Centerpiece ideas

Sue Pelletier September 3rd, 2007

I know, today is Labor Day and we should all be out eating burgers, but I just ran across these centerpiece tips by Cindy Butts, CAE, and wanted to share. Just a few of her great ideas:

    Inexpensive things we’ve found: a) going off season to a souvenir shop in that area and buying discount items related to the location (toy lobsters, carved/painted sea figures, lanterns) ; b) medium-sized potted plants such as cactus with something painted on pots; c) glass jars/vases from a dollar store filled with Oreo cookies and black/white ribbon tied around the top (black/white event)

Also in her post are things to consider when doing the flower-or-no-flower debate.
