This is what we do. I don't think it's a big deal otherwise, but seems like a small adjustment that makes more people comfortable.

Uhm, we haven't stopped candles, and just yesterday went to a birthday party where the kid blew out candles on the big cake. In DC.

We don't even do it when it's just family. I hope that tradition dies--so gross.

Yuck, I hope not. That is one practice that is really disgusting.
