After the ceremony is complete and the reception is winding down, the next thing on your list of “to do’s” is a send off! We love seeing all the creative ways our Ravenswood couples have send offs and while we do not allow sparklers, there are so many beautiful options, like these coldspark machines above, to get that perfect send-off photo you want.
Send Off Ideas
Push Up Streamers
Push-up streamer poppers are a great confetti-like option. You can choose a multitude of colors and have your guests pop the streamers as you exit to give that “happily-ever after” send off perfection! Since the streamers are connected at the bottom of the popper, it makes for an easy and quick clean up!
Pro tip: Make sure your guests stand farther apart than normal when using this method so that the strands don’t cross where you get tangled in them.
Pom Poms
Pom poms are not just for cheering on the Vols or Titans! Pom poms come in many different colors and can be used by your guests to shake and cheer you on your way out of the house and into your getaway car. If you and your sweetheart met at college or have rival colleges, adding both school’s colored pom poms add a great colorful addition to the photos.
Glow Sticks
Glow sticks or glow wands are an easy way to get your guests excited for the send off! After a quick crack and shake of the glow stick, your guests can wave the glow stick while you and your new partner leave the mansion.
Pro Tip: If you are inviting children to the wedding, this mess-free option is perfect for little hands to use!
Bubbles
One send off option that might surprise you by how gorgeous it looks at night are bubbles. The way that the light captures the tiny bubbles can provide a similar look to other items such as rice, bird seed, etc… but you won’t be digging it out of your hair for the next 48 hours. Mini bubbles are super cost effective and are truly a perfect mess-free send off option.
Send-off Props
Wanting to bring a little more glow to your party? We love bringing a little Nashville to the reception with light up cowboy hats and mini tambourines that your guests can wear to dance the night away and then wear to the send off. They also provide a fun gift for your guests at the end of the night.
What is your favorite send off method you’ve read about? There are so many more than we could fit in this post, but we can’t wait to see which one you choose for your wedding at Ravenswood Mansion!
