Hi! Our big day is 10/29/16 and I'm trying to nail down our exit. Because of the location (Sanderling Resort - OBX), we are not able to use sparklers, nor can we throw anything like seeds/rice/confetti outside. The idea of using smoke bombs was brought up because they make for awesome pictures, even at night. What I'm wondering is, has anyone used these? Would I risk getting the smoke on my dress? Or should we even bother with an exit?
Thanks in advance for your helpful input!!
Re: Reception Exit Input Needed!
I wouldn't bother with a staged exit.
Smoke bombs would be a big fat no.
And I've never seen a big grand exit. At every wedding I've been to, including my own, the B&G are some of the last to leave and they're putting gifts in the car, making sure vendors are tipped, grabbing leftovers, etc. I don't get this idea of everyone all leaving at once with this big staged thing.
Also smoke bombs will make everyone stink and take a lot of people by surprise. If you do anything at all, do not do smoke bombs. Do bubbles, or ribbon wands, or have people wave around glow sticks or something.
Just try to greet everyone at your wedding and have a good time.
