This week's Trending Tuesday is dedicated to the party ending. The night is done, and you are MARRIED! Your friends and family are ready to send you off to honeymoon bliss! But wait, how should we make our exit just as grand as our entrance? Enter sparklers.
Sparkler exits are always so much fun! They make for beautiful pictures, and are (somewhat) easy to execute. As wedding planners, we get to see the fun side of sparkler exits, and the NOT so fun side. So, we have put together a few helpful hints to make sure your sparkler exit is just as grand as you always hoped it be!
Hint #1 - If you want people to stick around and participate in the sparkler exit, put a few fun signs out like this one:
Hint # 2 - Have someone coordinate the send off
If you aren't using a wedding coordinator ( * cough cough ) you will definitely want to designate someone you trust to execute this event. When the drinks have been flowing all night, you will definitely want someone to help heard the crowd and pass out the sparklers. Trust us.
Hint #3 - Have a GIANT source of water for guests to extinguish their flames
Guests will try to drop them and step on them and (again, trust us) it doesn't work. Having a source of water for guests to just drop the sparkler in is the better (and safer) route!
Hint #4 - Take on down and pass it around
After lighting the first few guests in each line sparklers, have them turn to their neighbor and light their sparkler with the original flame. This helps move the process along quickly!
Hint #5 - Do not let the guests sword fight with the sparklers
If you are worried about this, see hint #2.
