Poker Party-Bring On The Cards And The Fun

Poker is fast becoming one of the most popular recreational activities, with over half of the population saying that they play on a regular basis, so it is no wonder many people are hosting a poker party of their own. Once the domain of men folk, women are joining in the game, and making Poker their own, and poker parties are no longer beer and cold cut nights out spent with the boys. There are ways you can host your own poker party, combine the likes and dislikes of players of both genders, and have great poker parties for everyone.

In terms of poker parties, it is usually best to stick to the basics, add a little finesse, and make this type of party appeal to everyone there. Of course the activity is built right in, so pre-planned activities are inherent to the party itself. You will need a large table and chairs, or even several smaller tables, if the guest list is long. Consider having tips printed up and including them with invitations, if you have included guests who are not as familiar with the game. You will need standard playing cards, and some form of currency. Whether you use chips, counterfeit coins, or pennies, the aim should be fun and the stakes should be small.

Beer is the standard poker drink, but if you would like you can include non-alcoholic beverages, bottled water, and wine. Individual pizzas, premade party size submarine sandwiches, chips, or other finger foods keep the menu simple and easy, and maintain the informality of poker night tradition, insuring your poker party is a success.
