Another great centerpiece idea!

Rules for centerpieces:
Simple, nothing too complicated.  Remember, people will be talking over and across them and not focusing on a lot of detail in a centerpiece.

See the details here.

This brings me to the centerpiece, make sure people can talk over and across it.  Nothing too tall where people have to dodge and duck to tell someone across the table a story.

Here's a great and cheap idea.  I priced these out at about $10 but this could be someone that you could borrow too.  Add some tea lights (preferably the fake ones that don't require an actual flame.)  Some simple pieces of lace or netting around the bottom of the base, a ribbon to tie around the outside, and voila- an easy cheap centerpiece.

I did something similar to this at my wedding but used actual candles which didn't last long and the flames burned some of the glass and it was just a pain.  Now that they have those battery operated tea lights that dance like an actual flame and are about the same price as a candle, buy those instead.  It's worth it.
