    Will people be betting real money?
    If so, that will probably be prize enough.

    I think they play with the "worthless" casino chips...just for fun dont they sammy? everyone starts off with the same number of chips...least I would hope thats the case else there may be a problem with licencing if children are there...

    Are you thinking of giving a prize to the person who gets the most chips?...maybe a bottle of champagne or wine...or chocolates...something small...afterall its your day and you'll end up giving out all the presents!

    yeh its personalised chips that they play with. so they could take them home as a memory.

    yeh it would be nice to give someone something with the most chips- a nice box of choccies would be nice wouldnt it

    I think the chips to take home as a keepsake is a lovely idea...

    Perhaps, all guests get a personalised chip to take home ,Because if they are betting them some might lose all theirs so out of final pot give each guest one and then , give the winner a small prize

    Ah, well if they're not playing for money you definately need a prize - poker doen't work unless there's some incentive to win :)

    Hi, the company i'm using is giving a bottle of bubbly and a framed winner's certificate, I'm also considering giving the fun Money as favours in lil envelopes.
