Has anyone given or received the bridal shower candles with poem?
DH's friend's FI's shower is coming up, and I am buying the basket of candles that go with the poem. Are they usually the long, tapered ones? It sounded like from the poem that all colors come in pairs? Not sure what to buy...TIA!

One of my BMs did this for me for my shower. They were the long tapered candles and I loved it.

Re: Has anyone given or received the bridal shower candles with poem?
found it Beth!
A Basket of Candles
For bride name
A basket of candles That come in a pair
In all different colors, For you two to share
The white ones burn first
They are wrapped in white lace
To celebrate your first married night
In your new chosen place
The green pair is taller, and also much thinner
Burn with the first company, you have over for dinner
The dark blue candles are for after your first fight
Use them to burn while making up all night
Pink candles set the mood and pave the way
For your first married Valentine’s Day
Now, when your first year of marriage is through
The cream anniversary pair, will light for you two.
Red candles aflame, both your futures are bright.
Celebrate promotions you’ve worked toward with all of your might.
By this time we hope, maybe, just maybe
You can light the purple ones, on the birth of your baby,
And just when you thought, you’d put these away
Take the light blue ones out-for your fifth anniversary day.
Now just one more pair left-for the big 2 5
The anniversary pair that will keep your love alive
Congratulations bride and groom (enter names)
On the start of your forever
May the two of you always be happy together
And burn these candles
Just the way we said
But please don’t forget-blow them out before bed!
With love,
Your bridal party

Re: Has anyone given or received the bridal shower candles with poem?
I think assorted sizes would be nice so they can be used either separately or together or in different rooms!

If I get the shorter ones, do I still buy pairs of them? I am confused by "A basket of candles That come in a pair"
That makes sense for tapered ones, that always go together, but even for shorter ones?
Should I change the line to
"A basket of candles to flare
In all different colors, For you two to share"
or
"A basket of candles to light if you care
In all different colors, For you two to share"

Re: Has anyone given or received the bridal shower candles with poem?
I have a stupid question - for the candles that are in a pair and are wrapped in "plastic" should I remove the plastic? I don't want them to get ruined if she's not going to use them right away but on the other hand I don't think they look nice like that - help please!

When I did it, I didn't remove the plastic, because the candles were squished together in the basket...
OH,, and I hope I get one too!!!!!
