Planning a Bridal Shower ~ Part II

A really cute gift idea when there is not much left on your friends Bridal Registry is get a large basket, buy a bunch of candles, tie them with ribbon and add this sweet poem. It would be great to add candle holders and butane lighter or really nice long matches to the basket also.

Wedding Gift Candle Poem

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 25 The anniversary pair that will keep your love alive.

Congratulations bride and groom (enter names)

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!!
