    try and ebay or dollar stores for bags of stones.   There is place down here that sells them for $10 a bag.   Which is cheap for down here, so in the states I'm sure you can get them for a whole lot less.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    I'm not sure it will work with candles, but the jelly balls that florists use to keep flowers alive are fairly cheap, and I just saw some at the dollar store (clear only). If you want some inexpensively, with colors, try here:

    These might work with candles if you put another glass candle holder inside the jelly balls. Not sure how you are arranging this.

    You could also use stones, similar to the ones that are used for fish tanks

    Good luck.

    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146
