some places actually have a choice..like my RH will put out a candle votile or a can do a floating candle/ or a floating flower (which the florist would then provide)

our florist steered us away from it, the tables are too small, only in there for an hour, its an added expense that just gets wasted - better to put that money towards something else - like upgrading the CPs in the reception or something else...

My mom insists that we have a few tables with small cp - they will also have votives on them. Only about 5-6 tables will have the smaller cp - then after cocktail hour they will remain on the tables that stay in room w/ DJ. It will look pretty

I think I will end up doing a few floating candles on a few tables or votives

If money were no object I would but my cocktail hour is outside so even candles seems like a waste to me. I might as well save the $30 a table and use it for something else.

I think my florist will be putting votives and rose petals on the cocktail tables.

Re: Cocktail hour tables???

ask you RH what most people do.

Most people probably won't notice. CH tables are usually just a place to set your drink down or leave behind napkins and toothpicks

Re: Cocktail hour tables???

i dont think we're doing anything cause the tables are small and people need the room to eat.
