Centerpieces Ettiquette

It's not just the large centerpieces that they take either, after my daughter's reception we were missing almost 50 votives, led battery candles, etc. I still am a bit pissed . ETA they had 'property off' stickers on the bottom of all of them too.

I'm Mexican and I know that my family always takes centerpieces when they go to weddings.

My tall centerpieces, the flower portion popped off the vases. I went around and removed them and then people took them home. The low centerpieces were loose flowers in vases and some were taken. I actually wish more people took flowers home.

Typically at every party including weddings that I have been to the centerpieces get taken home by family or guests.. But they usually only take the top piece with the flowers not that hanging crystals or vase!
