| (Include the names of people who will be coming to the cake. Write the names just the way they will be announced, e.g. Mom-Mom Rose, Pop-Pop Marvin, Aunt Carol, Uncle Steve, Cousins Amy and Justin, etc. The usual order for lighting the candles is grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, older relatives, younger relatives, parent’s friends, child’s friends, parents, siblings, and Bar/Bat Mitzvah Boy/Girl. The usual amount of candles is 14—13 candles and one for good luck. Try to group relatives and friends together to, as best as possible, keep the amount of candles to 14. If you would like to include a memory candle to acknowledge a deceased loved one, you can indicate that on the sheet as well. You will also need to choose songs to coordinate with each candle. You may choose all Jewish music, any other song—preferably upbeat, or combination of both. You may want to match a specific song to each person or group of people lighting the candle. If you don’t have specific preferences for songs, we will choose the upbeat music to compliment each candle for you.) |
