For DIY Brides

Ok so I am attempting one DIY project -- I want to do the votive place cards and candle table numbers.

Now my question -- any suggestions on where to buy the votives with candles in bulk and where can I get the Vellum paper?

TIA

candles4less.com sells bulk candles and I got 50 sheets of vellum for $10 at Staples

Re: For DIY Brides

Re: For DIY Brides

I didn't do the votives, but a friend of mine ordered votives from there. I did the candle table #'s - I bought the vases at the dollar tree. I bought the ink jet vellum at staples and I ended up needing to cut about an inch off the top. I also bought ghetto votive candles at MIchael's they were $6 for 24 and I had a 40% coupon. They look better though because the candles are lower than normal votives and the light shines over the whole thing, not just the top.
