[rl/yes I'm still alive, sorry I'm like this] plurk I'm enlisting your help with party ideas, details inside
Raye
so I found out recently that my boyfriend didn't go to his senior prom, bc at the time he was dating a girl who was incredibly physically and emotionally abusive
Raye
so
Raye
I want to throw him a prom
Raye
it's not going to be big, just a small living room thing with our friends. but I'm taking him out to dinner and surprising him with it by giving him an invitation to the prom
Raye
our friends will be setting up while we're out to eat
Raye
what I want y'all's help with is decoration/food/game ideas!!! it's going to have a casino theme bc he enjoys gambling
Raye
but we already plan on having lights, streamers, balloons, a makeshift photo booth type thing, a blackjack and poker table
Raye
we're gonna get a casino game for the Wii and PCs so that we can set up slot machines
Raye
so if anyone had any suggestions for things we could do or ways we could decorate, that would be hella

Omg that's so sweet!
thirty sickos.
I'm gonna think on this, okay :|a
Raye
I appreciate it!! he's so good, to me and in general, and he deserves to have these things he missed out

I feel I should be better at this. I WORK at a casino
Pen Again
but this is so cute!
Pen Again
hm. get fake chips and idk maybe monopoly money for your table games?
Pen Again
craps is v popular at our casino and would probably be an easy setup (area to play, the grid, two dice) but I have no idea how to play
Pen Again
serve mocktails or non alcoholic mixed drinks (to keep with prom being a hs thing) since cocktails/cocktail waitresses are a thing at casinos
Pen Again
or make your poker chips just chocolate coins
Raye
he actually owns a good ass poker set that we're gonna use, but I super like the craps idea! it'll be fun for all of us to learn it together
Raye
I appreciate all of yalls suggestions!!! pls keep them coming

Have some Rat Pack in the playlist. Karaoke of lounge songs could be fun, too. (I'd have to look up a list of lounge songs.) "Spiked" punch bowl is necessary for the Prom theme.
Raye
ooh yes! playlist suggestions are def a must, ty one roomie has already made it her mission to spike the punch bowl lmao

Food, I'd go with a buffet. Nothing to big, probably, but casinos in Vegas are well known for their buffets.

And, of course, a prom cake.

Make tinfoil stars or construction paper ones covered in glitter or w/e and put them on the walls to decorate
thirty sickos.
Write everyone's name on one so they can take it home with them as their prom souvenir

(this is a thing my high school did, I'm still thinking about casino - specific stuff)
