Use the shoes as an alternative to a vase, and place your flowers inside. You can use floral foam blocks to keep the flowers in place.
Ready to Pop Popcorn Tower
The mom-to-be is ready to pop. Celebrate with this cute tower of popcorn you can use as a centerpiece at each table. Fill clear bags with the popcorn of your choice and label each with a sticker that reads, “ready to pop.” Place the bags on a small cake tower. The bags of popcorn double as party favors for your guests to take home.
