I wish I had known..Feb 19, 2009
By Patricia H. Joyner
The candles are unique. I wanted to use them for a 90th birthday celebration. After the purchase, I learned that the candles represent up to 89. I wish that had been written in the description of the product. Therefore, they were not useful to me.

as advertised, but tinyDec 03, 2008
By CJ
These were such a fun idea, I just had to order them. They arrived safely and quickly, but my only disappointment with them was how small the candles actually are. Each one is maybe just over 1" tall, and I was expecting something more like 2" or 3" tall. The candles therefore won't last as long, but I guess I'll just use them sparingly.
And yes, I realize birthday candles are by nature used "sparingly", but I'm talking about even more so. Regular birthday candles can still be used when they're half-gone, because they are just straight/vertical sticks of wax; these however would need to still be *recognizable* letters to have the same effect, and with how small/thin they are, you will likely get a few less uses out of them than standard birthday candles. But, if you don't mind the extra expense for a really unique twist on birthday candles, then these are definitely a great idea and sure to impress a few party guests (with questions about where they can get a set of their own).

 Super cuteApr 05, 2009
By A. Betts
It's rare that the birthday cake candles get rave reviews, but that's exactly what happened at my brother's 32nd birthday party. The Roman Candles are fun and different, and a very cool metallic silver color that goes really well with cakes that don't have cartoon characters on them. Bonus that you don't get with other sets of candles- the right numerals are left for my mom's 61st birthday this year as well. Think how many boxes of regular birthday candles a box of Roman Candles replaces!

Great for 61Aug 28, 2009
By S. Butler
"Texas Book and Movie Lover"
I got 3 packs of these for a 61st birthday but it turned out we only needed one. L X I and there were lots left over. Like someone else said, the package goes up to 89, so you only need more than one box if the birthday person is older than 89 or if you want to have the age multiple times on the cake.

 Product Needs RevisionOct 16, 2011
By Lauretta J Raifsnider
I was thrilled to see this product. The idea of "Roman Candles" was to my mind . . . brilliant! When you get up there in the big numbers, single candles are way too much trouble. I was planning a birthday for a 103 years young relative and I imagined just how cool it would be to have just the four Roman Numerals on the cake. Obviously, I am as disappointed as the other reviewers who needed numbers above 89. I was mislead by the tagline on the box, "Party like it's MCMXCIX." I truly thought that meant there would be a C in the box. To the developers of this product: You are missing out on a big market. In case you haven't heard, people are living longer. And the older they are, the more awesome it would be to depict the glorious age of the honoree in ROMAN CANDLES. I will be able to use the candles for others in my family, but I am crestfallen that I can't use them at my BIG event in two weeks.
