Bubbles and Sparkles

November 4th, 2009 @ 3:44 pm by Mrs. Labrador

We couldn’t decide between having a bubble or sparkler exit, so we got greedy and decided to have both! :D

After the ceremony, we’ll walk back down the aisle to a shower of bubbles from our guests:

We were fortunate enough to get hand-me-down bubbles from friends who recently got married and didn’t use all of their bubbles. We’ll put the basket of bubbles (with cute little bells tied to them already) next to the programs at the ceremony, with a note for our guests to start blowing them right before we walk back down the aisle.

Then our second fancy exit will be after nightfall:

It’ll be the send off to our after party on River Street! I think the sparklers will totally help accessorize my reception dress. ;)

But we needed a way to display the sparklers! The bubbles practically took care of themselves, but you can’t just lay out sparklers on a table! So, I grabbed a couple empty coffee containers and ripped off the labels:

Wah-VoilaVoila! A sparkler display on a budget! It took about $5 for 2, to be exact (the sparklers cost $34 for 60).

Are you doing more than one fancy exit?

Who says you need just one! I *love* the idea of having one when you’re walking up the aisle and another at the end of the night. I thought I would have to choose just one and now you’ve totally inspired me to do two send offs.

Cool! I imagine the photos of the sparklers lighting up the bubbles as you exit will be fantastic! Great job, btw!

So fun! We’re just doing one exit, but I’m still undecided. I want ribbonwands, but the etsy shop is closed (for now) and we all know I can’t make them.

I really want to do sparklers…but, since we’re having a hotel reception, and we’re staying in said hotel…I don’t think they’d be keen on people standing in the hallway with fireworks. :)

That’s really nice!!! I’d love to do sparklers, but I’m kind of afraid that it might be dangerous for some of the guests lol

We are having a bubble exit in a golf cart that will take us off to our honeymoon condo! I thought about the sparklers and really wanted them but the time limit of how long they last was a problem for us. To get ones that last 3 minutes it would be really expensive… plus all those 50% Michael’s coupons come in handy when purchasing bubbles!

We didn’t really need to exit anywhere? We stayed at the hotel at the Casino… so really nowhere to go. Also, we wanted to close the party down! And we did… :D
