Unity Candle for your Wedding

The lighting of a unity candle is a huge wedding tradition that is seen in most wedding ceremonies. It symbolizes the joining of two families. It usually consists of two long taper candles and a bigger unity candle.

The taper candles are lit either by the bride and groom or by representatives from each family. It is then used by the bride and groom to light the unity candle, signifying their unity, two becoming one. The taper candles can be blown out to indicate that the their lives are permanently merged, or if can be left burning beside the unity candle to show that they may be united as one, but their individuality still remains.

Like wedding favors and gifts, unity candles can now be personalized. It can be simple or elaborate. It can have the couple's name and wedding date printed on it. Sometimes a special quote or a short poem that the couple really likes can be printed on it.

For formal, black-tie weddings, a Personalized Luisant Unity Candle would be perfect.

What should you give to your Groomsmen?

It has been a long tradition, exactly when this tradition started is somehow a little difficult to find out. But giving personalized groomsmen gift like those in the Engraved Well online store, is somehow becoming the 'in' thing that most grooms give their groomsmen. After a careful consideration on the role groomsmen plays in a wedding, although, some may argue that they don't have much of a role, so why spend money, and give gifts for them.

This idea is entirely wrong since groomsmen play a significant role to the groom and to the wedding itself. Besides providing a great night out, throwing that bachelors party for groom, they are also assigned some task, depending on how big or small the wedding is. But they are the ones who sometimes becomes the usher, assisting guests to their seats and entertaining guests. They were there for the formal wear fitting, wedding and dinner rehearsal. They spent much of their time to give support to the groom whose single days are numbered.

So now, it is the grooms turn to show his effort and give gifts to his friends, gifts they would remember and use as much as they can. Personalized wedding gifts for groomsmen can be given as token for the help and effort they had given. Although, the only possible scenario that could happen when finding a groomsmen gift is that almost all stores have the same items. But of course, they have already spent much time together, the groom might already have the right idea on what his groomsmen do in their spare time.



Selecting the right gift will also depend on what they do and how they like spending their time and weekend in. For the busy executives, the groom can give a Carbon Fiber Pen, a Leather Wrapped Pen or a Woven Metal Pen and even a Leather Business Card Case. While for those who are beer lovers, he can give a 16 Oz. Beer Stein which have different designs to suit their hobbies, or he can also give them a gift set which contains a Brushed Flask And Zippo Lighter. If the groom can't find the right words to tell his groomsmen how he appreciate their participation in the wedding, a Personalized Groomsman Frame can do it! It helps recall all the good times leading up to the big day.

A personalized High Polished Brass Square Cufflink, a High Polish Silver Pocket Watch, or even a Personalized Rawlings “Big-Stick” Bat with their names or his name and his bride's name with the date of the wedding can also be given. There are a hundred ways on making the gift personalized and even make it unique for ever occasion. Use the idea on how well the groom knows the groomsmen and he can start from there.
