I need a favor!
So I think i am just going to leave all my wedding decisions up to you people. Deal? Alright!
Alright, so we have narrowed it down to two ideas. Both will double as the table centerpiece, and both are a bit of a pain in the ass, but I love them and will use one of them.
First, are Surprise Balls.

I saw the idea over here first, but it linked me back to Not Martha, who linked me to.. well.. Martha. Then I found this one, with fabric balls instead of paper mache, and i was in love. I made a couple last night, and it was really a lot easier than I thought it would be. Between Tom and I, we would whip up 100 of these in just a couple days.
Here are my (unfinished) attempts from last night:
Paper
Fabric
I can see having 6-8 (depending on how many people are at each table) balls in a bowl as the centerpiece.
Idea the second:
Piece of cake boxes.

I saw this idea over onEtsy a week or so ago, and then picked up a magazine at costco using the idea. I like how the finished product looks, with the pieces all making a 'cake', and it could work (again) as the centerpiece. Printing and folding the little bastards is a Pain in the ass, and it's hard to get them looking smooth. Also, if I want to use nice cardstock, each sheet is .50 and I need to make 100, so that's $50 just for the little boxes, which will get trashed. BUT: I think the final product looks less 'homemade' and maybe a little classier.
My attempts last night:
So, now you decide:
Poll I need a favor!
You are all awesome.
