The question of who will get to take home the centerpiece can now and again be a central discussion at reception dinner tables, particularly if the centerpiece is particularly pretty or original.

Making a game of who gets the focal point, then, can be an amusing diversion and one many guests will relish participating in. He’re some ideas for making a gift of that reception table focal point.

How about a game of 20 questions? Give each guest a piece of paper and a pen or pencil. The MC or DJ asks a number of 20 questions, but first gives the guests the basic background facts, that is, that the answer is an animal, place, person or thing. Once that’s addressed, people are able to do shout out questions and the MC or DJ will answer yes or no, and whoever figures out the answer first gets the first centerpiece, and that particular table is done playing. The game is repeated until one person at each table has won the centerpiece.

One of the hottest ways brides give away the table centerpieces is to put a number on the bottom of the focal point and give each guest a number. Someday in the evening, a number is called, each guest checks their number and whoever has the called number gets the focal point. The’re many ways to put a twist on this traditional conventional activity.

For example, you may provide each table with a number, but make it a lower number (ie. between 1 and 10) and the DJ or MC could move from table to table and have each guest do something a particular number of times. So, at the first table, for example, the guests may need to do “head, shoulders, knees and toes” six times and whoever does to begin with gets the centerpiece. Or, at the second table, the guests might be required to sing the alphabet 3 times or sing “twinkle, twinkle, little star” three times and whoever does that first get the focal point.

Another fun activity for divvying up the centerpieces is to require guests to create a particular item. The DJ or MC moves from table to table, announcing what guests at that table will be wanted to create in order to get the focal point. Maybe it’s a Georgia quarter or a mint, or a doctor’s appointment card. Whatever it is, the guest at each table who produces the requested item will get the centerpiece.

You can invariably make it easy and offer the centerpiece to the oldest person at the table, or the one who took the most number of years to conclude college. Perhaps you could create a pursuit where the individual who has the strangest talent (as voted on by the tablemates) wins the centerpiece. Then, whenever you can, that person might show off the gift for the total reception party.

If you like musical chairs, you can play a game of musical dollar bills in order to give the centerpiece away. Someone takes out a one-dollar bill and music begins playing. Everyone at the table passes the dollar bill around the table and when the music stops, whoever is left holding the bill gets the centerpiece. Or this game can be played a bit more traditionally with the person with the bill being eliminated, and the game continuing until only one person is holding the bill. That person can then be awarded with the centerpiece. Or, for a fun twist, the bill can be passed around and when the music stops, the individual holding the bill is told to put it back to the person who first supplied it. That is the individual who gets the focal point.

Some fun, and fairly traditional conventional, ideas include the birthday person getting the centerpiece. At each table, the person who has a birthday closest to the wedding ceremony gets the focal point. Or if the’re married couples at the table, the pair who have been together the longest can get the centerpiece, or the pair who were married recent times. Maybe the centerpiece should go to the individual with the longest hair, or the strangest shoes (again, this would be voted on by tablemates).
