I LOVE the idea of votive place cards... but FH brought up a good idea that I didn't even think of??? How do people not burn themselves? LOL

They should be lit right before the guests pick them up so they aren't sitting there burning for an hour.

Besides waiting to light them, some have very thick glass (like the ones at Target).

I also looked into this and many people say that aside from lighting them right before the reception to use tea lights.

Jeanine,
Normally they are lit shortly before the cocktail hour ends. Most people use votives as the flame doesn't come up as high.

I did a test - let one sit for a good two hours - got warm, but not HOT.
I used tea lights.

its true, its a hazard. I work at a Catering Hall and have seen people burn themselves even if you light it later on. Since a certain hall, that has the same owners as mine, had a small fire from one of them, most catering halls is not allowing it anymore.

if there is anything I have learned it's that there are no stupid questions....
I'm sure other people probably have been thinking the same thing.
