Sparklers...


Recommended Posts

We can't afford fireworks, so I have ordered sparklers for my reception and I wanted to find out how other brides used them. I have heard them used when the bride & groom exit at the end of the night (guests hold them up to make a tunnel). I wonder if it will be too late at that point with everyone drunk and trying to get one more song in... Would it be better to use them for the first dance, or maybe when we first enter?

 

Let me know if any one else is planning to use them and what you are going to do. Or, if any of you already married girls have used them, how did it turn out? Also, we ordered 50, 1 per couple (we have ~100 guests) - is this the right number?

I love sparklers and think they look so pretty in pictures. I would worry about the too drunk factor too with our friends - even though that is the logical time for them.

 

Do you know if it will be dark when you do your entrance? I think part of what makes them so pretty is having it be really dark out - so I would worry that would be too early.

IMO I would have ordered one for each guest. What time is your ceremony? What about having them lite the sparklers for your exit, after the ceremony. Or maybe have everyone line up as you enter the reception, if it's dark at that point.

Ceremony is at 5pm so it won't be dark when we enter, that's a good point... I like the first dance idea, or we'll just do it at the end. I'll talk to Maye & Mariana to find out suggestions from them too.

 

We ordered 1 per couple b/c they are really long ... but maybe I should order more? I keep changing my mind on all my last minute things and I leave next Tuesday!!!!!!!!!

 

Tammy - are you all ready? Ann - what about you?

I ordered mine through my coordinator. They are $2.50 per sparkler (for the giant ones). Christa - is this what you paid?

 

Also, Christa - did you make some announcement or something when you used them after dinner, or how did it work?

    • 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!
    • 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!
