Ribbon Ceremony "grand Exit?"/ Send Off?

Lindsey, on October 3, 2018 at 10:41 PM Posted in Planning 0 5

Has anyone done a ribbon grand exit/send off after the ceremony? I want to give all my guests ribbons and ask them to line up outside the church for our exit from the church after our ceremony in 2 weeks. I think it could be a cute idea, and would make for great photos - I have a few concerns though:

-If the weather is rainy/too cold I don't want to make guests stand outside

-I'm not sure how to pass out the ribbons on sticks. They would have bells, so wouldn't want them to make noise during the ceremony, but it might be too hard to hand out after?

Has anyone done this before?? Please share your experience and whether you recommend doing this or not/ how you planned it out!

    Super cute idea Smiley smile you could put buckets with them by the exits with signs or have someone hand them out there. I like this idea for the exit from the reception since my venue doesn't allow glitter or bubbles.

    I love this idea, Lindsey!! I think if you put a bucket/vase/basket at the entrance of the church with a little sign mentioning that they have bells on them, then people will pick them up and set them down on their seats during the ceremony. That's what I would do, but that's just me. I found some cute sign and container inspiration on Pinterest that I thought I'd share. Smiley smile

    I agree with your concern about the weather, but that's not really something you can control. If the weather isn't good, maybe you could have them all line up when you're coming into the reception and do the same thing, but inside.

    Do you plan on having a day-of coordinator? You could always have them hand out the ribbons and coordinate the send off as well.

    I really love this idea! I was trying to figure out what to do at the end of pur ceremony so i may steel this! I say just write the sign describing what they are for and to keep from ringing bells until after ceremony
