Pictured here is a custom single level basketball centerpiece that is simple to make. It is creative, yet unique in the way it tells its story theme. The party celebration centers around college basketball teams.
The basketball centerpiece parts are easy to transport for do it yourselfers. Assembly takes but a few minutes at the party or event celebration.
We spray paint the top of the 12″ square styrofoam base with silver paint and ribbon the edges. Mylar paper poofs in team or theme colors are placed around the center where the ball is attached to the base. A team banner is added on a wooden dowel embellished with curling ribbon. The team name is the table name which corresponds to names on the place cards.
Another simple but unique creative idea for your sports banquet, bar mitzvah, bat mitzvah, theme wedding rehearsal or reception, retirement, birthday, or corporate event or party.
Things have been rather hectic around here with Michael planning his retirement. So many decisions to make and so many options.
We have a little catching up to do in our postings. Here are some pictures of a delicious cookie theme bar mitzvah we did earlier this year.
The picture above is the name centerpiece for the custom place card table. Later it was moved to the sweet table. Below is an enlarged shot of he place cards we designed for the event.
To the right are two of the centerpiece table decorations shown before final assembly at the party along with the place cards.

We added a new page on lamination cut outs to our site. A-BnC Parties can clear laminate a furnished picture, graphic or other art work for your do it yourself centerpiece. Then we mount it on a piece of rigid 3/4” polystyrene. We will custom cut out the photo as well as the backing piece. Most pieces are mounted on both sides and we accommodate reflected images. Use for a Bar Mitzvah Centerpiece, Bar Mitzvah Centerpiece, Wedding or other party centerpiece.
Laminated Waveboard Rider
If you go down to two blogs prior to this one, you can see how an 8″ x 10″ supplied picture can be laminated and glued onto a sturdy polystyrene support.
We added some do it yourself ice cream theme centerpiece cut outs suitable for all kinds of delicious looking ice cream aficionados. Shown here on our “Just Add Sand” centerpiece bases. Each comes cut out of rigid polystyrene in white so you can decorate as desired with almost any kid of water based paint.
Ice Cream Banana Split Centerpiece
Mikey’s favorite is the banana split (left), shown here with an ice cream cone and a bar. Also available is the ice cream sundae (right).
We wanted to share a formula for some cute centerpieces we helped put together for a Halloween themed bat mitzvah party a just a few weeks ago.
Use these construction techniques to decorate your party with attractive centerpieces. Support a stick or flexible plastic tube by gluing onto a piece of styrofoam or wood. Insert into your base (here a plastic jack-o-lantern) and glue. The base can also be a shopping bag, small box, decorated box, theme box (i.e. computer), etc. Camouflage with some tissue or mylar paper. Add a large picture (or other theme piece) at the top mounted to a rigid piece of cardboard or polystyrene and attached to the stick or flexible plastic tube.
Add theme related garnishments – here we used leaves, scarecrows, dried flowers, etc. Or it can be anything complimenting the theme you select.
This past weekend we had the privilege of setting up the centerpiece and balloon decorations for Daniel’s Bar Mitzvah party in Buffalo Grove, IL. The theme was da Chicago Bears’ football! The party participants were greeted at the place card table with this “name” centerpiece.
Two different sized Chicago Bears football themed centerpieces decorated the tables, along with matching balloons. There were one level centerpieces with a picture of one of Daniel’s favorite players.
As well as two-level centerpieces, again with pictures and names of favorite players. The two level centerpieces also have a Chicago Bears’ bag as a base.
During the celebration party this Chicago Bears football theme candle lighting was a hit!
We will have a video up on YouTube within a few days with room shots and other centerpieces from Daniel’s party. Look for it soon!
