I am and Michaels has pre-cut vellum wraps for the votives so basically all you have to do is print them then tape them on

sweet.....I'm so excited for that. What department do they sell those in?

My question is how do guests take their candles to the tables...aren't they hot. Do they get them after cocktail hour? We just thought about doing that tonight.

I picked up votive candles that have a stem on them so my guests could grab them by the stem so they wouldn't get burned. Found them at a.c. moore... they sometimes run them on sale 3 for $1. Thought it would add extra candle light to the table

are they the ones with the silver hearts. They look like they are very narrow. I like just to wrap the candle, not the holder
