Baby Shower Candle Favors - Symbolic in Their Use
authored by Donna Gorenflo

When someone lights a candle, it reminds us of creation, as the flame covers the wick like brand new growth in the spring. The word candle means to shine, so really a candle is a representation of the happiness and optimism of renewal that comes with the birth of a baby. The burning flame of a candle has for many years, signified new beginnings and renewal. The candle's position in the celebration of a coming birth at a baby shower is assured by history.

As a token of remembrance, votive candles or decorative candle tins to match the baby shower theme can be used as baby shower favors. A bigger version can also be given to the mother-to-be so she can keep in remembrance the abundant love of family and friends every time she lights it. Jar candles make the most excellent door prizes and even exceptional baby gifts and can be discovered to fit any theme used for a baby shower.

Presenting candles as favors to the guests came into being because they remind us of the blessed event. Every time the candle is lit will bring back the memory of the baby shower, making the candle an excellent memory trigger.

Along with the enchantment of burning candles is the scent that can generate a sense of innocence, delicacy and rebirth that a newborn stirs within us. Setting baby powder scented votives and pillars at various spots in the room will communicate the sense of peacefulness and serenity, relaxing the mother-to-be and her guests, allowing for a great party experience for everyone.

Candles are excellent for baby shower decorations. The ambiance of the glowing candle is one of celebration and joy. The new mom and the guests will thoroughly enjoy the splendid warmth cast by the glow of a candle. A centerpiece of teddy bears, flowers, storks, or whatever theme you choose, with a center candle makes a beautiful finishing touch for the refreshment or gift table.

To make a baby shower particularly memorable, an array of candles can be designed with a candle for each baby shower guest and a larger candle for the expectant mother. The lighting of the candles begins with the expectant mother.

She will light the largest candle and expresses her wishes for her new baby. The guests then lights one of the smaller, individual candles from the main candle and bestows their blessings on the new child, for example, May he or she be kind and compassionate or may she be a blessing to the daddy and mommy. This is an ideal opportunity for the visitors to declare their support for the mother and father. Observing the candlelight go from one small flame to a beaming glow, filling the entire room with light, can only add to the fantastic baby shower memories.
