FAQs
Q: How many flowers do I need for centerpieces?
A: Use enough jars so the table looks even. For a long table, place jars every 2–3 feet. For round tables, one or two small jars work well.
Q: Can I use fake flowers?
A: Yes. Fake flowers last longer and you can reuse them. Choose soft, natural colors for the same wildflower feel.
Q: What food should I avoid?
A: Avoid very messy or strong-smelling foods. Stick to light,bite-sized items and labeled dishes for allergies.
Q: How early should I set up?
A: Set up decorations the day before if you can. Arrange flowers and food the morning of the shower for best freshness.
Q: How do I keep the party relaxed?
A: Keep games short and optional. Let guests chat and move around. Simple seating and clear food stations help guests feel at ease.
