How are you giving centerpieces away?

Hi,

Any unique ideas besides the usual closest birthday, etc.? Was going to give it to whoever at the table knew FH or I the longest? What do you think?

Our DJ asked everyone 1 person to take out a $1.00 bill and then it was passed around like hot potato and when the music stopped the person holding the $1 was the winner. Or you always have the lady at the table whose birthday is next be the winner.

what about having everyone look under their chair to find a post it or something that says who the winner is!!

What about placing a sticker under one plate at each table and whoever has the plate, gets the centerpiece.

I was at a wedding where they did this -- one person took out $1.00 and passed it around till the music stopped -- everyone thought the person who had the $1.00 was the winner -- actually it was the person who took out the dollar! It was great.

Same here. Our Dj did that too since we couldn't come up with anything original

our dj is having someone take out a dollar bill and pass it around..when the music stops...the person holding the dollar gets to keep the dollar and the person who donated the dollar gets the centerpiece..how cute is that

We asked our florist to come back 30 minutes before the reception ends and make a small bouquet for every guest. They handed it to every guest while they exit.

I put a gold scratch-off sticker on the back of each menu. The person at the table that uncovers our monogram gets the CP!

Our DJ told everyone that there was a yellow piece of paper under 1 chair. Everyone was flipping their chairs over it was hilarious...then he said oh wait that was the Bar Mitzvah last weekend. He made everyone take a dollar out and pass it around...when the music stopped the person who had the bill thought they won but the MC told them that the person who took out the dollar bill was the actual winner. It was really nice--everyone loved it!!

We are taking our large tall centerpieces apart and giving everyone small bouquets - sort of like favors. Our caterer is handling it for us.
