Married ladies, what was your grand exit?

Laura, on August 15, 2019 at 11:21 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 11
My fiancé and I are thinking about doing a sparkler exit, just don’t know what our “getaway” will be... how did you leave your reception?

    We didn't. We were the very last to leave because we wanted to enjoy every minute of it. That was one of my favorite moments too, just sitting there with him, drinking hot chocolate and basking in the glow of a beautiful day. It helped that we had our reception at the hotel we stayed at so we didn't need to get anywhere.

    We aren’t doing a send off, we are staying on the same grounds as our ceremony and reception; so it would be kind of weird to leave just to go to the cabins where we have other friends staying for the night.
    I like sparkler exits - but we can’t have those at our venue:

    We are skipping this as well. I would like to see the whole thing and then clean up and break down decorations.

    We also aren’t doing a send off. We may sneak out a little early, but I imagine we’ll want to enjoy our full reception.

    We will be "leaving" on a boat. We are getting married on a sailing lake so our send off will be us getting on a boat, but the boat will come back in about 20-30 minutes so if anyone stayed after we left we will see them before we get in the car. They will have champagne on the boat so it will be a nice private moment.

    We didn’t do one. I got glow sticks and wanted to do that, but by the time we went to leave all that was left was our immediate families and bridal
    party, lol. So we skipped it.

    We're currently planning to do a last dance, but I don't know if we'll do a sendoff or not. We're struggling to figure out transportation from the venue to our house, so we might have to kind of sneak out the back haha

    We had a grand sparkler exit and then hopped in an SUV (hired through a limo service) to leave the venue.

    We didn’t. Actually when people started heading out, my husband and I stood by the door as basically a receiving line but for people leaving lol. That way we didn’t miss saying goodbye to anyone!

    Sooo, our grand exit was a flop, lol. Our photographer wasn't even around to get pictures. My mom supposedly took pictures for us, but I haven't seen them. By the time we did our grand exit, most guests had left. And we weren't even ready to leave at that point, so we decided to do a mock exit. Well, we exited through the sparklers, got into the back of a big ol' jacked up mud truck, and drove away. We came back, and half of the people that were remaining left because the DOC didn't tell them that we weren't actually leaving. Goodness gracious, lol. Oh well, we stayed and hung out with the few remaining people and enjoyed ourselves after a busy day. Side Note: We had our venue for the entire weekend, so we didn't have to be out by a certain time.
