Why Candle Favors Make the Perfect Bridal Shower Gift
When planning a bridal shower, the little details are what make the day magical—and candle bridal shower favors are one of the most meaningful touches you can add. Elegant, practical, and wonderfully aromatic, these personalized gifts leave a lasting impression on every guest.

The Sentimental Power of Candles
Candles symbolize warmth, light, and new beginnings—making them a perfect metaphor for the bride’s journey ahead. Whether it’s a lavender scent to soothe or vanilla to comfort, each candle holds a special sentiment. Personalized wooden touches, like FavorNest’s engraved candle lids, add a rustic charm that guests will cherish long after the party.
