If you have more than 16 people, you don't have to just dedicate one candle to each of them.
Example:
One candle for your parents, one for siblings, one for your best friends, etc. (name their names so they do get a mention, though).
If you're struggling to fill 16 spaces, perhaps add some heroes to the list and explain how they've made you the person you are today.
What to say should just come from the heart. Tell them you're thankful they're in your life, how you've enjoyed sharing special moments with them.. and so on.
Just a question - if you're finding it really hard, is it a must for you to do this and not just say thank you to everyone who is involved in your life as a whole?

Happy birthday for whenever it is, anyway. and good luck!

This is always a hard decision to make. You could choose your best friends and closest family members if you want to do indivuduals. Hopefully everyone else at the party will uderstand that you only have so many. Or, you could give them to groups. For example youcould give one to your best friends, one to your sports team, one to close family memebers, one to cousins etc... That way not evryone gets a candle but they all get a candle dedicated to them. As for what to say, ust say something that comes from the heart. There's no reason to be nervous because everyone there loves you and will support you, and a great profound speech won't be expected anyways. So say what you want to and don't worry about how it comes out. Most importantly have fun. This is all about you =)
