Giving Away the Centerpieces

Q: I'm getting married in July of this year and I'm having a large wedding. I'm going for the classy fun look and wanted to stay away from "what everyone else does". I wanted to know if you had any suggestions on how to give away the centrepieces. I've been to too many weddings where they play the napkin around the table game, or the keys, or money. I think everyone is quite sick of that. At the same time I do want it to be done in a fun way. Can you help?

A: I know what you mean...finding a unique idea can be tough! What you can do (and this is fun!) is tape a card to the bottom of the same number of chairs as there are centrepieces. (Ex: if you have 20 tables, tape a card to 20 chairs). At some time during the evening, ask people to look under their chairs to see if they have a card taped to the bottom. Those who do get to take the centrepieces home with them. It creates a sense of curiosity, and people seem genuinely surprised that you thought ahead of time to tape cards to the bottom of the chairs beforehand. If you have time, tape a card to each chair, with something funny written on it, and make only 20 of them the winning cards!
