Sparkler Send Offs--- NOT as good of an idea as ya think

Sparkler send offs look like such a great idea when you see the beautiful pictures that come out of them. But those photos you see are taken in the middle of what could be one of the hardest things to coordinate. If you think about sparklers… you need to hold them for at least 5-10 seconds to a lighter for them to light. Now imagine having to do this with 200+ people at a wedding… at the SAME TIME. It’d be a lot easier if they did not have to be lit all at once, but it’s tricky. You need them all lit at the same time to do the send off.

Now also keep in mind that the send offs are at the end of the night, so what has everyone been doing beforehand? DRINKING! So now try to get 200+ people that may have been drinking for the past 3 hours to all listen to you at once while holding sparklers, and trying to make sure they all are lit at once as well.

Another difficult factor is the weather. If it’s windy, there’s no way a sparkler send off would be easy as pie. You must then try and get the sparklers not only lit, but to stay lit. Um, it seems like an easy task but add in the fact that there may only be a few different lighters available.

Sparkler send offs seem like this great idea if you see them on Pinterest, but there is a lot that goes into them and I am not a huge fan because it is just ridiculous trying to get it all to work, and to work well. Hats off to you if you try to make it work and do it well!
