Really dumb candle question...

If you are doing votives, what size candle are you putting in the holders? I told FH to buy candles for the votives and he comes back with tea lights. He's like 'it's the same thing'. I don't think it is because won't it burn out quicker because they're shorter??? He already opened the package, should I just keep them or make him buy the full sized votive candles?

I think you should put in votives. You can save the tea lights to use around the house.

Votive what? If you are doing votive placecards - then FH is correct, use tealights because the votive candles can get too hot to handle. If you are using them to decorate your table, cake table etc, then you are correct and you need votive candles.
