Frequently asked questions when buying baptism candles

How many candles do I need for the baptism ceremony? Are candles provided at the church?

At the minimum, you need to have 2 small candles – one for the godfather and one for the godmother. Of course, you won't be left without candles if you don't have decorated ones. The church will provide plain orange candles. However, in our opinion, decorated candles look much better.

Can the embroidery on the napkins be in a different color than shown in the photos?

Yes, you can order embroidery of our designs in any colors that match your attire or the baby's clothing.

Can I buy only the decorations for the candles?

Yes. We understand that you may have your own candles. That's why we offer the option to purchase candle decorations separately, without the candles.
