How can I use some plain white ceramic tiles (8 by 8) as part of a wedding reception guest table centerpiece? or any other ideas?

You could clean them off with rubbing alcohol and put out sharpie markers of different (or just 1) color for guests to sign as keepsakes. Take photos from the wedding, and glue onto tiles, then clear coat to protect. The couple could use them later to cover a tabletop, serving tray, or glue on thick felt to the backs, and use as trivets. The tiles would need some type of clear coat later to keep signatures from wearing off. I'm sure there are many different ways to use signed tiles as a way to save the day's memories, just Google it for more ways than you could possibly imagine.
Will this be one of the main tables?
What theme will other tables have?
Do you have a definite color scheme besides white?
Tiles are usually very easy to use in home crafts.
Perhaps you could cover 4 tiles, place them together in the center and set a suitable basket in the center of the tiles. Place real or artificial flowers in basket or use other items, such as flimsy scarves matching your color scheme.
You can use any type of material to cover your tiles.
Thinner material or medium heavy paper usually is easy to work with. A thinner material works well because you want to be able to fold it over the ends of the tiles.
I recently did something similar and found everything that I needed at my local Dollar Tree. This store has 16"X11" 'Wallpaper" that is 'Peel & Stick' so it will stick on your tile and you can use Mod Podge for a finish. They have white designs and many other colors and designs. Very easy to use. It would only take 2 sheets but buy more just in case of a mistake.
Here is a link that demonstrates how to do coasters but your tiles will be the same, just 8x8 instead of 4x4.

Here's hoping everything turns out great.
Thank you. The other colors are blush, periwinkle blue, and pink. They would be used with centerpieces on the guest tables which would be table rounds.
The numbered tiles could be placed on small easels @ tables.
Design a painted 'Mr. & Mrs' wood framed wall art.
You can place several tiles together and write or paste a picture with the names of the bride and groom, like here www.pinterest.com/
