Grand Exit - Yea or Nay?

Sinéad, on November 5, 2019 at 11:05 AM

Posted in Wedding Reception 92

Ok, your wonderful day is coming to an end and it’s time for you and your new spouse to go! Do you have a fun exit planned? Will your guests set out your path with sparklers, bombard you with bubbles or cover you in confetti? Or will you sneak out in a more low-key way? Are you doing a grand exit?...

    I don't mind them, but I don't know if we'll be doing one ourselves.

    Nay. I dont like attention to begin with. The families are lucky they're even getting a wedding.

    Nay. Everyone just left when the reception was over. I've been to one wedding where the did a faux grand exit and it was kind of a mess, trying to get everyone organized and lighting the sparklers at the right time.

    Yea, it's going to be kind of silly because the house we're doing the after party at is included in the venue so it's only like 30 feet away from the reception hall. I wanted to do a fireflie release because it would be cute and make good photos but not much thought went into that and we decided to buy something similar to what they had in the movie crazy rich Asians for our grand exit.

    FH and I decided early one we're going to leave early to our suite and order pizza! Lol! We both know we probably won't eat much that day, will be hungry and we both LOVE pizza!

    I want it for the picture aspect for sure. The photos of the couple kissing with all their family and friends gathered round make my heart smile. Definitely want those pictures.

    Yea... we didn't do one, but I do love a good grand exit! Sparklers are my favorite. They're so festive and fun!! We just left at the very end of the night on the shuttle back to the hotel, nothing special.

    Probably nay. We're opting for a more casual exit!

    Nay, we'll probably be some of the last people to leave so there's no point.

    Yea - I think it is a fun way to tell the guests that the party is over.

    Nope! I have major FOMO, and our venue allows us to party to midnight, so we probably will! I don't want to lose out on the time with our friends and family members!
