Votive Candle with Prayer for Baby
Votive Candle with Prayer for Baby
*Buy inexpensive pink or blue (or yellow, green or white - if gender is unknown) votive candles. You can find these in bulk at a store like Garden Ridge.
*You can also buy inexpensive clear glass votive candle holders (again, you can find these in bulk at a store like Garden Ridge) to put the candles in, but this is not necessary - candle only is fine.
*Wrap the candles (with or without holders) in cellophane with a ribbon to tie, or place in organza bags with ribbon pulls.
*Attach this prayer by punching a hole in paper & threading the ribbon through the paper:
"Here's a candle for you to light,
Once the stork has made its flight.
With the flicker of the flame,
Please say a prayer in (insert baby's name)'s name."
*Last line example: "Please say a prayer in Grace's/Michael's name." .... or if name unknown: "Please say a prayer in this sweet baby's name."
