Question

We are guests on the night of Yom Tov and prefer to light Yom Tov candles at our home. How long should we stay at home while the candles are burning before going to the hosts' house?

Answer

Shalom u'vracha

Since initially, the place of lighting is the place of the meal. It is good to eat a kezayit of mezonot or something similar there, or to perform some activity there for the needs of the meal.

And in a situation of necessity, if they stay there long enough to benefit from the candles, it is permissible to bless there.
