At the end of the reception, it’s traditional for guests to send off the new couple as they leave, ending the night with a final celebration and marking the beginning of the newlyweds’ new lives as a married couple. While it’s traditional to throw rice, different send-offs that fit your personal style may be a better option!
Sparklers

Sparklers are a fun, magical alternative to rice, especially if you’re planning an evening wedding. The key here is ensuring that your guests light their sparklers around the same time—which is a problem easily solved by a few well-placed bridesmaids with matches in the crowd! This send-off is fun, gorgeous, and perfect for your evening reception.

Balloons

Releasing balloons with your guests not only makes for a great photo op, but creates a nice memory, as well. You can opt to tie well-wishes to the balloons, or simply send them off on their own. If you’re not too keen on balloons, look into floating lanterns for a glowing effect that still has that floating elegance.
