How does the time of the party affect my centerpiece selection?
An evening celebration can be enhanced by candlelight. Place your centerpiece on a mirror surrounded by flickering votive candles for a room filled with ambiance. A beautiful alternative would be slender tapers or votive candles scattered throughout greenery. Candles are one of the most inexpensive decorations with shining results.
What best suits my Honoree's personality?
There really is something for everyone. Choose the centerpiece that when you see it, you know the Honoree will love it.

There were enough candles on the torte to symbolize one for each year of life and some added candles for upcoming years. Today, the ritual of blowing out the candles is an expected birthday party tradition. Preceded by the singing of Happy Birthday to You, the guests take a moment to focus on the birthday Honoree as the candles burn brightly. Once the song is completed, a private wish is made only to come true if all the candles are extinguished in a single breath. The cake is then shared with the guests representing joy and togetherness. Once available only to the wealthy, birthday cakes complete with the proper number of candles have become a popular tradition. This sweet treat only gets better served with a side of ice cream.
