Candles...
Hi...I just wanted some input about having scented candles...my guest list is about 250 people so the space may be a little limited but I was thinking about puttng scented votives in a rose bowl with the bowl deocorated accordingly of course. With such a space do you think the scent of the Party Lite Candles would be to much for the guests for such a space...even if I didn`t have scented candles on EVERY table but every other table would it still be too much?..Please HELP!!!

Hello,
It is really not good to use a bunch of scented candles. If you do any maybe just a few for the whole room. To much smell might give your guess headaches..:(
If you want to use the scented candles you might want to think about using one or two in your hotel room afterwards..:) I have had lots of fun spreading rose petals and lighting candles in the bride`s and groom`s hotel room for when they come up after the reception..:)

Hi, Leanne
First let me say congratution on your wedding.
Now too Your question, I would sugest that u limited the scented candles to ever other table or space,and also chose a light scent and one that not to strong ,as you what the light and the centerpice its self to be the thing people notice not so much the scent form the candles . A little scent go a long way if its a good candle .. I hope this helps neketa

I would think about "passing" on the scented candles....or maybe just for your head table. Some people have allergic reactions to scents. Have you ever known someone to avoid the fragrance department of a store??? Sometimes just the scent will get a person a little sick to their stomach. That is why the companies of haircare, deodorant, make-up, etc. Have come out with non-fragrance products. Personally I like a fresh clean scent, but would not have it at a large gathering, thinking of others.

I would suggest passing on the candles at the dining tables b/c it`s not recommended to use scented candles when your eating.

I would say that the scented candles depend on the room. I helped a bride with her wedding in a large hall and we used scented candles (apple blossom) and it was awesome. The room smelled wonderful - similar to what fresh flowers might smell like - and we had several compliments on that.
So, if your hall is a larger room, or has taller ceilings, I would go with the scented - try to pick a scent that is not overpowering such as jasmine or patchouli=), but is softer and sweeter. Good luck!

Yes why do they have to be scented candles....a lot of people have allergies to certian scents....there is enough mixed scents from people wearing cologne and perfumes without adding to the smells with scented candles. Just my opinion.....I would go for unscented....good luck
