50th Birthday Ideas For Centerpiece

A picture is worth a thousand words... and a whole lot cheaper than expensive floral party centerpieces. Creative 50th Birthday Ideas for centerpieces are easy to imagine.

Centerpieces can be elaborate and expensive. Huge floral arrangements that get chucked in the trash at the end of the party.

Why not create something memorable for everyone in attendance?

Using the same photo that was chosen for the birthday invitations... so it's already saved on your computer makes this project so simple... anyone can create them in a flash.

The supply list is simple... but you will need to shop at several types of stores.

• Glossy Photo Paper
• Birthday stickers from the scrapbook or craft store
• Felt tip colorful markers
• Colorful card stock from the scrapbooking section of the craft store.
• Scissors
• Glue Stick
• Small menu stands from a restaurant supply store.

Cut the card stock into about an 81/2" by 11" size and then add a decorative edge to one of the short sides. This can be as simple as a zig zag cut resembling a birthday crown.

Glue on the picture and add some fun birthday stickers.

Use the Felt Tip pens to write a simple message like " look who's 50!".

Create enough of these mini posters so that you have 2 for each table.

Place 2 posters back to back and slip them into the menu stands. This will keep them upright throughout the party.

These little poster stands must be used on a table with other decorations or they will look lost.

Tuck them in between small potted plants... or bowls of goodies to fill our the table centerpiece area.

50th Birthday Ideas don't have to be expensive. These little posters give even strangers something to talk about at the table. Plus... if you have some Older Than Dirt Games on the table... this gives everyone a chance to get to know each other on neutral ground.
