Re: Girls who need votive holders
I just posted this for the info about votives not necessarily the votive place cards. I am using the votives as part of my centerpiece and the candles need to burn more than 4 hours and tealights usually dont burn that long.

Re: Girls who need votive holders
They are pretty large, they are on the tall side but are nice quality, I used them for my eparty and they burned for the whole 6 hours, we had to blow them out at the end.

Well, I was going to use the votive candles from White Barn Candle Company - these are for my favors. We're painting the glass holders with Treble Clefs and putting either candles or hershey kisses in them.
Do you happen to know if they'd work with the White Barn votives?

Re: Girls who need votive holders
I did as the centerpiece silver hollogram gift bags filled with candy and they were suppose to have ballons tied on fish string and then attached to a fishing weight inside the bag, but the fish string idea was taking to long so party city just attached them to regular string. I put tissue paper in the bag and then put the candy on top, I put in hershey kisses for the adults and smarties for the kids. I then placed them on the table with a white piece of fabric and then the black table cloth underneath. And then put four votives in the corners of the square white fabric like the picture I have included
I still have the bags and the votives if you want to borrow them, but then I need them back because I am using them for the cocktail hour, (the votives I mean) I would also like the bags back so I can lend them to other people. I also have little bags that I placed all around the room with balloons. Where are you having your eparty.
Check places like Mace's. I got a case of 12 glass votive holders (beautiful round ones) for $2.99 a case!!! Discount stores are great for stuff like that.

Whoa! $2.99 a case?!
That's great!
The Cudge's ones are the perfect size though. I'll check into both. Either way, you guys just saved me a BUNCH!
Thank you!
