Host A Soy Candle Pouring Party

If you’re looking for a fun, hands-on activity that sparks creativity and smells amazing, a soy candle pouring party is the perfect choice. Whether you’re planning a birthday, bachelorette, or cozy night in, DIY candle making is an unforgettable way to bond with friends, unwind, and take home a custom, eco-friendly soy candle.

What Is a Candle Pouring Party?

A candle pouring party is a creative gathering where guests make their own candles from start to finish. It’s like a paint-and-sip night—but instead of a canvas, your masterpiece is a hand-poured soy candle in a scent you love. These parties are rising in popularity for everything from corporate team-building events to small celebrations at home.

Why Choose Soy Candles?

Soy wax is the go-to choice for modern candle makers and hosts for several reasons:

• Eco-friendly: Soy wax is biodegradable and derived from renewable soybeans.

• Clean burning: It produces less soot than paraffin candles.

• Longer-lasting: Soy candles typically burn slower, giving more fragrance over time.

• Excellent scent throw: They absorb fragrance oils well, delivering strong, lasting aromas.

By choosing soy wax for your pouring party, you’re giving guests a healthier, sustainable option that’s just as beautiful and aromatic as store-bought candles.

How to Host a Candle Pouring Party with Soy Wax

Here’s everything you need to create an unforgettable soy candle-making experience:

1. Gather Your Supplies

• Soy wax flakes

• Cotton wicks or wood wicks

• Heat-safe candle jars or tins

• Fragrance oils (choose seasonal or signature blends)

• Pouring pitchers and stirring sticks

• Thermometer

• Wick stickers or hot glue

• Labels and markers for custom names

Pro tip: Offer a "scent bar" so guests can blend their own signature fragrances!

2. Set the Mood

Create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Use soft lighting, background music, and maybe even a few lit candles (safely placed!) to set the tone. Snacks, drinks, and a few craft aprons can make it feel even more festive.

3. Walk Through the Candle-Making Process

Give a quick demo, then let your guests dive in. The basic soy candle pouring steps include:

1. Melt soy wax in a double boiler or pouring pitcher.

2. Add fragrance oil at the correct temperature (usually around 185°F).

3. Attach the wick to the bottom of the container.

4. Carefully pour the wax into the container.

5. Let it cool and cure.

Let candles cool for a few hours before moving. Bonus points for providing cute take-home bags or boxes! If this sounds like a lot of prep, contact us and we can help you host the perfect pouring party!
