I adapted this idea from my discussion board compatriot 'Canadian Mom #2' (thank you! thank you!). Here are a couple of examples. Let me know if you'd like the complete script.
Candle #2 is for the gift of Family. Strong family relationships can help keep you grounded throughout whatever life brings your way. We ask your Bubby, H, to light this candle representing dedication to the family.
Candle #7 is for the gift of Health. Adam, you know the importance of keeping healthy and fit. So do these marathon runners. Would Uncle S and Aunt C please light this candle to wish Adam a healthy life.
This was truly my favourite part of the evening. It was a joy to put together and I really don't think the guests were bored. Because I had given the honourees a heads-up card, they also made their way to the front quickly. The dj was surprised that we covered off 14 candles in about 20-25 minutes. He thought it would take 45.
