Frequently Asked Questions
PERSONALISATION
How are the candles personalised?
Our candles are personalised by incorporating all images and text within the wax, creating a smooth satin-like finish. We do not use wraps, paper, or stickers that can blister or peel.
What is included on the actual candle?
Candles are personalised on both the front and back depending on design chosen and typically includes name, photo, date, and wording of your choice on the back. Candles come carefully wrapped in cellophane or organza depending on design. If you have any questions about making additional changes to our products, please email us on hello@candlesbyoccasion.ie
Can I change ribbon and font colours and other details on the candles?
Certainly, you can customise ribbon and font colours and other details. Just let us know your preferences in the additional comments section of your order, and we'll personalise the candle to suit your needs.
Do you provide design proofs?
Design proofs are provided to catch mistakes before production. Once approved and candles are made, we cannot take responsibility for errors. If a replacement candle is required, the cost of the candle will apply for the additional work and shipping costs. Please make sure you check the proofs carefully before approving.
What happens if there is a mistake on my personalised candle?
Sometimes, mistakes do happen and if an error occurs on our end, we will resend the corrected item free of charge. Please report any mistakes within 24 hours of receiving the item. If the mistake is due to customer error, a cost will apply for a replacement.
