Wedding Favor Candle

Wedding Favor Candles Make an Inexpensive Gift for Guests
 Denise loved to shop in the Yankee Candle Store, so she knew that they sold a candle called “Wedding Day”.

“Since I was having a candlelight wedding,” she said, “I thought it would be cool to have wedding favor candles for each guest.  I would have one at every place setting at the reception.”

It turned out that choosing wedding favor candles made a less expensive choice for favors than some other items.  Because Denise had a fairly good wedding budget to work with, she ordered the candles from Yankee Candle. At $1.99 each, her total cost for wedding favors for her 250 guests was only $600.

That included the tax and the cost of some ribbon she used to tie on each candle.“The best part,” Denise said, “was that we didn’t have to do a lot of work to prepare the favors. We just tied a bit of ribbon on each, and we were done.”

Of course, for some brides, $600 on favors is too much, but there are ways you can have wedding favor candles at a fraction of the cost.
One bride bought 250 votive candles at two for $1 at a dollar store. She wrapped each in a small piece of colored cellophane and tied the top with a ribbon.  Her total cost for 250 guests, including the cellophane and ribbon, was just over $200.

That same dollar store had small candles in glass jars for $1 each.  Had the bride selected those, she would have had to only tie a piece of ribbon around each.  The cost would have been around $275.
Again, one of the great things about wedding favor candles is that there is not a lot of work involved in putting them together.

Some favor choices are much more labor intensive, and that can be a problem for a very busy bride.
Besides, as Denise noted, everyone loves candles.“All of my guests were so happy with the favors,” she said. “They said they were much better than some other favors they had seen at weddings.”

Wedding favor candles do not have to be expensive, but they will make a memorable favor and are a great way to say “thank you” to your guests for showing their support on your special day.
Tips for giving wedding favor candles:

• Wrap ribbon in your wedding colors around each candle
• If possible, make sure the color of the candle does not clash with the reception décor
• These are especially great favors for evening or candlelight weddings
