Centerpieces at the end of the reception?

I figured I'd let each table work it out on their own. I've never seen a fight break out over a centerpiece! : )

I've seen at some weddings, they put a penny under one of the coffee cups. Whoever has the penny under their cup takes home the centerpiece.

Our centerpieces are also the raised kind, but the stands are rented, and the arrangements lift straight up off the top of the stands.

We will discuss with our DJ on which type of game to have the guests play for the centerpeices.

If we don`t do it this way, there could be hard feelings. I know my mom and her friends always scope out the chairs and everything else to figure out just which chair to sit in at a table with the centerpieces in mind. They all always want the flowers!!

Having some type of game will just avoid any confusion. And if the winner doesn`t want the centerpiece, for whatever reason, they could always give it to someone else.

This sounds like a great idea.
How are you going to handle the timeing? Will the staff remove the certerpieces during desert? Do you have a viennese hour in another room?

Gina S--what a good idea

I really liked your idea--don't know if it will work for me, b/c I am not sure whether we are going to have an after party.

Where are you having your reception? Any chance it is at The Carltun? We are having our reception there and also will be having a Jazz hour.
