Where do I even begin on this topic? You may have thought you were done with centerpieces once your wedding was over, but, honestly, that was just a warm up! Every gathering you have should include a centerpiece, and not just any centerpiece, but a masterpiece!
The centerpiece is the defining characteristic of your gathering. It sets the mood and creates your ambience. For example, at our Cookies For A Cause gala every year, our centerpiece is an extravagant display of uniquely designed cookie jars, each representing a different charity - in other words, it tells our story.
Your centerpiece by no means needs to be flowers, it can be anything really so long as it captures the essence of your affair! For example, you can use floating rubber duckies at a baby shower,

Whatever your style, keep it fun and creative!
You don't have to spend a lot of money and the internet has fabulous resources for ideas. One place I found is Google Images.
I also found a great craft supply store, Save-On-Crafts.com which has lots of unique items for great prices.
Share with us your centepiece ideas, we'd love to hear about them!

I think a center focal point or centerpiece should always be with the theme! or flowers if no theme is used. We just did a flower garden theme for my youngest bday party and we had a picket fence, garden display for the food and grass mats for food platter. I think it makes the event come together. :)
thanks for posting some new sites for me to go to!
