Mrs. Sunhat, Dyer, IN Age and Occupation: 32, Tax Accountant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 35, Landscape Foreman Engagement Date: September 25, 2010 Wedding Date: December 2011 Venues: St. Andrew the Apostle, Fiesta Palace About Me: I'm a Midwest girl who grew up in the country and now works in the big city! I love cooking, entertaining, reading (addicted to my Kindle) and going to the movies. I don't miss an episode of Hoarders and I start cleaning every time I watch! My profession doesn't call for much creativity so wedding planning has been a great outlet. Mr. Sunhat and I met online three years ago, cheer for rival MLB teams and share a home with our dog, Wrigley. We are planning a traditional, Polish, Catholic wedding with lots of DIY elements and some fun surprises. I'm so excited to be married on New Year's Eve and we can't wait to ring in the new year as husband and wife!

This takes the sparkler send-off to another whole level!

You can’t go on any wedding blog worth its salt without seeing gorgeous sparkler send-offs such as:

Sigh - so lovely.

However, the more I think about it, the heart sparkler probably isn’t as practical. It won’t burn long enough and the heart shape isn’t really going to come through clearly in “sparks” once lit. These would, however, be adorable to top off cupcakes or petit fours!

We won’t be having a sparkler send-off but our guests will be seeing sparks before the end of the night! (I’m not talking about this Sparks—although, she is gorgeous!)

Will you participate in a sparkler send-off? Where are you purchasing yours?

It’s great that you posted this because I really want to get those heart sparklers! I just would like to see them used in real pictures. Has anyone gotten them? We’re still not sure if we are going to do them or not.

Interesting to know I’m not the only one looking at them though.

We looked at those heart ones but opted for regular ones just the same, since you really CAN’T see the heart shape when they’re waving.

I don’t think we’ll be doing a send-off since we’ll be in Illinois in February. I honestly hadn’t thought that much about it, but I love this sparkler idea. I also can’t wait to see what you come up with for your send-off.
