   Small ball ornaments (Will be on sale now!) Poinsettias, artificial snowfalkes, fill partway with water and float fresh cranberries on top…

   I guess if you had the time you could go to a nearby gardening store and get a bag of those pretty rocks? They come in all different colors and you can get them sparkly or shiny. They’re pretty cheap too. Just fill a small vase with those with a tealight candle on top and it gives off a very warm feeling.
   If the vases are fatter and shorter you could fill them with water and then place floaty candles in all of them too. That would add a nice touch.
   I guess it’s really all up to your imagination

   You didn’t mention if the event has a theme, but as long as the item coordinates and isn’t hokey, that works. For instance, you could do baby/child pictures of the guests. A special xerox of an event that means something – I would make a collage. Use silver Christmas-sy adornments.

   A cute one i saw – if the vase is clear: put clean water small gold fish and some sort of flowers (only a few) that has long clean (thorn free, root free, and leaf free) stem. Its is very pretty and relaxing and unique to watch the fish swim aroundth bottom of a few pretty flowers inthe center of a table. there can be a leaf or two at the top – jsut not in the water
