What do you ladies think of Yankee Candles as a wedding favor? I am in love with Yankee Candles and was thinking about doing the small jars like all fall-ish colors/scents....when they are on sale...like right now, I can get them for about $3.60 each with tax...
If your answer is yes, do you think its cheesy to do ONE per couple? They ARE the small jars....but its YANKEE CANDLE! Personally, I would love the favor if that was my gift as a guest.
Let me know your input! TIA!!!

Go to the Yankee Candles Outlet and you can get the bigger one for less than retail price. For a wedding, I would personally go with a bigger one. It looks better when you package them for favors. Or if you prefer the smaller one, I would pkg three mini candles.
I am starting to lean towards doing the medium size jar and doing one per couple but I am definately looking to spend $5 max ..I'll need to check out the outlet to see if $5 is even a realistic price (highly doubtful). With this economy, I wonder if they can do anything if we are purchasing say 70 candles....cant hurt to ask right?
I am not much of a negotiator..bargaineer...I'll have to bring FH!
Yup, I would ask for bargain or price slash. Ask for in store specials or store coupons. It def can't hurt. I'm not good at bargaining either! I just buy what I like

I love the idea and you can wrap them in tulle making them look fancy! It something that everyone can use or even regift(lol)but still is something I would love/appreciate to get as a favor.
My question would be is to ask the people at Yankee Candle how long does the scent last even if you dont use it(I would worry that in a year that scent wont smell the same or less strong)

LOVEEE the idea and would love to get one!
Here is my only issue with scented candles at a function. IF they will be near/on the tables or in the room food is served, sounds weird but scented candles alter the way food tastes big time! SO considering how much $$ you are paying for your reception/food this might be something you might want to keep in mind. This is why you VERY rarely see scented candles in restaurants... it messes with your senses some how. Just something to keep in mind =)

Good point..If we do one per person, there will be around 160 ......it wont be quite as fragrant as the aisle in BBB but definately a good point. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!!! We'll have to come up with a way to package them babies up to keep the smelly in

You do have a point, but the Yankee candle jars have tight lids, so you probably won't be able to smell anything.
