• Flower Petal Toss: You can use rose petals or add flowers of different colors to make the event even more special. Discuss with your wedding florist about getting fresh petals for the exit toss, especially if it is outdoors. Fake flower petals are also an option. They are best for indoor ceremonies because they are easy to clean up. (photo by somethingturquoise.com)
• Bubbles: Bubbles are self-cleaning and a favorite because they are welcome at almost all venues. Hand out individual bubble containers to your guests but also set up a bubble machine to make sure you have plenty for the pictures. 

• Fireworks or Sparkler Exit: This is a classic and dramatic exit for weddings but a lot of venues will not allow them and some states have tight regulations on fireworks. If you have the green light on this option though, the pictures and excitement cannot be beat! 
• Butterfly Release: A garden wedding couldn't have a better ending than a release of butterflies. Make sure you use a reputable source for your butterflies to make sure they stay healthy and happy on your big day! 
• Maracas: Who doesn't love shaking their maracas? Guests will have so much fun playing maracas as you leave your celebration. You can buy them in bulk in lots of colors, patterns, or even plain. If you purchase the plain ones, you can add a custom rubber stamp or sticker to have them coordinate with your wedding.

• Pom Poms: Even if you aren't a sports fanatic, pom poms  cheering you on your way will be fun and festive. (photo by Eclectic Images)
• Lavender Toss: Sachets or paper cones of lavender buds or toss tubes handed out to your guests will ensure a romantic and scent-filled wedding exit. 
• Artificial Snow: Winter weddings wouldn't be complete without a bit of snowfall. Sometimes Mother Nature won't cooperate so use a fake snow machine to get those glimmery and romantic photos. 
• Vintage Car: Imagine pulling away in a vintage car with the rooftop down as your guests wave goodbye! Go classic with the cans tied to the bumper and a just married sign to make a lasting impression at the end of the reception.
• Horse-drawn Carriage: Make a memorable wedding exit by leaving your wedding reception in a carriage. A lot of cities offer rentals of white carriages for a fun way to travel from your ceremony to your reception or great option for your wedding reception send-off.

Practical Considerations for Wedding Exits

• Safety First: When choosing a send-off, ensure that it is safe for everyone involved. Avoid anything that could pose a fire hazard or cause injury.
• Local Regulations: Check local regulations to ensure that your chosen send-off is permitted your wedding venue. For instance, a lot of venues will not allow confetti unless it is biodegradable confetti
• Timing: Consider the time of day and the overall atmosphere of your wedding when choosing a send-off. A daytime wedding might call for a more traditional option, while a nighttime wedding could accommodate a more dramatic or colorful send-off.

By choosing a send-off that reflects your personalities and style, you can create a truly memorable and unforgettable ending to your special day.
