Did you make up the questions yourself, or did you find them somewhere? I have to agree with everyone about the beautiful centerpieces, but I really like the trivia idea!

(you can find this stuff at any craft store!) wrap the raffia around the stem, adding/weaving in feathers and leaves or whatever you want along the way. tie or glue the bottom and you're done! for a dramatic look attach a big leaf in the back with some more hot glue. the baby's breath bouquets were so inexpensive! i got mine from the floral dept. at pick n save. i used 2-3 "bunches" for each bouquet. i had so much left over, that i let my brother make little..."forests" with the rest and we put those by the cake. I made them with my sister/matron of honor the day before the ceremony and let them sit in water overnight. my husband even gave my bouquet a "pistol grip" handle with yarn!!! if you need anything else, let me know!!!
