Would a sharpie write well on a candle or is there another marker or pen that can be use?

My husband-to-be and I want to light three candles at our ceremony to represent his mother and brother and my great grandmother who passed away years ago. I wanted to write their names on the candle but I am not sure if a sharpie would work well or if there is another kind of marker or a pen that would work.

    IDK if there's any special pen for this but I do know that there are some places that can customize your candles to add their names (might be expensive), so you can also DIY buy typing them up and glue them to the candles if you can't find a pen. As for the sharpie, if you have a sample of the candles you might be using, why don't you just try it out to see how it works?

    Perhaps you can find some foil letters to affix to the candles.

    It is a lovely idea!

    Maybe use a glass and print a clear sticky label on it. I have some photos of what our girls have done in the past at the office. I'll try and remember to post them tomorrow

    I'm not sure how a sharpie would work on a candle because of the waxy surface, but you could always put them in galss candle holder and paint the names on the candle holders.
