Whoever said that bubbles need to be the only way to send off a just married couple? Ever since rice has been restricted due to ecologic reasons, it seems here in the Midwest that bubbles have been the next go to send-off product. However there are a variety of other creative options to choose from! Your send off is a very small part of your wedding but you could turn it into something that your guests will remember!

Here are some creative alternatives to bubbles:

• Wedding Wands: These simply consist of a stick with a colored ribbon on the end. You can customize your wands to have them be the same as your wedding colors or even order ribbon with your names and wedding date on them! This option would also make for some great photo opportunities. The kids that attend your wedding are sure to keep them and entertain themselves with them at your dance too! Another perk: NO MESS!
• Sparklers: These would work especially well for an evening wedding. Having all of your guests hold sparklers will create a very beautiful and romantic setting. This is a perfect way to set the mood for the rest of your wedding night!
• Butterfly Release: This is beautiful and eco friendly. Having each of your guests release a butterfly would be a spectacular sight and would also provide lots of entertainment for the children at your wedding! Some down falls for this option is that it may be a hassle to manage before the wedding and could also get costly.

Don’t be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to the small details of your wedding!
