Girl's Night Out: Gourmet Poker Party Food Ideas

Move Over Guys! Girls Love Poker Too!

Poker isn't just for men. Girls like it too and the concept of Girl's-Only poker parties is spreading like wildfire. Hosting a girl's night out gourmet poker party can be a ton of fun. From frilly invitations to gourmet girlie food and "foo foo" drinks, it's easy to organize a poker party that unleashes your feminine side.

Once you decide on a date and time for your poker party, head over to evite.com and check out their poker party invitations. Choose from pre-made poker party invitation templates or create your own by uploading clipart or photos. The software is super easy to use. All you need to do is enter your name, the date, time and place of your party, then enter the email address of your guests.

Decorations for your girl's night out gourmet poker party can range from feminine to crazy-wild. Visit a party store or search online for poker party ideas. Check bargain stores to purchase poker chips, casino-themed plates, napkins and decorations. Use candles to create a soft ambiance or pull out your Lava Lamp and put it to use.

Poker party foods should be easy to eat and not leave a mess on your fingers. After all, you need to be able to play your cards and don't want them covered with BBQ sauce or drippings from baked beans.

Some of my favorite gourmet poker party foods include Toasty Sandwich Tarts, Veggie Pizza, and Taco Tarts. These finger foods are perfect for female tastebuds and certain to bring many "Ohhhh's" and "Ahhhh's".

Put together trays of these foods and setup your beverage bar before guests arrive. Turn on your favorite tunes and when your poker buddies arrive you'll be able to immediately let the game begin!

Toasty Sandwich Tarts:

Toasty Sandwich Tarts are super easy to make and even easier to eat. There are a variety of ways to make sandwich tarts including ham and cheese, pepperoni pizza, deviled ham or spinach. You'll need a bread cut-and-seal utensil, or you can use a drinking glass or cookie cutter. Just be certain to seal the edges of the bread if using the glass or cookie cutter.
