Why don't you do some type of 'Bridal Jeopardy' Whoever wins gets their centerpiece from each table.

Like the questions would all be about the bride and groom to be. Favorite things, places they visited, etc. Write up questions for each table, different topics different questions. Whoever gets the most right at the table wins the centerpiece.
Beats the old penny under the saucer... I think..

I was going to say a game too- where the people at the table would need to answer a question correctly about the bride and groom..

So, like first one who answers-- you can distribute 'wedding bells' for people to ring (buzz) in.

Ditto. BUT, your mom and the grooms mom are the automatic winners of the centerpiece at their tables. And, maybe grandma, too

Re: Bridal Shower...How do i give away the center piece?

I think at mine they did something along the lines of this:

Each table had ten people, with ten envelopes each with a number inside it..each person got to pick one envelope.

Before the shower my bridal party asked DH ten questions:
Where was your first kiss
WHere was your first date
What is the feature you love best about your FW ect

The at the shower they asked me the same questions and compared our answers.
(What is the feature darren loves best about me?, you get the idea)
How many we got right determined who got the centerpiece.
For instance I got 9 out of 10 right so every person at each table holding the number 9 got to take home the CP. I really like this and thought it was cute, PLUS I thought it was a good way for people to learn a little more about us as a couple.
