Centerpiece Help Needed!!!!!!!!!
I`ve hit a bit of a snag! were getting married on December 19, and had ordered these "metal christmas trees". They are about 1 1/2 feet tall and have 12 hooks on them to hang ornaments from (i know they sound strange, but there actually really cute).
We have all the ornaments already (which will be favours).
The company i ordered the `trees` from said they will be back ordered until the beginning of January!!!!!! I was wondering if anyone new of a place i could get something like this?????
I`m in Vancouver, Canada, but dont mind ordering from somewhere else!!!!
Thanks!

Hello,
Can you send me a picture of the trees or the company name to angwillard@yahoo.com? That way I would know what they look like to help you find them somewhere else...

If you are unable to find these trees, I have an idea that may help you. If you just can`t find the trees, get some festive candles to put in their place at the center of the table. Get some shiny 12 guage wire (available at any craft store) in silver. This wire can be twisted in a tree shape (circular) You can make the top end of the wire into a shape for the "star" at the top, and just wind it down til it reaches the table, and the bottom tier will be the base. Then, you can take the fork, knife, and spoon from each person`s place setting, and put them inside this like a tripod. The whole place setting can then be set where the place setting was, or on the plate itself on the table. Then take your ornaments and hang them from this "tree" if they are not too large. If they are too large, you can use the ornaments as napkin rings. ( just tie the string that you would hang the ornament by around the napkin...)
This is a really cute table setting!
If you aren`t doing table settings, you can just do a larger version of this "tree" as a centerpiece.
Good luck!
