If you’re thinking about ways to save money at your next charity gala fundraiser, an easy way to cut costs is on your centerpieces. Your centerpieces don’t have to be elaborate or extravagant. In fact, you can pick up a lot of the materials for a creative and beautiful centerpieces at your local dollar store. Here are some examples of some centerpieces I have seen at recent charity fundraiser.
1. A movie themed fundraiser can include a centerpiece with a plastic popcorn container with fake
flowers, popcorn, and Red Vines. Each centerpiece was created for less than $5.

2. Hosting a Speakeasy themed fundraiser? Put together a centerpiece with some feathers in an empty
Jack Daniels bottle. Contact a local bar before your event and they can save empty liquor bottles for this low cost centerpiece. The cost of each centerpiece was less than $2.
3. I recently attended a charity gala that had a centerpiece that included a blowup guitar with Saturday Night Live characters printed out and attached to tongue depressors. This was a great centerpiece for a Saturday Night Live theme. Buy the blow-up musical instruments in bulk for deep savings.
4. If your fundraiser has a rustic theme, you can use red bandanas as napkins with a mason jar filled
with pretty flowers as the centerpiece. Bandanas run about 65 cents which brings the total price of these centerpieces to $4.00 including flowers from Trader Joe’s.

5. Is your school or library having an auction? Use books that are already in the classroom for a
centerpiece that costs $0.00. Tie a ribbon around the books to keep them together and looking need. Group books by color for a stunning effect.
