Simple Table Centrepieces That Add A Dash Of Fun

If you’re looking for ideas for simple table centerpieces, try these:

Add a small fishbowl or collection of fishbowls at the center of each table. Use gravel that’s coloured to match the theme of your wedding and see to it that the guests have an opportunity to take a fish home at the end of the evening. Don’t plan on having one fish per guest, but you’re likely to find at least one guest per table who will take your swimming centerpieces home. If you don’t like the idea of a live fish, float a tea candle in the fishbowl instead.

Leave a guest book and pens on each table and ask your guests to write congratulatory messages on the pages.

Put a centerpiece made of cupcakes, small desserts, cheescakes, a chocolate mini-buffet or similar sweets in the center of each table. Having a varied selection at each table will encourage the guests to mingle and may be a welcome before- or after-dinner treat.

Wrap different gifts for guests and put them at the centre of each table. Allow the guests to select a gift one at a time and open it. Other guests at the table who haven’t opened their gift yet can “steal” an opened gift and give an unwrapped one to the “victim” or open an unwrapped one instead. The last guest at the table has his or her pick of gifts, or could choose the remaining unopened gift.

A jigsaw puzzle at the center of the table may intrigue your guests and help break the ice. You can choose off the shelf puzzles or have special puzzles made from pictures of you and your intended. For fun, take one piece from each puzzle and put it at a different guest table. Guests from each table will have to look for their missing puzzle piece among the other guest tables.
