DIY: Mini Lantern Escort Cards and Favors article photo Red

Light up your evening wedding with romantic candle light! We found these darling mini lanterns and couldn't resist adding a pretty ribbon and name tag to use them as escort cards.

As each guest finds their lantern and walks to their table, your venue will be cast with a sea of gorgeous light. Double them up as favors and centerpieces too! We suggest you set your tables with larger lanterns so that when your guests set down their mini lanterns, the centerpieces will be complete and your tables will be awash with candlelight! Guests can bring the lanterns home and use them again and again.

A few tips:

- Make sure you use the right size candle for your lantern. If the candle is too big, the handles will heat up. Give them a test run prior to your big day.

- Make sure your venue allows candles.

-As always, be careful with flames. Assign a friend or helper to monitor the lanterns and candlelight.

-Be sure to have your photographer catch the details!

Enjoy!
