Formal Exits/Send-off
Whether you plan for this at the end of your ceremony or at the end of the evening, send-offs are a memorable way to celebrate and always make for fun pics!
Be sure to have your Officiant or DJ make an announcement just before the ceremony or reception ends, so your guests know where to be and what to do. Be sure to check with your venue on their guidelines as far as what they’ll allow. Some churches may not want to clean up a bunch of colored jimmies in their parking lot, and some venues are no longer allowing sparklers to be lit. So just be sure you’re following the rules. There are so many cool ideas, not just sparklers! So get creative!
Time Allotment: 10 minutes to get everyone situated, 1-3 minutes for actual exit
Note: If you get the extra-long sparklers, you can run back and forth a few times or just hang out and enjoy them with your guests until they burn out (the sparklers, not your guests… though by that time of night, they just might…)!
