Candles make useful and elegant party favors that remind guests of your celebration every time they light them. If you are holding your own candle party, cute favors will pique your guests' interest in buying more candles or even hosting their own parties. Pick candle party favors that will intrigue your friends or family with interesting scents and shapes, in high-quality yet inexpensive small gifts.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Number of party guests attending
  • Online or print catalogs or physical candle inventory

    Create Favors for Candle Parties

  1. Step 1

    Pick candle party favors with a goal and budget in mind. Use small favors for each guest, such as floating candles or scented tealights. Let guests select their own favors from a tray of popular votives, or have a drawing for a larger favor, such as a pair of tapers or an ornate pillar.

  2. Step 2

    Let your budget guide the number and type of favors you provide. Estimate the number of partygoers and see what you can afford. A small investment on favors could mean a large return on investment through extra sales.

  3. Step 3

    Transform your favors from merchandise samples to gifts by wrapping or decorating them with a bit of ribbon. You might have little gift bags for your favors and a sweet or two from your snack tray to take home.

  4. Pick Candle Favors for Other Parties

  5. Step 1

    Select candles to use as wedding, birthday party or baby shower favors. Find candles that match your party theme, such as hearts, numbers or storks, at a Web site like Blue Bambu.

  6. Step 2

    Throw a candlelight party, and give each guest an unburned candle that matches your decor as a favor. They're bound to remember your party every time they burn the candle!

Tips & Warnings
  • Men as well as women enjoy candles and like to give them as gifts. Don't hesitate to share candle favors with everyone.
  • Pick candle favors that represent the inventory you want to sell.
  • A candle favor is still a potentially hazardous item. Include a hint on safe burning or mention the most relevant advice to your group.
