This is easy fun for Brownie Troops and Children's Groups

Decorations:
Using construction paper, cut out-hearts, spades, clubs and diamonds. Place these around the room and on the backs of chairs. Make large playing cards on poster board for wall cut-outs and make a bridge of playing cards (glued) for a centerpiece. Toss hats everywhere and fill them with flowers. Use dolls hats for holding nuts, cookies, etc.
