Graduation Centerpieces in Centerpieces

How can I keep a centerpiece from blowing over at an outdoor event?

To keep a honeycomb centerpiece from blowing over, you can strategically and evenly place marbles inside the openings in the honeycomb. For flower centerpieces in a vase, marbles or small stones in the bottom can prevent tipping. For a clear vase, colored marbles will look nice and add the needed weight.

What kind of candy can I put in favor boxes that won't melt outdoors on a hot day?

For outdoor events on hot days, favor boxes can be filled with hard candy or old-fashioned stick candy. Both are able to withstand hot temperatures. Candy such as chocolate and butter mints will soften or melt when exposed to heat.

What should I use to line favor cups?

Favor cups can be lined with a wax paper base covered with tissue paper, or you can purchase favor box liners. Wrapping paper works nicely, as does foil wrap for a more fancy look.
