Can you help with this wording?

At the reception, we plan on giving away our centerpieces. The idea was to place a card under each seat at the table, one of them will be the "winner" and the guest at that seat can take home the centerpiece. (Just a vase of fresh flowers)



We wanted to put a little card at each place setting letting guests know to look under their seat ~ how can we word it?



Also, how do we word the "winner" cards and the "loser" cards that go under the chairs?



All ideas/suggestions appreciated, thanks:)

Can you help with this wording?
Well, now that you have that figured out... i would suggest not putting a loser card... and i wouldn't say winner, either... why not just make a star and tape the star under the seat... then if they have a star, they win... if they don't have one, then they don't win... it will be less work to only put winners rather than something under every chair.
Reply:It can get awkward for people to be getting up, bending over and checking under chairs at a formal event, especially if the tables are close together. I'm in charge of a fancy event at work every year. We give away the centerpieces by announcing that it goes to the person at each table whose birthday is closest to today's date. Or, you could do earliest birthday in the year, or latest in the year, or alphabetical by first name, or anything else that the group can easily figure out rather than having a whole room full of people getting up at once and tipping chairs over. That way, you don't have to deal with "losers", either.
Reply:I think you should just place 1 card at a table do not place a card under each sit just 1 seat ,Then as time goes on have the person who MCing your wedding announce that "The bride and Groom would like to thank every one for coming etc and a each table under 1 chair there will be a card if your seat has the card you take home the centerpiece..
Reply:Yes have the DJ announce it. Make it simple, the person with the birthday nearest to your wedding date will be the winner. Don't put loser under anyone's seat or winner either. Tacky.
Reply:Place "winner" cards but not "loser" cards! I would have the DJ announce at a certain time for everyone to check under their seat and explain what is happening rather than have something written.
Reply:Why not just put one winner card under the chair and have someone announce to everyone to look?
