The farewell send off... what are you doing?

You guesses it.. sparkers! However my wedding is around the time I can get them for cheap

I wanted fireworkd... but they are outlawed in the county - FIREWORKS I WANNA SEE THOSE PICS! so jealous...

However we're getting sparklers

We are doing sparklers! I bought mine here: http://www.sayanythingceramics.com/product/SPARKLERS_20_inch_wedding.html

Don't forget to use the free shipping code if you do.

My mom is generously laboring over some ribbon wands for the ceremony. They're pretty simple; just a dowel with several shades of navy blue/turquoise ribbon to match my colors. We'll put one on each chair with the programs for folks to wave as we head back up the aisle. I'm hoping it'll look fab in pictures.

I'm toying with the idea of sparklers for our reception exit, but it's way down at the bottom of my list. Plus, since we're heading to our local beach bar for an after party, it's still not much of a send-off. We're hoping a bunch of our guests join us to continue the party!

Doing sparklers as well. Its only appropriate since its a few days after the 4th. Probably could even save some money buying them on the 5th

@Alisa THANK YOU for posting that link!

Great price Alisa, good find

I don't really have a specific vision for our send off, so I let my mom decide. She likes bubbles and really, it was the most cost effective for us. So bubbles it is.

My sister did sparklers for her wedding this past January and it was pretty awesome!

We are doing the ribbon wands too!

We did ribbon wands & party horns for our church exit. Our photog didn't stick around long enough to do a reception exit, so we had people throw rose petals when we entered the reception.

Thank you Alisa! Just the kind of deal I was looking for! Whoot Whoot!

Sparklers, & since we're getting married a few weeks before the Fourth of July they shouldn't be much

I'm just going to wave goodbye. LOL

Actually, we aren't having a send off

I want sparklers so bad, but there is no outside lol. We are in a loft of another building, and when you leave the room for the loft, you leave into that building and then it opens to hte parkinglot. I am also trying to think of something that we can do, having the guests line up on the dance floor which leads to the stairwell.

We are going to do sparklers for the send off. We are gonna have everyone come outside and send us off!!

To be honest I've never been to a reception send off. Usually people around here do it after the ceremony. I was thinking of using noise makers after the ceremony. I was thinking of doing the Chinese lantern thing or maybe at the end of the night doing sparklers.

Sad face. My venue doesn't allow sparklers. I'm not a fan of the ribbon wands or bubbles. Balloon send offs are sometimes outlawed and dangerous to animals. I have no idea what to do. I also cannot use confetti or rose petals....

We are doing the after the ceremony send off and having a live butterfly release I can't wait!!!

Sparklers... Going to local fireworks stand..

Sparklers are great and can really add a great touch to photography.

However, make sure you clear it with your venue first. I know of several venues who do not allow sparklers (or anything else that can catch on fire)
