Sweet Sixteen Candle Lighting Ceremony

I would like to know exactly what the 17 candle ceremony is and how it is done

Yeah, i want to do a candle lighting at my sweet sixteen and i want to maybe do something special to categorize the candles. Or maybe do a rhyming thing with my candles or something... I need help
Umm...yeah

The sweet 16-candle lighting is a ceremony where the birthday girl lights of total of 16 candles. She lights each candle in representation of someone who has made a difference in her life. As she lights each candle she can say who the person is and why they have made a difference in her life (May want to keep each one short, as she does have to mention 16 people) or you can listed the 16 people in her programs. The couples in the ceremony are referred to as “the court of honor”.

After the introduction of each couple in her “court of honor”, the birthday girl walks in with her escort (she should be wearing slippers and should not have on her tiara). As a gift to the audience, the birthday girl along with her court of honor presents 1-2 dance routines; traditionally they dance to one slow song and one fast song. There is a crowning ceremony done by the father and Godfather (or uncle), each will carry a small pillow, one with her tiara and one with her shoes (aka-glass slippers). There should be a chair or swing waiting for her to sit in to make a change from her slippers/sneakers into her shoes/pumps. The father and Godfather (or uncle) will assist in the changing of the shoes, and then they will crown her with the tiara. The father will escort her to the dance floor and present his daughter to the world as a young woman, who will then share in a father/daughter dance. After the father/daughter dance is the candle lighting ceremony.
The audience sings happy birthday to the birthday girl …. Then the party begins!
Open dance floor and food/drinks for everyone. Hopes this helps…

In reply to "Debbie"... THANK YOU! I`m writing a comparative analysis of the "Sweet 16" and the "Quinceanera" for a class. What you shared was exactly what I have been looking for! You are a true pro! Thanks!

Each of the 17 candles have a meaning. The first candle is for your parents, the second candle is for your siblings if you have any if not then grandparents. Now candle
3 to 6 is for the rest of your family.
7-14 is for your friends.
15 is your best friend(s)
16 is the guy that is always there for you, usually a boyfriend or your best guy friend. And
17 is inspiration or luck candle.

I am doing a Candle Lighting Ceremony at my Sweet Sixteen Party. Here is how I am going to have it...
1.) I will have the candles on the stage and before we eat I will do this ceremony.
2.) I will chose 16 people who have had a huge impact on my life. Like Parents, Siblings, Grandpartents, Firends, etc.
3.) I will say something about each person as they walk onto the stage and light the candle. ***Remember to keep it short. People will loose intrest***
4.) This is optional: I am going to put each persons picture on the stage and as i tell why i chose this person, their picture will show up on the screen behind me.
