Delightful Candle Wedding Favors

Candles are a popular choice when it comes to wedding favors and there is a wide variety of styles to choose from.  From tea lights to votives, pillars and jars, it is a good idea to research the different types of candles and their holders before you place your favor order.

 

Tea lights: these are small candles in silver cups and are often sold in sets.  Basic white tea lights are the cheapest and are usually sold in bags of ten or more.  There is also a wide choice of colored and scented tea lights as well as boxed gift sets.  With tea lights you will need to include a pretty holder so they can be used safely.  Check out dollar stores and supermarkets for inexpensive tea light sets.

 

Votives: these are larger than tea lights standing around 2 inches tall.  They are a nice size for wedding favors and make a nicer offering than a single tea light.  Again you will need to find a nice holder to accompany it.  White votives are a nice choice for a traditional wedding, whilst you will also find colored and scented varieties to suit other wedding styles.

 

Taper or Dinner: these are the tall, thin candles you usually see standing in candelabras or on elegant candle sticks.  They are not particularly popular as wedding favors but boxed sets with mini holders can make a nice choice.

 

Pillar: these are larger and wider and are usually seen in churches and as home décor accessories.  They are not really suitable as favors.

 

Jar Candles: these are candles in stylish glass jars with lids. They have become very popular in recent times and are available in a wide range of colors, sizes and scents.  Although more pricey than votives or tea lights they do come set in a glass jar so you will not need to add a holder as well and the jar also offers the potential to add a personalized label.

 

You will also find a wide choice of novelty and shaped or carved candles which could prove perfect for a themed wedding.  From snowballs to sea shells, flip flops to fairytale carriages there are candles available for every style of wedding!

What do the lines above and below candle sticks mean?

When looking at stock movement charts??

The lines are called 'shadows'. The line at the top of a candle stick is the high of that period. The shadow/line at the bottom. is the low of that period.
