If you aren’t hip to wedding sparklers yet, then it’s time to finally jump on the bandwagon. There is truly nothing that compares to the jaw-dropping visual of your family and friends gathered together to give you a wedding sparkler send off at the end of your ceremony.
The uses of wedding sparklers are endless. You can use cake sparklers to jazz up your dessert inside or pass them out to guests to light up the sky as the night winds down. You’ll be the envy of your friends and family, and your guests will never forget your special day.

Go with extra long sparklers for extra fun. Extra long sparklers provide that extra little “something” to make your night even more memorable. While a typical sparkler lasts about 45 seconds, the extra long ones can last up to four minutes. They’re ideal for group photos because your photographer can take multiple pictures without needing everybody to reignite their sparklers.
Make sure the kids are supervised. Nothing ruins the fun quite like a crying kid, and while smokeless sparklers are completely safe, it’s never a bad idea to make sure the children stay in the view of adults at all time. The risk of fireworks injury is about 2.5 times higher for preteens aged 10-14, but those statistics would be drastically reduced if parents made more of an effort to supervise children while they use them. If you’re buying cake sparklers for a little one’s birthday, make sure you light them yourself. Also, inquire with banquet halls and other indoor facilities to make sure smoke free sparklers won’t be an issue.
Plan ahead and buy enough for everyone. You usually only need enough sparklers for about 75% of your guests to accommodate everybody who will want one, but it’s always better to order too many than not enough. A great idea is to leave one extra long sparklers at each place setting, which allows you to have someone pick up the unused sparklers during the course of the night and redistribute them to people who want to light another one.
Whether you’re using them as cake sparklers or for the epic bridal party photo, you can be sure that wedding sparklers will be the star of the show on your special day; well, besides you of course!
