Party Games

Games are an essential and expected part of any party. Candle parties aren't any different!!! Below are some party games that I use for my own parties.



LEFT AND RIGHT GAME


This is a great game to get the party going. I hand out a free votive candle to every other party guest, but you may want to just hand out a few depending on the number of guests. As you say either left or right, the candles get passed along. Total chaos usually follows, but the guests will relaxed and in the mood to have fun and buy some candles!!

I left my house and I was on the way to Hostess' house to come for the party, but I left the directions at home right by the phone! I knew right away that I needed to have the right directions to Hostess's house, so I turned left and I turned right and made my way right back to my house for the right directions. Sure enough, there they were, right where I had left them, right next to the phone. Finally, I was on the right track. I arrived right on time and set up my display right over here. You all arrived and sat right down too. So, I'll get right to work and tell you all about my wonderful products. I hope nothing will be left out. If you left home with the intentions of shopping for gifts tonight, remember we have the right gift for everyone. Review your shopping list as we wouldn't want anyone to be left out. I have just the right gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, and special occasions. You have my guarantee; that you will be happy with candles that you purchase tonnight, so let me get right to the point! When your order arrives, please check it right away and if something is not right please call me and you can be sure I will take care of it right away and make it right. You don't want to be left with something you are not happy with, right? If you'd like to be a Hostess and earn free candles, talk to me right after the party, I'm sure Hostess would really appreciate it as we don't want anyone to feel left out. Right now I want to thank you all for coming and I hope you will ask questions so you won't feel left out. I know you can't wait to see if we have your favourite scent, so without further delay I will get right to the point of this gathering, which is sharing my candles with you. With that said there is really nothing left for me to do now except to congratulate our winners! So, who are the lucky people holding those candles?



PASS THE GIFT GAME


Hand the hostess a small wrapped gift. I usually pick a small inexpensive pillar candle or a packet of floating candles. Something attractive, but inexpensive. Address your first comment to her and then to the guest who the gift is passed to each time.


You thought all the gifts were meant for you. But I have other items too.

So hold up this gift and look around, and give it to the one with eyes of brown.

You think you are the lucky one, but let us all share in the fun!

Look around with eyes discreet, and give it to the one with the smallest feet.

Your feet are tiny and very small. Now hand it to someone very tall.

Please, take your time, don't be harried. Give it to the one who is longest married.

You must be proud of your married life, now pass this on to the newest wife.

Of this parcel you are bereft, give it to the one on your left.

The largest earring I'm looking for now, if you're wearing them, step up with a bow.

Now to those with buttons, any kind, the most you can find gets the gift at this time.

Now don't get cross and please don't fight, but pass it to the lady third on the right.
