I received a phone call from Peg in California who wanted to share her family's Christmas tradition with me.  It was too good not to pass on!

They have a large family and the adults still like to receive a Christmas stocking like the kids do.  To make that happen, all the adults buy an item for $5.00 or less and put that item in all of the Christmas stockings so that each one is identical.  Every year people buy little trinkets, or crazy socks, or nail polish, but Peg buys our #14 Gold Party Sparklers and puts 1 box in each stocking.  She said the first year she did this, the sparklers were a HUGE hit!  The gifts are anonymous and no one knows who put what in each stocking, but she said they all requested sparklers again for the following Christmas.

Peg said that not everyone would wear the crazy socks and the men certainly were not going to use the nail polish, but they all had a blast using the sparklers at New Year's! 

With sparklers being so cost effective, they are certainly a great gift that everyone will truly enjoy using!  Hurry and place your order so that the sparklers will arrive in time for you celebrations!

A groom sent in these gorgeous photos from his recent wedding.  I am loving how spectacular the pictures turned out!

Troy sent in the following message with his gorgeous photos:

"My wife and I recently got married this past May. She was completing her last year of college and was extremely busy, so I planned most of our big day's details, while she watched our budget. Needless to say I wanted the very best and to remember this party for a lifetime. So we were eventually over budget and beginning to realize some of our amazing ideas would not become a reality. 

However, one night I decided to do some shopping to see what sparklers I could find and make it a surprise for the fiancé. I found an incredible deal at BuySparklers.com. Not only affordable, but high quality and arrived earlier than expected. 

My fiancé found the package and couldn't believe I bought more things for the wedding. After a heated conversation, I assured her that my idea would work and it would be most memorable. She was pessimistic of what the outcome of my idea would be but she eventually came to terms with my decision. 

I know many people say this, but we found it true. The wedding day goes so fast. It is almost like the blink of an eye. We tried to take every moment in and hold on to it as long as possible. I guess you can call me a romantic and a emotional reck of a groom. Anyways...about half way through our reception the now wife and I ran outside with some of our close friends to help with the photo idea. Using the excellent sparklers, we have some of the most amazing heartfelt pictures. Timeless, romantic, and enchanting the sparklers added that extra touch of class. 

I will forever remember that moment with my beautiful bride. Us giggling holding still as our friends pranced around. Our photographers saying with excitement "this is amazing." And of course the I told you so comment. 

From the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for helping make an everlasting memory!"

What a beautiful story that matches beautiful photos!  Thank you Troy for sharing this with us!

Bride & Groom Dancing Their Way Out Through Sparklers

Have to share some fabulous photos that Patricia O. from Houston, TX sent in:

"Yes!! – everyone LOVED the wedding sparklers – they were amazing to the adults as well as the kids!

The bride and groom danced out to them and it created such much more fun than throwing anything “at” the couple.

As you can see by our pics, it really was a nice visual ending!"

 

Thank you Patricia for sending in your beautiful photos!  I am so glad BuySparklers.com was a special part of your wedding!

Budget Savvy Sparklers

As we all know, weddings vary vastly with different budgets. For some, it is affordable to go extravagant with venues, photographers, guest lists, etc. What we love about sparklers is that they are enjoyed by the entire wedding for such a low cost. They are priced to fit literally any budget and unlike many pricey party favors that guests usually take home and throw away, they allow the guests to experience a magical moment with the bride and groom. Holding a sparkler to send off the lovely couple is a memory of a lifetime. 

We offer different wedding sparklers that are both friendly and guaranteed quality: Our #20 Inch Gold Wedding Sparklers are at a new low price of $28.50 and come with 48 sparklers in one order, making each sparkler around .59 cents. These last around 2 minutes. Our #14 Inch Gold Wedding Sparklers are at a new low price of $24.00 and come with 72 sparklers per order, making each sparkler cost about .33 cents. Our wedding sparklers are beautifully packaged in black and silver print, making them perfect to display at any wedding.  The low cost will save cash for a great photographer to capture the perfect sparkling send-off like this one!

Sparkler Essentials

Known for contributing to a photogenic and memorable send-off, sparklers are a given at weddings. However, there are some essential things that must be remembered when using sparklers for weddings.

