A small gift at each place setting is a nice way to celebrate each guest and draw interest to the table.

Recycle tin cans from soups and sauces and turn them into inexpensive flower vases to hang on chairs, the ends of pews, or offset the stem ware at each place setting. Cover with paper and personalize with the couples’ names, date, and rick rack. Each guest will be eager to take his or hers home.

Peanut butter cups are a sweet end to a delicious meal... you can buy similar candies in mints and creams as well. Use the computer to print name tags on colored paper. Cut into flags and pierce two holes with an ice pick.... thread on a skewer, and plant in the candy. Place one at each setting.

Candy stores are a treasure trove of sweet finales. These oversized dark chocolate nonpareils are sleeved in cellophane, tied, and attached with a computer tag. Place at the reception door in a basket with the number of each guest table attached to the back.
