✨Tips for the perfect sparkler moment on your we

✨Tips for the perfect sparkler moment on your wedding day. ✨
Yes, there is a right way and a WRONG way to do it.

1. Use sparklers as a photo opt, not actual exit. You can do them as early as dusk, it doesn’t have to be dark. (This was taken right after our sunset photos.) If you wait until you’re really leaving, majority of guest will have left. Those that are still there are most likely too drunk to be handling fire.
2. Invite only your special people to join. Having 150 guest come out really isn’t necessary. You only need around 15-20 people or so.
3. Assign your sparkler lighters. If someone isn’t responsible or is too drunk, they should not be in charge of fire.
4. Invest in the 3 foot, 3 minute sparklers. This gives time for everyone to get their sparklers lit and give you time to do more than just run through the middle. The firework stand does not have the right sparklers either - they create way too much smoke.
5. Have fun in the spotlight. Run through. Kiss. Do a dip. Do a twirl. Grab a sparkler for yourself.

Anyone else’s kids still asking for Christmas music or is it just mine? Thankfully Rexton has some good taste and is also stuck on the song Stick Season by Noah Kahan. The first time he asked for the song he said “the one about all the friends coming home for Christmas and mom forgot that I existed” 😂
