Many couples give them as gifts to the wedding party. That saves the bride and groom the hustle of looking for appropriate gifts. Personalized, heirloom candles are always appropriate. Also from my experience I can safely say that most couples had their parents, best man, maid of honor or other relatives order and pay for the candles as a gift to the newlyweds. In addition, if you use the candles as centerpieces to decorate your reception tables, you'll save a lot of money because instead of a flower arrangement all you'll need is a flower ring or a wreath.
Personalized candles are fun to make.
Make today's special moment tomorrow's heirloom.
