How to choose
The fastest way through Candle + Votive Favors is to decide what the candle has to do on the day: light the table, hold a theme together, or go home in a guest's bag.
| A personalized tealight glass holder | Choose it when the favor doubles as the table lighting. One at each place setting gives you candlelight through the meal and a keepsake with your names on it. |
|---|---|
| A table candle lantern | Choose it when you want fewer, larger pieces on each table instead of one favor per guest. The white wedding lantern suits a formal room and the sea shell wood lantern suits a beach or nautical theme. |
| A wine bottle or vineyard candle | Choose it for a winery, vineyard or rehearsal-dinner table where the wine theme runs through the whole evening. The Vineyard Wine Candle arrives in a wedding gift box, so it is ready to hand out. |
| A set of mini candles | Choose the Mini Green Leaf Candles - Set of 6 when you need several small candles for a garden theme, a grouped centerpiece, or to split across a few tables. |
| A decor cup that holds a candle | Choose the Personalized Mini Polished Julep Table Decor Cup when you want one piece that can hold a tealight at the reception and a pen, flowers or trinkets at home. |
