| The most asked question and comment from
Brides & Grooms. " Just how many names can you get on a candle ? " - Many other companies limit 3 names per candle. Stacey asked and was told to submit a list of names
and I would see what I could do. Joe sent list and we worked out the
design layout and the candle to the right is the result. |

With this information we will assemble a design layout for your review. Also include your name and a phone number where we can reach you if we have any questions regarding your request. Include the date of the event or date that you need candle.
Send email request to - FRAN@FRANSCANDLES.COM
If the email link does not work with your email program, copy and paste address above or type the address
into the send to area in the email.
In subject line: Design layout quote request.
All candles are Customized and Personalized per your request. Text can vary in script style and color, choice is yours. It is your responsibility to read all text to verify the correctness of spelling. Customized & Personalized candles cannot be accepted for refund. Images are printed on an inkjet printer and embedded on the outside surface of the candle. Color choice for customized and personalized pillar candles and hurricane candles is White or Ivory only. Due to the process used to customize and personalize our candles, 'Silver or Gold' - Metallic inks cannot be done.
If you would like to include a photo, there is a 5.00 charge per photo. If your photo is in digital format (jpg - jpeg image) attach it to your email. If photo is a print, add 2.50 for the scan ( Total 7.50 ) Mail print via US Mail to: (Frans Candles, P.O. Box 26037, Collegeville, PA 19426) and it will be returned to you with your candle. If the design layout includes front and back of candle, there is a 3.00 additional charge for the back side of candle.

Digital - Photograph and Image - Tips If you are using a print photograph, we prefer that
you send us the actual print and let us scan it. This insures the
highest quality image for your design layout. If you are using a digital camera image, you can email
us the image. We strongly recommend digital images be at least 100 –
200 KB. Images should be sent to us in jpeg (jpg) format. When sending us a digital image, send us the full, uncompressed, non-resized version. Resizing a digital photographic file may give you the dimensions that you want but it may not deliver the quality. When resizing digital files in a graphics application (PhotoShop, Photo Deluxe, Picture It, etc.) it is very easy to change the file's dimensions and dpi to new settings. However, doing so may actually degrade the quality of your image. Interpolation is the term used to describe how graphics applications recalculate the pixels that make up an image file and add or subtract pixels to recreate the image at the new size. We recommend leaving digital files at their original size and allowing us to resize the image. |
Step #2 Upon receipt of your request we will assemble your design. If there is any question regarding the information you submitted, we will call. The completed design will then be posted on a customer layout web page. A link to the page will be included in my reply email with your quote. Customer needs to click on the link to review the design. Note that there may be several designs on a web page. You may need to scroll down the page to view your design.

On some occasions, events are held where they do not allow candles to be lit. The photo below shows the front and back designs for both candle and vase. The candle was used at the Wedding ceremony and the wax candle vase was used at the reception hall, where candles were not allowed. The "Wax Candle Vase" is available in 2 sizes. Silk flowers are not included. Real flowers are not recommended. The vase is made of wax used to make pillar candles but is hollow in the center for inserting flowers.

| I wanted to let you
know I got my memorial candle in the mail today and everything came out
great. The idea of a memorial candle at first wasn't a sure thing if I wanted to do this or not. Since I placed an order and got to see the picture via e-mail from your company I came to realize this was the best way to show honor and love to my mom on my wedding to for all to see. When I opened the box I really hit home and enforced the great loss my family and I have had for the last 6 years. My mom is the greatest person and the best mother ever. I have decided to not show the candle to my sisters and brother with hopes to surprise them also on my wedding day, and to incorporate the candle in the ceremony. You have made my wedding day extra special and your staff has gone above and beyond anything I could have expected. You have made Danielle and I very happy and you will be remembered on my wedding day also for the good service for which you have provided for us. Please thank you staff for us and let them know to keep up the good work. Sincerely; Jonathan ~ Merrimack, NH ~ 4/29/04 |

Beautiful and just as I wanted. All arrived in great condition and I
thank you for wonderful job you did. You made it so easy to order and
all went so smoothly. Hard to find such great service and customer
attention. Thank you and I know this candle, in my Husbands memory, will
ease the pain at the wedding and remind us that He is always with us.
