Centerpieces ideas for basketball banquet?
Check online at Oriental Trading - http://www.orientaltrading.com/
They have an assortment of small basketball items that you could fashion into cute center pieces for little. If you don't have time to wait for them to send things to you, check out local cardware stores for similar type items. You could scatter small basketballs on the table and small pieces of curled ribbons in your school colors, or if you find the tiny mini kind on a stick or ones you can attach to a skewer you could make your own basketball bouquet for the centerpiece. Add ribbons in your school colors. Also, check Dollar Bill type stores for mini basketballs, etc. What about a couple of helium balloons in school colors? If you are doing enough you can buy a small helium tank and fill the balloons yourself. Another cute idea is buying inexpensive plastic tableclothes in school colors and with empty toiliet paper rolls make poms for the table center. I've also found M %26amp; M type candies in bulk and scattered those across the table top for a fun and yummy look.
Have fun and cheer your team on!
Reply:Can you get practice balls and old nets from the school and use those? Perhaps intertwined with a little ivy or placed on some scrap hardwood flooring (donated by a local flooring store).
What's the team mascot - maybe that could be used in some way? Wayyyyy back when I was in highschool, I played lacrosse and the team mom got those brown paper lunch bags and used markers of our team colors and drew paw prints (we were the tigers) and made like 5 or 6 per table for the "bouquet". At the end of the lunchean we were able to take a bag with us and it was filled with candies and fruit and honestly, we were thrilled with it and it was easy, cheap and quick cleanup...
Reply:I would say a cupcake with an basketball frosting or mac and cheese i really dont know!
Reply:go to a 99 cent store
and try to find basketball shaped bowls---they are really cute
if you can't find any---buy orange bowls
add a mixture of popcorn and cracker jack to your bowls
Reply:Find copy or design miniature basketball courts with colorful backgrounds on the computer. Maybe just draw the lines like on an actual court (not players). Print out each on 11X17 sheets of paper. Make sure background of paper contrasts with actual banquet tables or tablecloth on each table. Laminate paper. Use as a centerpiece for each table, or placemats for each setting. Goto Big Lots, or Family Dollar and buy small plastic basketballs. Glue one on the center or another location for each centerpiece. Maybe if they have toy miniature people in gym outfits, tiny basketball hoops or something like that could be added to random table courts for uniqueness. It would give 3 dimensional quality, and create conversation if someone notices the difference in the table decorations.
Reply:There are many ideas on the net. Just enter basketball or sports theme centerpieces.
Or, get creative... how about a large card holder with photographs of the team throughout their season? Perhaps one collage (double sided) that you've had printed up... (landscape so people could see over it).
Or... cut a basketball in half (old trashed one) invert it... and stick
those tinsel picks in school colors.
