Fun Ideas For Unity Candles
If you are planning a wedding and plan to have a unity candle as part of the ceremony, you may wish to think outside the box.
Traditionally, the unity candle involves three candles. The bride has one, the groom the other, and their two lighted candles light the third candle. This is done to present the coming of these two people to make one unit. In a few alternate methods, family members are invited to take part in the unity candle lighting, often the mums of the bride and bridegroom, or other close members of the family unit. Each family then lights a candle, and together they light the unity candle to symbolize of the getting together of the families.
Now, the’re a few twists you can add to this fairly conventional aspect of a wedding service. You can give each guest with an unlit candle when they reach the ceremony. After the happy couple lights the unity candle, they can ask the guests to move to the front of the church (or wherever the ceremony is being held) and light their candles with the lighted unity candle. This may take a bit of time and may be best with a smaller guest list. But it is a meaningful way to not just get your invited guests mixed up in ceremony itself, but also symbolize the union of family and friends with the marriage.
If there is a large guest list and it might be a prohibitive waste of time to do a candle lighting involving everyone at the ceremony, some newlyweds like to bring the unity candle to the reception. Light the candle again and provide each guest with a small votive candle (the candle holder will be on the tables at individual table settings). As guests come into the reception area or hall, they can light their votive and take it to their table to place into the votive holder. This small votive candle can be used as a wedding favor gift, particularly if you decorate or enhance a plain votive candleholder in a few way to coordinate with your wedding.
Needless to say, you can forget having a unity candle at the ceremony altogether. Many brides these days are attempting to reduce the length of the ceremony and spend more time planning the reception. In that light, some select to do away with a unity candle altogether. You can for certain do this, or you can reduce it out of the ceremony and make it part of the reception.
To do this, you can employ the votive candle option suggested above, or you can easily incorporate the unity candle lighting into the reception activities themselves. As an example, you could pick out a quiet moment in the reception to possess a lighting of the unity candle. It may well be during a short prayer before the serving of the meal, or right prior to the cake is cut. In this case, the unity candle can then be used as decoration on the cake table. As the bride and groom cut the cake and pieces are served to guests, the candle can likewise serve as an aid to your memory of the couple’s new bond and that the bond is shared with everyone invited as well.
Although having a unity candle at the wedding ceremony or reception isn’t necessary, it is certainly an option that lots of brides and grooms opt to include. But it is essential to remember that as with so much surrounding wedding planning there are methods to make it unique and fascinating and special to the couple getting hitched.
