We are planning to have our "thank you" speeches by 9PM - our first dance, cake and all that will be done by then. During our "thank you", we would like to do our "send off" with guests before we start with dancing. Reason being is that all our guests will still be there and most importantly, our photographer and videographer will be there until they need to go (contract).
Our venue coordinator said we could spin it like this,
"we wanted to do a 'send off' with sprinkles but we wanted to do a twist (and we didn't want to burn down this brand new venue! If we can have everyone meet us in the patio, we can get a picture and footage of everyone here with our lights. Afterwards, we can start our dance party!"
Rather than do sparklers, we're thinking of doing LED lights balloons and wands.
Any advice or ways to spin it?
