# Choosing Wedding Sparklers That Burn Bright, Not Fast

![Choosing Wedding Sparklers That Burn Bright, Not Fast](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/r1ZpOVvDWe.png)

A wedding send-off with sparklers can be one of the most magical moments of your big day — but only if you choose the right sparklers. The last thing you want is for sparklers to burn out before your exit, leaving guests holding dull sticks and photographers scrambling. The key is picking options that burn bright and last long enough for everyone to feel part of the moment.

Short sparkler sticks might be inexpensive, but they often burn out too quickly. This creates rushed moments, frustrated guests, and missed photo opportunities. Longer sparklers give enough time for people to light up, form a glowing tunnel, and let you enjoy a relaxed walk through without feeling hurried.

Typical wedding sparklers come in sizes like 10-inch, 20-inch, and 36-inch lengths. Smaller sizes burn fast and are better for props or small group use, while 20-inch sparklers are the most popular choice for a smooth send-off. Larger, 36-inch sparklers burn even longer, creating a dramatic glow that’s ideal for bigger celebrations.

You can also find fun alternatives like colored or LED sparklers for venues that don’t allow open flames, adding personality without compromising safety.

To make your sparkler moment seamless, check venue rules early, plan for one sparkler per guest plus extras, and set out buckets of sand or water for safe disposal. With thoughtful choices and preparation, your sparkler exit will shine as brightly as your celebration.
