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

The burning of a candle reminds us of creation, as the burning flame springs forth from the wick like brand new early Spring growth. The word candle literally means to shine, so really candles represent the joy and hopefulness of renewal that comes with the birth of a baby. The flame of a candle has for centuries, been a symbol of renewal and birth. The candle's position in the festivities of an impending birth is assured by history.

Giving candles as candle favors for baby showers came into being because they serve as a reminder of the blessed event that can be enjoyed long after. Each time someone lights the candle will bring back the memory of the day, making it an excellent memento.

Added to the enchantment of burning candles is the aroma that can kindle a sense of tenderness, innocence and rebirth that a darling newborn stirs within us. Positioning candles scented with baby powder and pillars at different places in the room will impart the feeling of tranquility and serenity, relaxing the mother-to-be and her visitors, making an excellent celebration for all.

As a keepsake of remembrance, votives or unique candle tins to correlate with the party theme can be used as favors. A larger version of the baby shower favors could also be given to the expectant mother so she can remember the abundant love of friends and family each and every time she lights it. Candles in jars make the most fantastic prizes and even one-of-a-kind shower gifts and can be located to match any baby shower theme.

Candles are so perfect for decorations at a baby shower. The ambiance of the lit candle is one of joy and celebration. The new mother and her visitors will truly enjoy the enchanting warmth of the candles. A focal point of storks, teddy bears, flowers, or whatever baby shower theme you choose, with a candle in the center is a wonderful accompaniment for the refreshment or gift table.

To make a baby shower particularly memorable, a candle assortment can be designed with one for each shower guest and a bigger candle for the mother-to-be. Lighting the candles should start with the mommy to be.

The new mother lights the largest candle and makes a wish for her new baby. Each guest then lights their 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 a great opportunity for the baby shower guests to voice their love and support for the new parents. Observing the candlelight go from one small flame to a brilliant glow, filling the room with light, will add to the fabulous party.

Donna Gorenflo, owner of Bama Babies & Birthdays understands the ambition to create a momentous baby shower party. Customizing is the important part in making a memorable event and our one-of-a-kind line of personalized favors to the guests have been a favorite by party hosts since before 2001.
