My mom keeps telling me to let my guests know that the centerpieces are not for takin home. I haven't had anyone in my family get married in a while so I actually forgot that people actually do that.. but just us Latino people because I haven't seen any other culture do it.
Has anyone else been told to do this?
If so, how are you letting your guests know this?
--or---
Are you letting your guests take home centerpieces? If so, why?
Re: Centerpiece
Our venue offered centerpieces but the guests would not be allowed to take them home.
We decided we'll do our own centerpieces and allow guests to take home since it's rude in our opinion to put a sign saying not to take home because that's offensive.....
If you absolutely must announce it I would suggest announcing it in a professional way such as: ''The beautiful centerpieces you see before you are property of the reception hall and therefore cannot be taken home. Thank you for understanding.'' Or something more eloquent.... Don't just put : Do not take. That sounds rude.
