Candle
Lighting |
A memory candle for deceased relative(s)
may be lit by the Guest of Honor. Typically this
is announced by the Guest of Honor, and is done
either before the first candle is announced, or
before the parents’ candle is announced. Alternatively,
one of the candles on the cake can be lit as a
memory candle—this would be announced at the time
of that candle.
|
| Will there be a memory candle? |
|
| Will the MC or the Guest of Honor be calling
the guests up to the cake? |
|
| Should the MC escort the guests to the cake
as they are called? |
|
Include the names of people who will be called
to cut the cake. Write the names as the Guest
of Honor calls them (ex. Aunt Rose and Uncle Bob
or Bubba and Zayde). The usual order for candle
lighting is:
*Grandparents
*Aunts *Uncles
*Cousins
*Older relatives
*Younger relatives
*Friends of parents
*Siblings
*Guest of Honor
|
The usual amount of candles is 14
(13 and one for good luck). Try to group relatives
and friends together to keep the amount of candles
to 14. Please choose songs to coordinate with
each candle. You may choose all Jewish music,
any other upbeat, fun song, or a combination of
both. You may want to choose a specific song for
each person or group lighting the candle. If you
do not have specific preferences for songs, Elite
DJ’s will choose upbeat music to compliment each
candle.
