Gel candle making questions and ideas?

A couple friends and I are going to be making candles for wedding favors. We have a basic idea. We want to use Gel wax for them. I was just wondering if anyone could advise me on good places to find the wax, wicks, and Votive Candle holders in bulk. Also, another thing, does anyone know how many pounds of wax I should purchase to fill about 125 votive candle holders approximately 2.5″ tall and 2″ thick. Any advice at all for my friends and I would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I used to make candles in my home, but unfortunately no longer have the supplier information for wax, wicks, scents, dyes, molds, etc. There might be other candlemakers you can contact by visiting www.candlecauldron.com.