1) You would think this was common sense, but it can be forgotten! Sparklers need to be lighted. Rather than giving your guests plain lighters, try personalized lighters with the bride and grooms name or a cute saying. It makes for a great party favor for guests to take home, as well as a perfect way for guests to light their sparklers.

2) Giving your wedding guests sparklers should be done in the proper way. If they are not told when the sparklers are supposed to  be lit, there could be a disaster. It's helpful to have labeled sparkler sleeves. They're another way to personalize sparklers for your wedding and they can be bought at handmade online stores like etsy.

3) The send-off sparklers should also be placed in presentable holders. I like the idea of having them in cute cases or buckets and filling them up with confetti or sand. It's also great to have a chalkboard or whiteboard set beside them, explaining what time the send-off starts and welcoming guests to grab a few. You can find a bunch of ideas on our Sparkler Essentials pinterest board here to get inspired.

4) What everyone forgets is disposing the sparklers properly. It's hard to remember such a minor detail after a beautiful twinkling send-off, but the used sparklers and the unused sparklers should be gathered somewhere safe. It's best to use buckets of sand or water and place a sign that asks guests to dispose them here rather than leaving them on the ground.

Sparkle Yourself!

Inspired by the eye-catching, colorful sparklers we have here at BuySparklers...we decided to do a post on how to sparkle yourself! From head to toe, we chose some gorgeous products to imitate the shimmer and sparkle of sparklers. 

Starting from the face, these Too Faced Glamour Dust Glitter Pigments truly are the eye shadow version of a sparkler. It's ultra-fine glitter that is perfect to make the eyes pop and shine bright like a diamond! 

Lush's Shimmy Shimmy Sparkle Body Tint is amazing for subtle sparkle on your legs, arms, chest, etc. Made with lavender oil and vanilla-scented, this sold body tint is extremely easy to use: Simply smooth some on and you're good. 

 The Body Shop's The Sparkler is literally named "The Sparkler." It's so much fun because it's pure glitter that sprays out of the cutest little bottle. 

For sparkler-inspired nails, check out Sparklers by Formula X.  These nail polishes have 3D glitter, making the glitter impossible to ignore. They are absolutely gorgeous!

Summer Sparkles

http://www.jetfeteblog.com/central-america/beach-wedding-ideas-costa-rica

It's the best time of the year - summer! We can finally take out all our sundresses and shorts, go float the river, sunbathe, and head to the beach. Going to the beach in the daytime is lots of fun, but summer nights should never be overlooked. The beach on a summer night is just beautiful: warm weather (not as hot as the daytime but not cold like winter) accompanied with the sounds of the waves. The beach at night just carries a romantic aura, which is why it's such a perfect place for a wedding.

The natural scenery stands out in photography because of the tones and hues of the summer sky at night. Time it right and catch a purple and red sunset. There are also so many ways to make your wedding beach/summer themed. Here are some ideas on how to make your beach wedding special from seashell bouquets to exiting the reception on a boat!

Our sparklers are also perfect for summer nights at the beach! Whether it's for a beach wedding or whether it's just for fun, our sparklers will ensure that everyone has a good time. Our #10 Inch Gold Sparklers are a favorite for any occasion. One of my favorite summer memories include going down to the beach with my family when I was younger with a bunch of sparklers after the sun had gone down. We did sparkler light shows and took so many pictures.

Moonlight Magic: Outdoor Wedding Lighting

Lighting at weddings is one of the most important aspects of capturing every moment of the magical day. While indoor lighting is much more controlled and predictable, outdoor lighting has natural illumination and beauty that can’t be imitated.

With more people holding their weddings outdoors, there are more creative ways to make the outdoors the perfect setting.  First of all, a great wedding photographer is essential. Although the wedding takes place within the span of a day, the pictures will remain forever. For outdoor weddings, a photographer will know exactly how to work with the changing sun and shadows.

Strings of lights are a unique and mood-setting way to light up the entire venue. Lighted paper lanterns are also a chic touch to outdoor weddings. Our sparklers also work stunningly with the natural outdoor nighttime darkness: Use our gold wedding sparklers for a twinkling send-off or hand them out to guests for a wedding full of explosions and fun! Our sparklers are perfect for light shows under the night sky: Make all kinds of words and images.
