what are you doing with center pieces after the wedding

I was thinking of giving my center pieces to guests if they want them....cause what am I going to do with them afterwards? Throw them in a box and it will collect dust....

Our DJ does a centerpiece give away, but I told him I wanted to resell my vases, so it is just the flowers. Our DOC said she brings ziplocks and rubber bands to start pulling out the flowers in the last 5 mins so people can take them home.

Can you try and sell parts of them to recoup some of the money? We rented part of ours, so that'll go back, and the flowers are loosely arranged so people can't really take them home. Sad to say, but the flowers will probably go in the trash. But since they're not in water in the CPs they'll probably be pretty close to done by the end of the reception anyway. The bowls I'll keep a couple to use in my home but the rest I'll try to sell or donate.

See the pic since that was probably pretty confusing:

my CPs are dollar store vases with silk flower arrangements, and some candles. So, yes, i could sell them but dont know if anyone would want them and I will never go through all the lavender candles that i have.

I think I might try to come up with a game or something and the winners get the CPs.

We are doing live potted plants and giving them away after the reception. We are having our venue place a sticker on one plate at each table and the person who has the dot gets to take the centerpiece home with them.

I was going to give them away to anyone who wants them and if I have any leftover I will sell on craigslist or ebay. I see a lot of people selling their centerpieces on ebay, you never know what someone else will like. My centerpieces is a candle set from walmarts vday collection, love picture frames, and a mason jar with spanish moss and rice lights to look like fireflies.

We are going to try and sell our centerpieces and other decor sometime after the wedding, and then use the money towards the Credit Cards we used for Wedding Expenses.

We don't have much in center pieces. We are painting pumpkins white and carving them. On each side there will be a little mason jar filled with corn kernels and a candle in it..So I guess the only thing to keep is the jars. Everything else goes in the garbage. lol
