Ideas for Communion Centerpieces

this idea is a little pricey but it is pretty and also has a function- what about those "edible arrangements"? (fruit cut into flower shapes)

For a low profile centerpiece you can buy inexpensive cut glass bowls (from the dollar store) and float candles in water in the bowls. You can color the water with food coloring to match your linens, etc. You can also buy those little plastic scatter confetti to toss on the tables - I found cross-shaped ones on line when my son made communion three years ago. Good luck.

Hi M. D - What I made for my granddaugher's christening turned out adorable! I bought square glass vases in Michael's or AC Moore. I printed some photos of her, cut them to fit and put them on two sides of the vases on the inside (you could do four sides, if you want), and put shredded colored strips into the vases as well. I used the vases as anchors for balloons, but you could put flowers in them instead. Looked great and was a different type of centerpiece! Hope this helps you! Grandma

Hi there.
I really like the jelly bean idea!! I just wanted to tell you that recently we did a baby shower for my cousin and she didn't want balloons either...well we owund up doing some, but not on the tables. Anyway, her theme was a jungle theme and we got these metal pots...they were white with like a hit of orange and green on them...we filled them with "jungle like" flowers and then bought tiny jungle animals to put in the middle. SO CUTE. We used just brown, orange, yellow, and green. We got EVERYTHING except the little animals at the dollar store. The flowers were great, especially when after that we went to AC Moore and the same flowers were like $5 or more A PIECE!!!
The jelly bean thing is a great idea though, or you could do a glass jar with different candy at each table with little baggies to fill. Definitely go to the dollar store (we went to Dollar Tree...they are usually the best) for the flowers. You could also check out Oriental Trading Company...they may even have some stuff for communion.

How about making cookies (larger ones) of any color and shape your desire) and insert sticks. You can make a centerpiece out of them by buying those styrofoam thingies.
As you can see, I have the idea but not the know how. I've seen them done and they're cute and can be used as a favoe as well! God bless!

how about a lollipop centerpiece.....you can go to Michael's and get all the stuff you need.

How about a beautiful planted flower (or something along those lines), have your daughter hand out tickets to each of her guests (the other half going in a small bag on the table) and then she can pick a "winner" from each table. Someone goes home happier then when they came and you won't be stuck with 10 center pieces or wasted money if you need to through them away.

We have Communion 4/26 for my son. I'm keeping it small (35) and I'm taking his picture, putting it in a frame (nice silver ones from the dollar store) and that'll be the favor to everyone.

Good luck.

fat short glass vases filled with jelly beans. each table has a different colored jelly bean. at each seat place a small silk bag that cinches. then everyone can go from table to table at the end of the party and put a small scoop of jelly beans in their bag. surround the vase with flowers
