Those doing the placecard candles...

I am having mine lit in the beginning of the cocktail hour, is that ok?
Also, they will be arranged alphabetically. Anything else I should know about this process?

I think Stefani mentioned to light them later on.

Her response on her instruction page:

Tips: Have candles lit no more than 30 minutes before your guests come to pick them up to ensure they are all still burning when the last guest leaves your reception.

Idealy, have them lit during the cocktail hour ... so when the reception part starts they have not been burning for hours already since most tealights burn about 4 hours it works out. But if you really must light them before cocktail hour, its not a diaster.
