Banquet Party |
||
A friend of mine always has her family reunion dinner on Easter weekend. They use the church gym and about sixty people attend. Her budget for decorations was $25.00 to $30.00. |

| Supplies: |
12 bud vases 12 water picks 2 bags of Easter candy 12 yards #9 yellow ribbon 12 yards #5 lavender ribbon 4 years #9 white ribbon 4 pieces of wire 1 roll lavender floral tape 3 pkgs yellow Easter grass |
$12.00 $ 1.20 $ 5.00 $ 8.40(All ribbon and wire) $ 1.50 $ 1.50 $29.60 Total |
| First she picked white bridal wreath (spirea) from a bush in
her yard, lavender and purple verbena which grows from spring to fall in our area,
spreading vinca and asparagus fern plant which she had wintered in her garage and
now had started turning green. |
||
 |
First we filled water picks and put lavender floral tape on each pick to cover the pick and give color. We arranged the ribbon with the yellow on bottom, lavender in the middle and white on top. We took a small group of flowers and greenery and put into water picks. The bow was attached with the lavender floral tape. | |
| We made twelve to go in between the vases on each table. |
||
 |
We filled the vases with water and loaded them with the flowers she brought from her yard. (See above for names) We added yellow Easter grass around the base of each vase. | |
 |
With sixty people attending, we set up twelve 8 foot tables in three rows. Each row had four vases and four water pick bouquets. We then scattered Easter candy along the table. The reunion party decorations looked great and we stayed within the budget. | |
| At a formal banquet, you could fold yellow and lavender paper napkins and place in the middle of each plate. (See our instructions on folding napkins by pressing back on your computer and going into "folding napkin" section.) | ||

|
Added ideas below. |
||
 |
With this idea, you buy small plants and move to cup and saucers. Cover your water pick with green tape, add rose and ivy in water pick and make bow. (Ivy wilts fairly quick without a water source and this give it the source to last throughout your party. | |
|
A western table idea would be to take inexpensive rope from your hardware store and hot glue three rows down around terra cotta pots. Move your plant into pots. Add bow.
|
|
|
The added table display is made with 1/5 of a soaked wreath which has been twisted into a figure eight. Wire in the middle and add your water pick, which has been covered with brown tape. Add flowers and bow. |
