Candles at bridal shower

Question

im going to be planning a bridal shower for my friend at work(in an office) my cousins bridal party was about 2 months ago and at hers, her soon-to-be sister in law had a specific number of different color candles in a little silk pouch. Every candle represented something different. for example the red one symbolized the passion the two of them would share on their honeymoon so they had to burn it on that night...there was another color that would symbolize there first fight so on on and so forth can anyone help me figure out how many candles,what to say and what they mean so i can do the same for my friend ..and one more thing can i invite guys to the bridal shower at work because it would feel bad if i didnt!! thnx in advance...oh and i cant ask my cousins sister in law because me and my cousin are not on speaking terms..k thnx guys!!!

Answer 1

Well if it's a hen shower you can't invite guys, otherwise of course you invite them (by definition). If only the bride is going to be at the shower I'd recommend a hen shower, but if it's going to be both of the couple then have a normal one.

Answer 2

Silly candle story from my sister's wedding...

The decorations contained candles which were a crucial part of the floral arrangements.  Each table setting was a work of art.

Unfortunately, no one put two and two together.  The groom's mother, the bride's grandmother and a few other guests were all on oxygen.  The candles had to all be extinguished for safety reasons.

Answer 3

sounds good

Answer 4

Here's the poem and the candles are listed in it:

A basket of candles that come in a pair

In all different colors, for you two to share

The white ones burn first

They are wrapped in white lace

To celebrate your first married night

In your new chosen place.

The green pair is taller, and also much thinner

Burn with the first company, you have over for dinner.

The dark blue candles are for after your first fight

Use them to burn while making up all night.

Pink candles set the mood and pave the way

For your first married Valentine’s Day.

Now, when your first year of marriage is through

The cream anniversary pair, will light for you two.

Red candles aflame, both your futures are bright

Celebrate promotions you’ve worked toward with all of your might.

By this time we hope, maybe, just maybe

You can light the purple ones, on the birth of your baby.

And just when you thought you’d put these away

Take the light blue ones out-for your fifth anniversary day.

Now just one more pair left - for the big 2 5

The anniversary pair that will keep your love alive.

Congratulations xx and xx

On the start of your forever

May the two of you always be happy together

And burn these candles

Just the way we said

But please don’t forget-blow them out before bed
