Table Decoration is the center of attraction of all the guests, be it family members, friends or relatives. When the vows are exchanged and the wedding rituals and ceremonies are completed, guests head towards the tables for the delicious food to enjoy. And the décor of the table is the first thing that sets the mood and environment for enjoying the yummy food. Hence, the Wedding Table Decoration should be just grand and euphoric to bring an eternal bliss to all. The right table decorating ideas for a wedding can turn functional furniture into an integral part of the décor, creating a beautiful tableau for the reception and the beginning of a couple’s happily ever after. A bride will put a lot of thought into the type of decorations that are used on the tables where guests will sit during the after wedding celebrations in the reception hall. The bride might choose to place a guest book at the entrance so that everyone who enters can see it and sign their names. Some might choose to leave small comments that are meant to be best wishes for the happy couple on their special day, and the bride will ensure that a decorative pen is posted for all guests to use.

Wedding Table Decoration can vary with different themes. For Beach Wedding Theme, Wedding Table Decoration will consist of Marzipan Seashells, Sea creatures, Dolphins, Killer whales, Lobsters, Crabs, and Sea urchins in various colors. Christmas Wedding will include Christmas box with goodies, puddings, reindeer, Santa’s snowmen, holy leaves, rose leaves, and other wedding favors. Again, Tropical Wedding theme will be full of fruits like lemon, pineapple, lime, banana, and papaya. For the Halloween theme, there are various skittery wedding décor. Witches, grave stones, skulls, ghosts, severed fingers, cats and spiders are the part of Wedding Decoration.

When deciding how to decorate tables at a wedding, the first thing to understand is what different types of tables will need to be decorated. Depending on the style of the wedding reception, tables may include:

• Head Table: This is usually a long table for the bride and groom, their parents, and possibly the bridal party.
• Sweetheart Table: This is a more intimate table for just the bride and groom.
• Cake Table: The wedding cake is undoubtedly a showpiece of the reception, and its table should be decorated accordingly.
• Buffet Table: If the meal or snacks will be served buffet-style, the table will require some decorative accents.
• Guest Tables: From just a few to a few dozen, each guest table should be coordinated.
• Signing Table: This table may have frame for guests to add sentiments to, an elaborate guestbook, or other way for guests to offer individual comments.
• DJ Booth: A DJ will require a large table for the music equipment, and decorating it appropriately will make it a part of the reception rather than pile of electronics.
• Gift Table: Though it is better etiquette not to bring gifts to the wedding reception, couples may need to be prepared with this type of table space.
• Grooms Table: A table with the grooms cake that shows the grooms interest

Last week I discussed an “orange” themed Halloween party and now I will share with you some Halloween party tips for Halloween table decorations. These tips are easy to do and inexpensive to produce.

With all of my events, no matter if they are serious fundraising galas or whimsical birthday parties; I still like to keep an element of style, hip and class to the table décor. Even when I use inexpensive props such as the Halloween items for this Halloween display, I still like to mix and match with more expensive-looking or natural Halloween items too.

There are so many choices when looking at decorations for Halloween. What I like to do is collect Halloween items during the season and then on November 1st, go back to the drug store or party supply store and pick-up whatever is left over and inexpensive. Nothing makes me feel better than garnering bargains on cheap Halloween decorations. I make sure to buy items that I will have a use for and that will store easily in my party planning design box, an item I discuss in Budget Bash – Simply Fabulous Events on a Budget.

To create the whimsical Halloween table decorations for this article I used the following:

Gold organza fabric for a table runner – You can buy any type of fabric and make a table runner, scrunch up unfinished fabric down the center of the table or use pinking sheers and cut a runner for a one- or two-time use (more uses are possible if you are careful with the fabric). For this table, I used a table runner from a previous event and scrunched it down the center of the table.

I picked up the following decorations for Halloween at the end of the season a few years ago and have kept these items in my party planning design box. These cheap Halloween decorations are candy corn twinkle lights, decorative candy dishes, orange votive candles and glass votive candle holders, mini-plastic pumpkin buckets and a witch’s hat. I may have spent a total of $15 for all of these Halloween items and have used them for the past three seasons.

While I was picking up dinner at the market, I grabbed a bunch of sunflowers, rust-colored mums, Halloween candy and mini-pumpkins. A fun idea is to carve the mini-pumpkin’s center and sides (if you have the time) to create votive candle holder. If not, do what I did and just add them to the table as a décor item.

Decorating the table was fast and easy. I just scrunched up the table runner and intertwined the candy corn twinkle lights with the fabric runner. I placed the witch’s hat in the center of the table (I stuffed the center of the hat with a paper bag to make it stand up straight), filled the candy dishes with Halloween candy, placed the votives and pumpkins on the table and then placed the sunflowers loosely on the table. To add a bit of color besides orange and yellow to the table, I pulled out two small blue vases and placed the mums in those.

To create the total look of the Halloween table decorations didn’t take long at all and I coordinated my food shopping along with it. An added bonus to this table decoration is that it will last quite a few days. Just remember to unplug the lights when you are not around the table to prevent any type of electrical hazard from happening and if you have animals who like to leap onto your dining room table, you may want to remove the candy and loose flowers as well when you are not in the room.

I hope you found this Halloween party decoration tip useful. To learn more about party planning on a budget, read Budget Bash – Simply Fabulous Events on a Budget. Until next time remember to have fun and be a guest at your own party!
