Does anyone have any original games to use for winning the centerpiece???

Here are a few ideas:

Bride/groom trivia - Give each guest a list of questions about the bride and groom (where they met, how they became engaged, etc.). The person with the most correct answers at each table gets the centerpiece.

Famous couples - The person at each table who can guess the most famous couples wins the centerpiece. You can list a movie or TV show, and the guests have to write in the names of the couple (e.g., Gone With the Wind - Rhett and Scarlett).

Word puzzles - You could list the full names of the bride and groom, and guests have to make words out of the letters. You could have a list of wedding-related words with scrambled letters, and the guests have to unscramble the words.

Something you can do (not really a game) is to give the centerpiece to the person at each table whose birthday is closest to the wedding date.

Or whose own wedding is closest to the wedding date

That's a good idea, KRIS, the only problem is that anyone who is single has no chance of winning a centerpiece.

I had other ideas from my cousin and my step-brother's wedding.
They had kind of a hot-potato game thing, where the dj plays music and tells the guests to pass around a spoon, when the music stops whoever has the spoon wins.

Another spin was at my cousin's wedding where the dj asked someone to take out a dollar. They did the music thing and passed around the dollar, when the music stopped the person who had the dollar thought they won, but the dj says whoever gave the dollar wins the centerpiece... but whoever has the dollar gets to keep it.

Those were great fun, but I don't want to copy!! :-/
