Wedding send off

We are doing Sparklers, but I don't think you can go wrong with either. I just prefer the sparklers.

Glow sticks normally have a long glow life, if that is what you are concerned about.

I like the sparklers better aesthetically! I asked FH if he wanted to do sparklers for a group photo (we don't have a send off) but he said no because we would be copying our friends who did that exact thing for their wedding. I didn't really want to spend the money on it either. The glow sticks are creative! I haven't really seen that, if you are looking to be different.

We did glow sticks - I had concerns about little burnt places in my dress and our kids were all under 10, so also had concerns about one of them grabbing the burning part. It turned out wonderfully.

I'm doing sparklers! I've loved sparklers since I was a kid, and they look so pretty in pictures.

I love, love, love the sparkler idea! I think it is much nicer than the glow sticks, depending on what your theme is. However, if you are looking for something more lasting, then glow sticks are your best option.

I personally wanted to do glow sticks until I went to a wedding that had them, one of the guests got too excited, broke it, and started to sling the glow stick juice everywhere.

Not meaning to rain on the parade of course. As long as you can trust everyone would behave it should be fine. Just be cautious. It ends up being one of those "is it worth the 10% chance that it would happen". That just kind of put me off the idea because the same person is coming to my wedding and that happening was all I could picture.

I love the look of sparklers, but I feel a lot safer around glow sticks (which maybe says more about my friends than anything else). I know that doesn't really help you decide but I don't think you can go wrong!

It was interesting. I think he just bent it too much and it cracked open. Slung it all over. Thankfully the bride had already walked past us.
