I also found some chocolates wrapped in poker chip wrappers (geez I think at the dollar store of all places!). Had tons of finger foods and several flavors of jell-o shots.

Hi Janenga,

Can you give me some specifics on this party. How did the night progress? Did people start playing before your husband arrived? What type of finger foods did you serve? Did you give everyone chips to play with? How did you figure out who would be the dealer? I read on another site that the hostess would give bonus chips to people as an incentive to deal. What type of decorations did you use? TIA.

Judi
