Candles that burn out too fast

I am using votive candles and I think they last longer than tea lights and floating candles but I'm not going to worry about it too much if they burn out before the end of the reception. I don't think anyone will notice or care. To be honest when I go to weddings, I notice the ambiance and decorations at the beginning of the night but by the end (after a few cocktails) everything but music, food, and drink is lost on me =)

I bought jumbo floating candles, they say that they burn for 7-8 hours.... I will test one out this weekend

We just used tealights. They didn't burn the entire reception, but we bought an extra package to refill through the night. Thankfully, our catering staff was amazing, and took care of it without being asked. Honestly though, they could have all burned out and I wouldn't have even noticed, ha!

i'm using oil lamps and tapers.

We purchased floating votives that will last 8 hours (per packaging - I have not tested them).

However, we will not be lighting our candles until later, as the sun will not be setting until 9:00-9:30 pm and our venue has 5 walls with 5 windows each. You may be able to save candle that way...

I am using regular floating candles - tested and they burn about 3 yours. Since our reception is outdoors under a tent, we won't even light them until sun goes down which is about halfway through our reception so they should be fine.

I have been stuck at work and have not been able to log on to WW all day ladies! So sorry!

Thank you for the advice, I guess I should just use them and bring refills just in case? I'll talk to my venue about that and see if they will keep an eye on them.

I have these.

I wouldnt worry. If guests are still sitting down and staring at your candles instead of cutting up the dance floor then they need to learn how to have a good time.

@ Dex - LOL - you are right!

@ Future Mrs.J - Thanks for that!
