The question of who will get to take home the centerpiece can sometimes be a central discussion at reception dinner tables, particularly if the centerpiece is particularly pretty or original. Give each guest a piece of paper and a pen or pencil. The game is repeated until one individual at each table has won the centerpiece. At point in the evening, a number is called, each guest checks his or her number and whoever has the called number gets the centerpiece. There are a lot of ways to put a twist on this traditional activity. So, at the first table, for example, the guests might need to do head, shoulders, knees and toes six times and whoever does it first gets the centerpiece. You can always make it easy and offer the centerpiece to the oldest individual at the table, or the one who took the most number of years to finish college. Then, if possible, that individual might show off the talent for the entire reception party. 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. That is the individual who gets the centerpiece. Some fun, and fairly traditional, ideas include the birthday individual getting the centerpiece. At each table, the individual who has a birthday closest to the wedding gets the centerpiece. Perhaps the centerpiece should go to the individual with the longest hair, or the strangest shoes (again, this would be voted on by tablemates).
