My guest list will be between 100 to 120 people (max). I was thinking of giving out candles because everyone knows I'm obessesd with them. The candles I like the most are $7. Is that a lot of money to be spending on favors? I saw some knotties said $1 a guest but I don't even know what that would be! Any ideas?
Re: Candles?
I guess it depends on your budget. Candles for wedding favors often are considered the most romantic.. But you are looking at $700.00 for one favor. For me personally I think that's too much...check out ebay they all types
my daughter's wedding ..72-Worthy Champagne Flute Candle Wedding Favors$167.87

I like scented candles, but as PP said, I definitely have preferences re: scent. I like vanilla, for instance, but FI doesn't (he was in real estate for a while and too many people try to use cheap vanilla candles to fragrance their home for showing ... so he's smelled cheap-vanilla-mixed-with-awful-odors so often that he reeeeally dislikes vanilla now). If you go with scented, I'd suggest that you have a several different scents, let guests choose their own and have some unscented ones available, too.

I second the poster who suggested having some unscented and some in a range of scents. Or, just do all unscented. Many people have allergies and can't do scented things, or are really specific and can't just do any old scented thing.
Good luck
