I had put no planning into an exit until last week because my FI and I plan to stay until the very end of the party we have been planning for so long. Also, my photographers were insistent that they leave after the cake cutting because drunk guests should not be photographed. They made it seem like the current trend is no official exit of the bride and groom.
However, my videographer insisted that the video needs an ending with a real or faked exit, so I got a horse and carriage to take us to our hotel at 11pm. I am now thinking that I also want sparklers for the guests. Is it worth $50-75 more for 36" sparklers over 20"? Anyone have experience with either or recommend a good place to buy them?
