We are having a backyard barbecue celebration. I think FH's aunt is buying white flowers to put on the tables. IMO centerpieces for a casual backyard party isn't really necessary. I like the non-floral ideas... that way they don't attract bugs (hopefully)!
yea i just dont know what to do. im thinking is it really necessary to have centerpieces?? would it look tacky if we didnt?

if its just a backyard thing i dont think it would be tacky if you didnt have centerpieces. its not necessary imo
It doesn't sound to formal so what about just some balloons? That's what I had at mine, held at an American Legion hall. Again not very formal

well i didnt think we were going to do centerpieces, but my mom keeps asking me what we can do, i don't think its really necessary because its in the backyard, but she keeps on insisting. so i figured i would ask what you girls have done for your e-parties
I dont think you necessarily need them for a backyard engagement party. FH and I are having an engagement party and we are not doing centerpieces in the backyard. If you are interested though you could do a triangular picture frame with 3 pics of FH and yourself that always looks cute.
Hi-I'm also having a backyard engagment party-BBQ style. I wasn't going to do centerpieces-actually the thought never came in my mind to. Probably just balloons all over the backyard. I didn't even know if we needed to get extra tables? was just gonna do a bunch of chairs; but it will be a pain and messy for everyone to just eat on their laps right?
We had a backyard EParty in June. My Mom made the centerpieces for the EParty which consisted of a ring of flowers and greens with a pillar candle in the middle. They turned out beautiful. Mom is in a garden club - so she was happy to do it and loves making arrangements, and that also kept our cost down....
maybe we will just do some balloons, i dont think we are having that many tables so i dont think it will be too much. thanks ladies for your ideas!

Yes...doing a popcorn favor 'he popped the question blah blah blah' and probably something else ring related. I'm doing the popcorn DIY...cute labels, cute bags, etc.
Ours was not super formal at a restaurant. We had balloons.
we are either doing windmills stuck into buckets of candy. or pictures of FH and I on shrinky dink paper attached to candle holders with citronellas (i have no idea how to do this- MOH is in charge). ours is backyard BBQ as well, so very casual. i dont even think you need centerpieces if you dont want!
