The Theme of the prom was "Casino Royale."
I had a green tablecloth about the color of the green felt in casinos, so we were off to a good start. The dollar section of Target had cheap playing cards, so I didn't have to worry about my good bridge cards being messed up. I found poker chips and dice and some gambling themed napkins. I taped the napkins together to make a "runner."
Here are some pictures:
My neighbor gave me roses from her yard for my centerpiece.
I taped felt squares to make a runner for my small buffet.
Cupcakes made from mix with green icing and fondant "poker chips" were on the small buffet.
On my mantle, I put cards and poker chips around candlesticks as you can see behind my daughter and her date.
I used red plastic serveware from Walmart.
Tomorrow for Foodie Friday, I will share my menu for the post-prom breakfast. :D Jewel
What an original and fun idea! Love how you did the chips. Your daughter is beautiful!...Christine

Not every mom would go to all the trouble to create such a wonderful memory for her daughter. Proms are milestones in our lives and I'd be willing to be that this table and all the love you poured into it will be something she never forgets.
