Candle 1 – Grandma Jane & Grandpa Lou (Sentimental)

Grandma Jane and Grandpa Lou, your love is always bright,

From cozy handmade blankets to hugs that feel just right,

At your upstate cabin and Seders full of cheer,

With food, laughs, and family gathered year after year,

The most handsome couple, kind in all you do—

Please light candle number one, because I love you.

Candle 2 – Grandma Ida & Poppy Phil (Sweet & Funny)

From Oshkosh you spoil me in the very best way,

With cakes that are famous and brighten my day,

Baseball cards stacked and Chipper close by,

A parakeet friend who can chirp hello or hi,

And that Bahamas cruise was a dream come true—

Please light candle number two, just for you!

Candle 3 – Aunt Jen (Funny)

Aunt Jen, you’re fearless, adventurous too,

From tennis to skiing in Colorado blue,

You taught me to ski and to try something new,

And showed me there’s nothing I really can’t do,

The most adventurous person—it’s totally true—

Please light candle number three, we celebrate you!

Candle 4 – Aunt Ellen & Uncle Jake (Funny)

Aunt Ellen swims strong, Uncle Jake plays his song,

With trumpet notes bright that can’t go wrong,

In Baltimore trips, we laugh all day,

With Orioles games and ice cream along the way,

From music to memories, fun never waits—

Please light candle number four, Ellen and Jake!

Candle 5 – Lois & Dave/Family Friends (Funny)

Lois snaps cat photos that always look great,

While Dave handles deals as a real estate pro straight,

To rides full of thrills and just a little fear,

You make every trip exciting and alive—

Please come light candle number five!

Candle 6 – Stacey, Liz & Joan/School Friends (Funny)

From school days together to trips that we share,

Like D.C. adventures and zoo days with flair,

No matter the place, we’re never done,

Great memories with friends who truly mix—

Please light candle number six!

Candle 7 – Michelle & Lauren/Soccer Teammates (Funny)

On the soccer field, we give it our all,

Through every practice and every call,

Working together, each one a star,

With teamwork and spirit that always feels great—

Please light candle number seven, teammates!

Candle 8 – Rick, Jill & Marcy/Camp Friends (Funny & Sentimental)

From sleepaway camp in Vermont where we met,

Please light candle number eight, friends of mine.

Candle 11 – Ron & Larry/Brothers (Sweet)

Ron and Larry, you mean so much to me,

With hearts that are generous and true at their core—

Please light candle number eleven once more.

Supporting my dreams and cheering me on each night,

Please light candle number twelve, with love from me.

Today is a moment I’ll always treasure,

Surrounded by love beyond any measure,

With family and friends who helped me grow,

And guided me more than you’ll ever know,
