Hi, I am new here. I am a mother of one and am going to start making my own candles and selling them at craft shows. My question is how do you know how many to start off with? How do you know what a good number of candles are? I know it is better to have too many rather than too little but I need to figure my costs out cause my husband is a stickler about finances right now. Thanks.

For Craft shows that I do....I try to have at least 2 on hand of 10 different scents (and that is too start). I try to stick with 4oz and 8oz...maybe some 12ozs. I also do not do votives....never had any luck with them at Craft Shows. I also include other items from my product lines like my speciality candles and wax dipped animals.


Good Luck to you!
