scatter cards or take part in a competition. You can rent several slot machines, as well as stock up on themed board games (“Spin City”, “Mafia”). The main thing is to print out the rules of future games on beautiful paper in advance, so that you don’t have to explain this to the guests for a long time at the party itself.
It’s not worth playing for regular money in the format of an entertainment event. It's better to print fake currency, which guests can then exchange for cool prizes at the end of the party.
During the event, you can take a break for interesting competitions: “Miss Fortune”, “Mr. Lucky”, “Best Team”, “Best Casino Style Toast”. You can arrange small quests: find a marked card, assemble the tallest tower of chips, guess the location of a die under one of several glasses.
As prizes, you can prepare a new deck of cards, a bottle of delicious wine, as well as certificates of encouragement and souvenirs related to the theme of the casino.

Suits
Go ahead. Of course, to create a casino atmosphere, you need the appropriate outfit. Be sure to enter the dress code . Girls usually wear their best evening dresses, and men wear business suits. But you can add some zest to all this: girls can wear some nice hat , and men can wear a bow tie . This combination of outfits will add sophistication to your celebration. Agree, if you don’t introduce a dress code and everyone comes in what they like (for example, jeans and a sweater), then the atmosphere will be completely different and it’s unlikely that the party will be a success.
How to decorate a room?
Indeed, how can you call a party a themed party when there are no hints in the room where it is held? Creating the right environment is the most key point in the entire organization of the event.
1. Make sure there is a photographer . You can even prepare a special wall against which the shooting will take place. It is impossible to do without photographs at such a party. Guests will be photographed in any case, and if so, then let them be professional photographs in exceptional quality. Your guests will be immensely grateful to you.
carpet will help put guests in the right mood . Everyone will be happy to walk along it and feel their importance.
3. A large stand at the entrance is required, on which the name of the party will be placed. It can also be depicted in the form of a huge playing token or card.
4. Various thematic posters pasted on the walls will help complete the look.
In general, this is all, of course, you can come up with many more different interesting things for your guests, it all depends on your imagination, the main thing is not to deviate from the theme, then everything will definitely be first-class.
However, for those who have absolutely no imagination or simply don’t have time to think about it, let alone implement the event, you can invite special groups and creative teams who will be happy to do this. There are a lot of professionals in this business; you can even find those who specialize specifically in Las Vegas-style parties. Usually they already have a bunch of ideas, they will offer them to you, and you will choose what suits you best. They usually take care of the decoration of the premises, here you can completely relax and trust the professionals in their field. Sometimes they even have a transportable mini-casino , in which absolutely anyone can take part, but more on that later.
