Board Games

Fmbrides.com recommends stacking up different board games for you party's centerpieces. Not only will these add color to the table and be fun to look at, but also they will serve a more functional purpose.

Shoe Centerpiece

Spray painting old or unwanted shoes is another unique -- and at the same time inexpensive - idea for a party centerpiece. According to Stretcher.com, you can paint shoes to match the party's overall color scheme and place candles or flowers inside or among them.

Mini Scarecrow

For your next Halloween, Thanksgiving or otherwise fall-themed party, forget the cornucopias and jack-o-lanterns and make yourself some mini scarecrow centerpieces. According to Stretcher.com, you will need to sew a pair of baby-sized pants -- preferably jeans -- to a baby-sized checkered or flannel shirt, and then stuff the outfit with hay or leaves. You can then tie off the arms and legs, making sure to leave a bit of your packing material hanging out for hands and feet. For the head you can draw a face on a Styrofoam ball or draw on a sock and then stuff it with your packing material.
Edible Centerpiece
-
While flowers may have a pleasurable appearance, the same cannot be said about their taste. So for your next party's centerpiece, try using edible decorations. Fmbrides.com recommends using arrangements of colorful cupcakes or chocolate flowers. Not only will you solve the problem of your centerpiece, but you will also have dessert already on the table.
Live Fish
-
Perhaps one of the most visually stunning and unique party centerpiece ideas is to use live fish. Fmbrides.com recommends placing marbles or other decorative stones at the bottom of glass bowls, filling the bowls with water, and then centering them on your tables. Next all you need are the fish which, depending the type, you can get for a relatively low price at any pet store. Make sure to include fish food on each table so they don't go hungry!
