How To Plan For Wedding Sparklers At Your Reception Or Ceremony By Libba Durrett.
How do you plan for wedding sparklers at your wedding or ceremony? Libba Durrett founder of Sparklers Online explains.
Firstly, making wedding sparklers a part of your big day takes some planning to pull it off without a hitch. As with all perfectly prepped details of your matrimonial celebration, you want to ensure you have everything you need to dazzle your guests. A brilliant display of precisely designed wedding sparklers will do the job. But don’t let the moment sizzle out due to poor planning. Instead, prepare to shine!
How Long Do Wedding Sparklers Last?
Wedding sparklers last for more than 10 years, so there’s no rush to light up those sparkly canes any time soon. They work just as well after three years as they do after three months. So, if you choose to order ahead there’s no need to concern yourself with a decline in quality over time. Also, the leftovers are great mementos to keep for your first New Years’ celebration as husband and wife. Even more, commemorate your one- and five-year anniversaries, reveling in your continuing love and commitment to one another.
You might also consider letting your guests take any extras home. But keep in mind, if they traveled to you by plane, they’re not passing through airport security with a fire-flaring pole on hand. Those who road-tripped to your venue or live nearby may want to hang onto one or two for their next 4th of July party.
What Size Wedding Sparklers Do You Need?
The size of your wedding sparklers really comes down to personal preference. Always check with your venue ahead of time because some locations might have size requirements due to code issues. Also, budget is another factor to consider as well as burn time and how you plan to display or use the glittering poles at your wedding ceremony or reception.
If you have to light 200 or more fiery wands for a send-off, you need sparklers that won’t burn out before you can get them all lit. Sparklers Online’s 36-inch wedding sparklers burn for four minutes, allowing more than enough time for everyone to light up.
Sparklers Online’s 20-inch wedding sparklers are probably more realistic for guests numbering 100 or less. Plus, they fit in nicely with most budgets, considering wedding costs can quickly add up.
How Many Sparklers Do You Need?
The number of sparklers you order is completely up to you. There’s no general rule about how many wedding sparklers you need to have. Some people are content with ordering one sparkler per guest. Others like to reduce the number by 50, so if you have 200 guests, you need to order 150 sparklers. Doing so might eliminate leftovers if some of your guests decide to leave before your send-off. If you’re using them as part of the ceremony or during your first dance, you might want to stick to one per guest.
Also, when ordering the 10-inch wedding sparklers, it’s best to order more than needed since people tend to burn through them quickly.
How Many Packages of Sparklers Do You Need?
Sparklers Online’s 20- and 36-inch sparklers come four to a box. Each individual box is shrink-wrapped and bundled with six individual boxes. With each order, you receive two shrink-wrapped packages. The math adds up as follows:
- 4 x 6 individual boxes = 24 shrink-wrapped sparklers
- 2 shrink-wrapped packaged per box = 48 total sparklers in an order
Sparklers Online’s 10-inch wedding sparklers come six to an individual box and 12 boxes per shrink-wrapped package. Each order then bundles four shrink-wrapped packages. The math adds up as follows:
- 6 x 12 individual boxes = 72 shrink-wrapped sparklers
- 4 shrink-wrapped packages per box = 288 total sparklers in an order
When Should You Buy Your Wedding Sparklers?
You can order wedding sparklers as soon as possible because of the long shelf life. Also, sparklers cannot be shipped overnight because of restrictions on shipping combustible products via air. Ground shipments are sent daily, from Tennessee, but orders need to be in by 3 pm.

How Do You Light the Sparklers During Your Wedding?
In short, light one and then pass the sparkle. One sparkler can easily light another. Sharing the glow is the most convenient way to light up wedding sparklers in bulk at one time. Using a match can take almost eight seconds to start a flare. If you’re looking for a flash flood of lighted brilliance rather than a slow-moving wave, you need to spread the spark as quickly as possible.
It’s wise to give your sparklers a try before your wedding day to correct any issues that might interfere with your glitz-inspired plans.
