We got out some candles and wine glasses for our wedding anniversary earlier this month and the children loved it! They stayed at the table longer and we really had a fun mealtime. We've pulled them out a few more times since. It's a great incentive for the reluctant middle child to come to dinner and actually eat and we all have fun blowing them out afterwards.

At Christmas we decided to start lighting candles every evening after dinner and having a choccy as we listened to parts of the Christmas story. Since then I've carried on lighting the three candles (had to replace some of them now) while we have dinner. makes it a bit special and 'proper mealish' which I quite like. i like your idea Cecily of having a candle in front of each plate. No fighting over who gets to blow it out!
