If you're planning a poker party, you've probably thought out the basics - a deck of cards, a nice table, a group of fun players. But if you want your party to be a standout, a few key additions can make all the difference. You can pick up some essentials from a poker party supply store online. Try decorating the room with giant cards or hanging up red, white, and black streamers to set a casino-like ambiance. Look for house or upbeat jazz music to get everyone in a light, easygoing mood. Little details such as play money napkins can make your party even more festive. Lighting is a good way to set the mood. Bright but toned-down lighting works best for casual parties. Try hanging up lighted dice or simply lay a dice cutout over your old lamp. If you're feeling particularly festive, you can even hang up blinking lights to go with the music.
