If you are serving or allowing guests to bring alcohol, always make sure that there is food, water and other non-alcoholic beverages available at all times.

Make sure you have plenty of napkins to go around too, you don't want the cards to get marked or dirty!



Here's an awesome cupcake display if you're feeling adventurous too!




How often do you host poker nights? Do you provide snacks, or does everyone bring something?

Poker Man Caves

Let's talk man caves. Whether you're a lady or a man, you've been in one at some time. While they are gaining in popularity over the recent years, man caves are the ultimate guy hangout - custom built according to what you're into.

Throughout this blog post you will find some great poker or casino themed man caves that we loved - like the one below - it's simple, yet effective. There's plenty of room for multiple poker games to happen, and not a lot of distractions on the walls.











Man Cave building tips:

- Find a focal point for your man cave.  Your focal point can be your beloved TV, workbench, trophy case, audio system, putting green or just about anything that you are passionate about.  Your focal point will help you decide on your theme.

- Once you have your focal point, figure out where you want to place it in the room. This allows you to plan around your focal point to complete your room plan.


When building your man cave, be sure to carefully think of the area in your home that you are choosing, any furniture, your budget, and any additional decor or items you will need.

There is tons of inspiration online to help you theme, build and design your perfect area. If you're doing a poker themed man cave, check out our website for items to help fill it- we have poker tables, chips, dice, and much more.
