After 35 years of throwing hundreds of events, we’ve answered countless questions about casino parties. One of the most common questions our event planners get is what people should wear (or not wear) to a casino party or fundraiser. The answer to that question all depends on what type of casino party you’re throwing.

Below are some of the most popular casino party themes and appropriate apparel for each occasion.

Check the casino’s website to see if they have a dress code, which will help you decide what would be appropriate to wear. For example, the casino may have a black tie policy or have a vintage feel. You could also ask the other people in your party what they plan to wear so you can pick an outfit that fits in.

Dressing for a Corporate Casino Party

We throw corporate casino parties on a regular basis and most of them have a similar dress code. The attire typically ranges from business to business casual clothing. Basically what you’d wear on casual Friday is acceptable, but if you want to go a little dressier than you would in the office that’s fine too. It’s okay to unbutton your collar, just remember to keep it professional.

Another consideration is whether there will be guests from outside the office attending. When clients, vendors and partners are invited to the corporate casino party then the attire is usually a little more buttoned up. That way people have fun but it stays somewhat professional.

Whatever dress code you want to go with at a corporate casino party, the organizer should send out an email or notice to all employees letting them know what to wear.
