It's hard to believe but last month my husband and I celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary! I really don't feel old enough to have reached such a milestone, surely I'm too young! However, and despite my delusion, we celebrated in style with a casino party at our house, provided by the fabulous chaps at
www.moonlightfuncasinos.co.uk. They provided us with 2 full size tables - a blackjack table and my favourite the roulette wheel.
You know what it's like - you have a party and end up worrying about people enjoying themselves, everyone having a drink and preparing food. But this time, I was so lucky. The most gorgeous food was provided by "Gourmet Gandy" aka Andrew White at White's Private Dining. I didn't have to worry about a thing, he provided us with both hot and cold plates as well as the most amazing plates of profiterole towers. Everyone loved the food so much there were no leftovers for us the next day......... how disappointing :-)
Anyway, back to the casino........ Steve at Moonlight Casinos gave us a big pile of "funny money" that had been personalised with our photo and the party date and as the guests arrived I acted as Casino Front of House and handed everyone a note which they then exchanged at the tables for chips. Let me tell you, gambling with chips that aren't real money is sooo liberating and just the best fun. At the end of the evening we gave a prize (which happened to be a big swirly lolly from The Sweet Shop) to the winner who was the person with the most chips.
We're itching to do the whole thing again, maybe a fund raising night with our Casino boys....... watch this space for an invitation!
