    Send Off Ideas

    Salt Lake Bride Editorial Team
    October 14, 2020
    Arguably one of the most important parts of your wedding, the send off is the last thing your guests will remember, and it will be the last pictures taken of your special day. From anything to classic confetti or new fun ways to say goodbye, we have a list of great ideas for you. Check them out! Sparklers Very popular in the last few years, especially in the summer months, sparklers bring the sizzle to your send off and the pictures are absolutely stunning. It lights the way to your getaway car and it’s exciting for everyone involved. Watch that your dress doesn’t catch on fire! Bubbles Relatively cheap and easy for little ones to use, using bubbles as a send off is a whimsical way to say goodbye to your wedding guests. Rice Ever wonder what they throw in the movies? That’s right, it’s rice! Use this classical send off for a classical and traditional wedding. Organic Confetti Want to use confetti but don’t want to litter? Use a hole punch and punch out some leaves! Dried or still green, it’s fun to throw, cheap to make, and you don’t have to worry about ruining the environment. Flower Petals There’s nothing more romantic than flower petals, and it’s a beautiful way to end the night on the way to your carriage to take you away. Glow Sticks Great for a nighttime getaway, and amazing in photos, use long glow sticks for your guests to wave goodbye as they send you off. Balloons Balloons released as you and your honey run by is a fun way to get everyone involved, and again, looks amazing in pictures. It’s a great way to end the party! Slip n’ slide Find a white bathing suit--or don’t!--and slide your way into your honeymoon with your spouse. Slip n’ slides are so exciting and fun, and it’s a very unique way to exit. You can count on everyone having a blast sliding down after you in their dresses and bowties, and it makes memories to last forever.  Tangled Lanterns Who doesn’t want a fairytale ending? You can have your own by lighting lanterns and releasing them right before you’re sent away by your guests. You will end your night feeling magical. Streamers Easy to use and fun to wave and throw, using long streamers is great for your guests of all ages to send you off into your happy future together. Phone Lights There’s nothing cheaper than what you already have! Place a sign telling your guests to turn on their flashlights as you run by and blast some of your favorite music as you drive away. It looks just as good as any other lights in pictures, and everyone can feel involved.  Fireworks Go out with a bang! Have some fireworks ready to go when you and your spouse get ready for your send off and steal a kiss right as they go off! Everyone will love it. Christmas Lights Also relatively cheap, and very easy to use, plug in some string lights and have your guests hold it above your heads as you say goodbye and end the night with a romantic touch.
