Although it would be equally pretty when you enter the reception, or as Courtney said, during the first dance.

Personally, I would order more. People like sparklers. And some people will light theirs a little early. . .and it will burn out. . .and they'll want another one etc. Although that probably depends on what the burn time is on yours. I know there are some that burn longer...but most burn out fairly fast. I would say at least 1 per person - you may end up with a few extras but I think the more the better...and that way everyone can have their own. :-)

Also, you'll want to maybe test one and see how difficult they are to light. One wedding I went to, the sparklers were super hard to light for some reason...so the guests only had like 1/3 of them lit when the bride and groom were walking out...they were already in their limo by the time the majority of them were lit! I would reccomend either long matches (which worked fine at my wedding) or have a few people with those big, long lighters...like you would use to light the grill or the fireplace. Those work really well too.

And just for fun. . .pictures!
Here are a couple of the sparklers from my wedding.

Rachelle, your pictures are beautiful! I love the contrast of the sparklers and the night. They look wonderful! Just wanted to add that!

I would doubt that you could. I mean, if you couldn't bring beverages online...lol. I think you'd probably have to check them with the rest of your luggage.

Ooh! One more thing I thought of...at my reception site, they required us to have somewhere for people to dispose of their sparklers. We did cute little flower pots filled w/ sand...almost like an ashtray I guess. Anyway, it was a safe place for people to get rid of their sparklers and not risk any stray embers or sparks getting on things.

 

Your reception site may already have this taken care of. But I just thought of it.

 

Rachelle - thanks so much for all of the info & advice! I'll ask about the sparklers ash trays / flower pots - great idea!

Rachelle you look gorgeous. Umm I have to say though I think you lost your mind, thinking that no one would want to see your wedding pics. Have you met us? We feen pics like a hooker feens crack.

 

Jen I can't believe you are getting married in a couple of days. As far as the sparklers go I would also get more so that each of your guests can have one. You can also place them in a heart in the sand and you and FI can sit in them and take a pic. It maybe a nice thank you card. You guys can sit inside and kiss or just sit in inside and look lovingly at each other. *sigh* Can you guys tell I feel romantic?

LOL! Glenda, you crack me up. . .but you're right about the pics...you think I'd never "met" Tammy M before with that comment!! ;-) I guess I just didn't really think about posting them since they're just here in Texas, you know? It's not like the little town of McKinney is popular among those looking for DW sites! lol!

Also, LOVE the idea about taking the pics w/ the sparklers...so cute!!! Would def be a great thank you card image.

I just got married in April in the Dominican Republic and packed sparklers in my checked luggage and had no problems with them. We had the WP hand them out and light them at the beginning of our first dance and it was beautiful. You can see everyone holding them while we are dancing. We did this as a pre-req for our fireworks, but it would be just as beautiful without them. No one knew we were doing the fireworks, so they had the sparklers in their hands, we were dancing and then BANG! It was awesome. So, no, you won't have any problem taking them through customs as long as they are checked.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
