Candles are the easiest most inexpensive way to decorate your home &welcome your guest. Each type of candle is used a different way in order to get the most burning time and use of your money.

• PartyLite candles from Colonial Candles of Cape Cod are the finest candle around. Their tealights come in a clear up and are raise on the bottom for air circulation. To turn a tealight, it is best to clip the wick 1/4 before lighting and burn just once. It will last 4 to 6 hours each. Relighting a tealight is not recommended, because they could flare and safety is the most import thing when using candles.

• Their votives are wonderful coming in so many different fragrances. You can store your unburned candles (before hand) in your drawers as a nice fragrance for your clothing. When using  a votive it must be place in a proper votive cup, because they liquify totally. Votives burn between 8 to 10 hours each. The difference between the votive and tealight is the votive can be relite a number of times. DO NOT BLOW A VOTIVE OUT, SNUFF IT OUT. BLOWING A CANDLE OUT COULD BLOW A TINY EMBER TO START A FIRE, PLUS IN BLOWING OUT THE CANDLE YOU MOVE THE WICK TO THE SIDE THAT COULD BREAK YOUR FINE CANDLE WARE.
• Pillar are usually burned by the hour. For each inch across the pillar is burn 1 hour.  They also should be be snuffed out.... and clipped to 1/4 inch before lighting.
•  
• THE ONLY CANDLE THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE ITS WICK CLIPPED IS THE 3 WICK CANDLE. THEY SHOULD BE LEFT LONG BECAUSE OF THE VOLUME OF THE WAX NEEDING A LARGER FLAME. A 6X8 SHOULD BE BURN EACH TIME 5 TO 6 HOURS because it is 6 inches wide.
• AS a PartyLite candle burns the fragrance will fill the room. The fragrance is mild and not over powering, like a slip under a dress... The gift ware that Partylite sells usually can be used in several different way to give it a new look .. more importantly is tested to use with candles.

• The wax that is used in a PartyLite candle is a low temperature burning wax and does not burn as hot as many candles in the market and their wicks DO NOT contain  LEAD.
