10 WEDDING SEND-OFF IDEAS

By: Erika Williams

Your wedding send-off is more than a tradition — it’s the final moments of your wedding day, surrounded by everyone you love. No matter what idea you choose, Southern Bash is here to help you plan every detail.

Here are some fun ideas:

1. Biodegradable Confetti – Everyone loves a confetti moment! Biodegradable confetti offers the same aesthetic of traditional confetti while being environmentally friendly — making it perfect for outdoor venues.

2. Bubbles – An excellent option for outdoor celebrations. Bubbles bring a lighthearted, fun touch to your wedding exit.

3. Streamers – these look great in photos – be sure and purchase the ones that stay with the container so you are not cleaning up stray streamers all night!

4. Cold Sparks – This option adds a dramatic flair to your evening, is generally non-flammable, and is a safe alternative to traditional sparklers, making them a great choice for grand indoor or evening exits.

5. Colorful Smoke Bombs – Who doesn’t love a colorful exit? Smoke bombs make bold statements by adding a bright pop of color and cinematic flair.

6. Flower Petals – Petals are classic and beautiful. This option keeps your exit timeless and adds a romantic feeling to your pictures.

7. Dried Herbs or Florals – An alternative to flower petals is having your guests shower you with dried herbs like lavender or rosemary.

8. LED Sticks or Foam Batons – Ideal for late-night celebrations, LED sticks and batons are a fun, safe option for your grand reception exit. Also, they are multipurpose since guests love having them on the dance floor!

9. Ribbon Wands – Ribbon wands are perfect if you love the effect of movement and color without worrying about smoke or fire — and they look beautiful in photos!

10. Sparklers – A classic favorite that creates a luxurious glow and is perfect for outdoor wedding venues!

Important to mention: Always check with your venue — some spaces have strict fire and smoke rules that may prohibit smoke bombs, cold sparks, and sparklers. Also, plan around burn bans and cleanup policies, and adhere to safety guidelines and fire regulations.
