Gel Wedding and Party Candle Favors

May 1, 2008 by SandraW

Planning a wedding or any other special event can be both exciting and stressful, but finding the perfect wedding favors can add an extra layer of stress. You want something unique and memorable, yet affordable and easy to make. That’s where these gel candle favors come in!

I stumbled upon these beautiful gel candle favors on Wedding Reception Ideas and immediately fell in love with their simplicity and elegance. The best part is, you can easily customize them to fit your theme or color scheme.

One design that caught my eye was the flutes with fall leaves. The combination of the clear gel with the autumn leaves creates a stunning visual effect. If you’re not a fan of the fall theme, you could easily swap out the leaves for other plants or flowers to match your event’s theme.

Another design that stood out to me was the fuschia orchid gel candle. This design is perfect for a summer event with its bright and cheerful colors. The simplicity of this design is what makes it so elegant and eye-catching. You could also switch out the orchid for another type of flower to match your theme.

If you’re feeling crafty, you can easily make these gel candle favors yourself. All you need are some glass containers, gel wax, wicks, and any decorations you want to add. You can find these supplies at your local craft store or online. Simply follow the instructions on the gel wax package to melt and pour the wax into the containers. Once the wax has cooled, you can add any decorations you want, such as flowers, leaves, or even small figurines.

Customizing the color of the gel wax is another way to make these favors unique. You could match the color to your event’s theme or go with a color that’s meaningful to you. Adding a scent to the gel wax is another way to personalize these favors. You could choose a scent that reminds you of your event or go with a classic scent like vanilla or lavender.

These gel candle favors are a perfect addition to any wedding, shower, or party. They are affordable, easy to make, and can be customized to fit any theme or color scheme. You can find more design inspiration and instructions on Wedding Reception Ideas or get creative and come up with your own unique designs.

I found them at Wedding Reception Ideas but they would work for almost any occasion.

The flutes with fall leaves are beautiful and you could customize it with other plants so don’t have to go with the fall theme. I love how they used red colored gel at the top of this design.

Fun Facts About Flags

Whether you celebrate Flag Day (June 14 in the United States, it honors the day in 1777 that the American flag was officially adopted) or just want to do a flag unit study, there are lots of interesting flags around the world that you can talk about.

For example, did you know there’s one flag that isn’t a rectangle? The flag of Nepal is the only national flag that isn’t quadrilateral (Switzerland and Vatican City both have flags that are square). Nepal’s flag is shaped like two stacked triangles, which represent the Himalayan Mountains, as well as the two main national religions, Hinduism and Buddhism.

Several flags feature animals, mostly lions, bears and eagles. Two flag feature dragons. The flag of Bhutan has a representation of a Druk, a mythical thunder dragon, while the flag of Wales has a Welsh dragon.

Paraguay is the only country recognized by the United Nations that has a flag that is different on the front and back. The flag has red, white and blue horizontal stripes, with the nation’s coat of arms on the front and the seal of the treasury on the back. (Oregon is the only US state with a flag that is different on the front and back. The front shows a seal with an eagle, 33 stars for its number in the union, and the words “state of Oregon” and the date it was admitted, 1859. The back has a picture of a beaver.)

The flag of Denmark, known as the Dannebrog, is the oldest continuously used flag in the world. Legend has it the flag fell from the sky during a battle in 1219 in present-day Estonia, helping the Danish to an unexpected victory. Because of that, it was adopted as the national flag and has been in use for more than 800 years. Denmark’s flag is celebrated on June 15 each year, called Valdemar’s Day after the king leading the crusade where the flag allegedly appeared.

Purple is a rare color on national flags because it was historically expensive to produce. The only flags that use it (and it’s sometimes hard to see) are Dominica, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Mexico and Spain. The Wiphala flag of Bolivia also contains purple.

There’s a fun page on Wikipedia that shows different flags arranged by design, so you can see all the tricolor flags, all the flags with stars, triangles, people and more. You can also look at flags by color.

If this has piqued your interest, maybe you’ll want to learn more about vexillology, the study of the history, design and symbolism of flags.
