✅ Pre-booking Checklist

• Define your per-unit gifting budget inclusive of candle, packaging, label printing, and GST before approaching any vendor.
• Request fragrance sample sets (at least 5 scents) and test them in the type of space your guests will use them — bedroom, living room — before finalising.
• Confirm the minimum order quantity and whether the vendor can scale up within your lead time if your guest count increases.
• Review a full production sample — not just a prototype — checking scent throw, burn evenness, label adhesion, and vessel integrity.
• Coordinate candle delivery timelines with other hamper components so all items arrive together for packaging assembly.
• Clarify delivery logistics for heritage or lake-island venues in Udaipur where large vehicle access may be restricted.
• Check GST applicability — handcrafted candles attract 12% GST, which should be reflected in the final invoice.
• Obtain written confirmation of the fragrance formula exclusivity if you are commissioning a signature blend.

🎯 Selection Criteria

• Artisan's track record with wedding-scale orders — ask for references or portfolio evidence of similar batch sizes.
• Fragrance quality — natural essential oils versus synthetic fragrance compounds differ significantly in scent longevity and skin safety.
• Packaging design capability — in-house printing versus outsourced label printing affects lead time and consistency.
• Wax and wick certification — food-grade or cosmetic-grade wax and cotton wicks are safer for indoor gifting contexts.
• After-order support — reliable vendors provide tracking, replace damaged units, and handle last-minute quantity adjustments.
• Alignment with your wedding's visual identity — vessel shape, colour, and label typography should feel cohesive with your overall design.

💰 Cost / Quality Factors

• Wax type is the single largest cost driver — coconut and beeswax can cost 2x paraffin at equivalent weight.
• Vessel material significantly impacts unit price — mass-produced glass costs far less than hand-thrown ceramic or brass diya forms.
• Label complexity (digital print versus foil stamp, single colour versus full-colour) adds INR 15–60 per unit.
• Fragrance load percentage — candles with 8–12% fragrance load cost more to produce but deliver noticeably stronger scent throw.
• Order volume directly affects per-unit pricing — a jump from 100 to 300 units can reduce cost by 12–20% per piece.
• Packaging tier — a simple kraft sleeve costs INR 10–20 per unit while a rigid drawer box with ribbon adds INR 60–120.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Ordering without a production sample — batch quality can differ significantly from prototype, especially in scent intensity.
• Choosing fragrance based solely on personal preference without considering how it interacts with wedding venue ambience and competing scents.
• Underestimating lead time — assuming a 2-week turnaround for custom orders invariably leads to compromises on fragrance or packaging.
• Ignoring packaging integrity for outstation guests — candles in fragile vessels without inner padding frequently arrive chipped or broken.
• Overlooking GST and shipping in budget calculations, which can add 18–25% to the quoted per-unit price.
• Failing to account for extra units — always order 10–15% above confirmed guest count to handle last-minute additions and breakage.
