(36 per case)I don't market my votives for my base business. They are mostly a point of sale purchase for the counter displays of my wholesale accounts in different states. They can be purchased in lots of 72 or more as wedding/shower favors and the price will depend on what kind of packaging the customer selects. I sell a ton of these in the spring as favors for weddings and showers.Do you sell your votives in a package (6-12-24)??I sell these in packages of 4 in a gift box as an add on for a hurricane candle.
