Buying Guide

Consider scent intensity

Choose lightly scented options like lavender-scented candles when favors will be distributed in close quarters to avoid overwhelming guests or conflicting with food aromas

Pick appropriate burn form

Tealight-style candles are compact and safe for single-use favors, while votives or pillars may be better for longer burn or decorative display

Match pack size to guest list

Select multi-piece sets (commonly 24-piece) to ensure you have one favor per guest and a few extras for unexpected attendees

Check fragrance and ingredient labeling

Look for clearly labeled scents and basic ingredient info to accommodate guests with sensitivities or fragrance preferences

Assess presentation and ease of wrapping

Favor-friendly candles should be easy to group into organza bags or small boxes; flat, uniform shapes simplify packaging and transport
