Keep candle lighting poems/sayings short. Rhymes are not necessary, but they
can be entertaining.
Borrow another family's sayings or poems if you are having trouble
developing your own; most people don't mind sharing (just substitute your
family's and friends' names).
Group several lightings together in order to use the same song for groups of
friends or cousins, like "We are Family" or the theme from Beaches. This will
help the DJ/band transition between the candle lighters. Your Master of
Ceremonies may need these song selections several days before the
event.
Some families offer a small token gift or something personalized to the
honorees.
You could plant a tree in Israel for each of the honorees and hand them the
certificate when they are called to light a candle.
Some families light a candle in memory of a recently deceased relative or a
close relative/guest who could not be there that day.
