A couple hookers, a strung-out Bad Santa, and a donkey comes to mind but that was our Christmas party at the Hyatt hotel last year. How about everything I mentioned except the Bad Santa. (He is curently in prison on unrelated charges).
how fun! A straight flush birthday cake..sheet cake with the cards printed on in edible frosting...lots of poker chips...use a poker table.. or oval table...felt table cloths... ...serve drinks from round cocktail trays..
here is a FAVORITE recipe...
Buffalo chicken dip!
INGREDIENTS
2 (10 ounce) cans chunk chicken, drained
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup Ranch dressing
3/4 cup pepper sauce, such as Franks? Red Hot?
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 bunch celery, cleaned and cut into 4 inch pieces
1 (8 ounce) box chicken-flavored crackers
DIRECTIONS
Heat chicken and hot sauce in a skillet over medium heat, until heated through. Stir in cream cheese and ranch dressing. Cook, stirring until well blended and warm. Mix in half of the shredded cheese, and transfer the mixture to a slow cooker. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, cover, and cook on Low setting until hot and bubbly. Serve with celery sticks and crackers.
I don't know what kind of Poker-we always play Hold'em. I would try and get some poker tables or the table tops anyway. You can get decorations at a party planning store. I would get a huge sub from Subway or Tubbys or you can make one. Lots of dips and chips and appetizers--in other words, finger foods work best for poker games. Nothing too sloppy.
Have fun, sounds like a blast.
finger foods,chips,dips, pretzels,peanuts and of course strippers
Keep food simple {finger foods but not saucy or too greasy}cause they are playing cards. Plenty of ice cold beer and maybe a btl. of rye or scotch with ice cubes.Napkins with 40 on them would be good. Make sure you have a poker chip set and a good flat table with plenty of elbow room. Send hubby to the store to fetch you a list of things {more than one destination is always good}and make sure the buddies either taxi it over or park their cars away from your place, and get there on time! Good luck and have fun!
Food: use a potato peeler to score vertical lines in yellow zuccini and green cucumbers. Now cut into disks to make 'edible poker chips!' Serve with dip.
