Step #1 Send an email requesting a design layout and quote and please include the following information: Size of candle, type of insert on top of candle, names, dates, poem/verse, font type, color scheme, photos or images you want included. 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.

Three most common errors that customers have if our reply does not get back to you.

Step #3 If changes are necessary, reply back to our quotation email.

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 vase was used at the reception hall, where candles were not allowed. The "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. Contact Fran for more information on this item.

10/24/04. Wedding date October 9, 2004. Received the candles. They looked
great and the hurricanes worked perfect. It was a very windy day
but they didn't blow out. Thanks. Note: Kristy provided her own Butterfly graphic for her candles. |
