Guest Post from my Mom Doris!
It’s always wonderful to go all out on table displays and
settings, but sometimes it just isn’t practical to use real dishes with chargers , cloth napkins
with napkin rings or expensive centerpieces.
When you do a lunch for 80
people, once a month, you are doing a lot of tables on a low budget. This is where we will share ideas for tables
when you are on a budget and have limited resources. One thing for sure, we always want to make
sure those coming to our event walk in and say “Wow, these decorations make me
feel special”.
*Purchased a 1.00
container in Target's dollar area. Filled a paper cup with plaster
of paris putting a wood skewer painted black in the middle and let dry.
Make fun puff balls then
glue onto the wood skewer. Place the cup inside the cute square box and
aAdd paper filler to top to cover the cup. This way, the cups can be
removed and the cute square containers can be used again for a different centerpiece
another year.
Directions for Puff
balls can be found here:
One important thing to remember when doing a centerpiece is to keep it under 11 inches tall so that people can see the person across the table without having to move the centerpiece .
We love to give the guests a little favor. These woven hearts made a great favor to fill with chocolate!! The are fun to make!
You can find instructions to make the woven hearts here:
