Candles - Making a Memory Last Forever

Have you suddenly found yourself in a position where you have the responsibility of organizing an important party? Perhaps you're having an engagement party, or you're throwing a 21st birthday party for one of your kids? No matter what the special occasion is, you'd be surprised at how much difference candles can make. Sure, you will need to spend a bit of money, but if it means your guests will remember the event for many years to come, then it will have been money well spent.

The first thing you'll need to do is decide what types of candles will be best suited to the occasion. For example, you could have a couple of large, scented pillar candles standing near the entrance to the venue so that guests arriving are immediately greeted by a wonderful scent.

When it comes to choosing candles for the tables, your options are virtually endless. From realistic looking cup-cake candles, to life-like ice-cream candles, you'll certainly have no difficulty impressing your guests. Of course, if you're laying on a buffet you can really go to town. You can get your guests tripping over their own feet as they scramble for those breads and crackers, simply by burning a unique "bakery scented" candle nearby. Alternatively, light a "berry scented" or "fruit scented" candle near the desserts, and watch how your guests respond to the wonderful aroma.

Now, once you've eventually managed to make up your mind regarding the different styles of candles you want, you'll then have to decide sort of candles you prefer. For example, do you want paraffin wax candles, do you want soy wax candles, or would you rather have gel candles? Of course, if gel candles are your favorite, you may not be able to get certain designs, although they are available in all the different scents. Although gel candles have become immensely popular, soy wax candles are catching up fast as more and more people steer away from paraffin wax candles. The biggest advantage of paraffin wax candles is that they are the cheapest candles to make, and as a result, they're also the most economical candles to buy.

No matter what sort of candles you choose, you can be sure that you'll only be limited by your own imagination because there really is so much to choose from.
