Centerpiece Etiquettes

This is a very regional thing. I never heard of people taking them until I joined WW.

Every wedding I've been to the centerpieces are given away, not taken (that is bad!). Generally there's a sticker under someones chair or plate and they "win" the centerpiece at their table. I don't see anything wrong with giving them to your ladies, but I would check to see if they actually want them. I'm not sure how you would keep people from walking off with them though, if that's what they already had a mind to do =/.

Heads up though, I have been to weddings where the amenities basket in the ladies and gentlemans restrooms were stolen... awkward.

Wow, that is SO rude that people just walk off with centerpieces. Especially if they're rented, then you're just screwing over the couple that just paid $60+ for your meal and possibly thousands for you to have a good time.

I say you're paying for them so you should do what you want with them. Screw it if people think they're "entitled" to take a centerpiece at their table, that is absurd!! If you want to give it to your BMs, then you should, it's your centerpiece.

I am with Kimi on this. I have never gone to a wedding expecting to or seen anyone take a centerpiece.

I paid over $1500 for mine, and I decided who got them. I gave them out towards the end. It is completely your decision and if someone just trys to take one that is just rude.

I think you should go ahead and give them to who you want to. I have never seen anyone take center pieces or even thought that was an option...I guess if that would be an issue make sure people know not to take them.

Those centerpieces are gorgeous! They would make beautiful home decor too!
