Martha Stewart Weddings, 2000
This display is a centerpiece, a stack of party favors, and a table-number indicator all in one.
Fill small cardboard boxes with cookies or candies, wrap them with bands of paper and slender ribbon, and stack them on a silver compote in the shape of a pyramid. Attach a table number to the topmost box.
Definitely check out ebay for boxes. You can get a great deal on massive quantities.

You could try somethign like this and paint it gold. That's what I'm going to try.

Does anyone know where I can get that gold cake stand? I have been searching for something exactly like that for months for my wedding centerpiece.
Some brides distribute their favors at the end to save space on the table, but I really like this idea because it is a space and time saver. It is definitely a winner - Cute and practical!!
