Planning on doing my Great Aunt's homemade moonshine at each table setting as a favor, but don't want to do HUGE jars. Everything I've found is super expensive. I would be okay with even doing plastic...

I'm making my own centerpieces. Does anyone know good quality fake flowers/plants that aren't too pricey? The flowers are a decorative part of the centerpiece, like a garland around surrounding it,...
