My daughter will be celebrating her “Sweet 16” soon and she wanted a masquerade party theme. I have a small budget for her special day (no Sweet 16 MTV style). An idea I came up with for the table centerpiece cost me approximately $2 each centerpiece (not counting the hot glue, glue gun and skewers I already had). I purchased masquerade masks for .79 cents each and balloon weights for .99 cents each. Hot glued the mask to the skewer and stuck it into the balloon weight. Super cheap and easy to make, but still looks stylish.
