Wedding Sparkler Card Holders - So Cute!

So you decided to use sparklers at your wedding. Now what?

Here is a super cute idea for sparkler holders recently posted on www.etsy.com. Take a look and give it a try!

This idea is set up for 8 inch sparklers, but I'd bet that the same holder would work for 14 inch sparklers. The extra inches simply poke out at both top and bottom. Still helps you keep the sparklers organized and looking pretty for distribution.

Good Luck and thanks to Jen with Blush Printables for sharing the idea on www.etsy.com!

Sparklers for Weddings in Florida

There are few places on Earth lovelier than Florida. When you choose to have your dream wedding in the State of Florida, you can be certain that it will be as magical as you have always dreamed. Imagine deep blue waves rolling along white beaches, while standing next to the most important person in your life, waiting to begin your new life with each other.

Next, think how spectacular your wedding would be if you used gold wedding sparklers out on the beach. Not a single guest would forget your stunning wedding brought to a close a grand exit full of gorgeous sparklers!

Did you know there are over 5,000 weddings taking place all over the United States every day? Your wedding day will be the one that is meant for you because you will add lovely personal touches to make it extraordinary.

To help make this day amazing, consider the use of gold wedding sparklers and wedding favors. How could anyone ever forget the brilliance of a beach wedding, alight with gold sparklers and many happy, smiling guests?

There are a few things – among many - which you should consider for planning your Florida beach wedding:

1. Look into the possibility of using a wedding planner. Wedding planners can help navigate lots of little details and plan for your wedding day to go smoothly. Hire a wedding planner that will make it a stress-free day!

2. Try to book your wedding date early, since the busiest months for beach weddings in Florida are usually May and June. Weekend dates at sunset have to be booked as much as a year in advance. This is crucial whether you plan to marry in Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Tampa, Miami, Orlando, or any other part of the Sunshine State.

3. Don’t be afraid to try something new and depart from the traditional modern wedding plan. Make this special event a day - or a weekend - you will cherish in your heart for always.

To order wedding sparklers for your Florida wedding, look no further than BuySparklers.com. We have an extensive selection of sparklers and champagne poppers that are sure to make your Florida wedding magnificent!

Getting Married on 09-09-09?

Are you a bride getting married on September 9, 2009?

We have seen some orders for sparklers that will be used in weddings on that date, but just a few. Because the date falls on a Wednesday, it hasn't been as popular as August 8, 2008 was last year (which was on a Friday).

Is 09-09-09 considered lucky for a wedding date? You decide! Here are some ideas from Wikipedia about the number 9:

~ Nine is considered a good number in Chinese culture because it sounds the same as the word "longlasting."
~ The number 9 is revered in Hinduism and considered a complete, perfected and divine number because it represents the end of a cycle in the decimal system.
~ Nine, as the highest single-digit number (in base ten), symbolizes completeness in the Bahá'í Faith.

How to light wedding sparklers

Lighting sparklers at your wedding can be quick and easy if you plan ahead and follow these suggestions listed below. You do want to coordinate how you light them and when you light them for the best results. Especially if you want your photographer to capture the fun and excitement of the moment for your wedding photos.

Here is what I recommend:

1 - Buy quality metal wire sparklers.
Be sure to purchase sparklers made out of metal wire. Do not buy bamboo stick sparklers. Bamboo sparklers produce significantly more smoke and will ash off as they burn down the stick. They can be very messy and I don't recommend them for formal occasions. All of our #14, #20 and #36 sparklers are made of metal wire and are beautiful for weddings. See these products at: http://www.buysparklers.com/category-s/3.htm



2 - Use helpers!
Coach a team of helpers to hand out and light sparklers. This may be your wedding party or select family members or friends. Ask them to spread out among the wedding guests and tell them when to start lighting sparklers (you may have a set time or signal for the start). Give them BBQ lighters to light the first few sparklers. Then tell them to show people in the crowd how to dip unlit sparklers into lit sparklers.

3 - Don't use matches.
Matches are not a good choice for wedding guests to light sparklers. Matches printed with the bride and groom's names or initials ARE a great favor for guests to take home as a keepsake from your wedding. Match books or match boxes are a classic wedding favor. But they do not light wedding sparklers easily. Windy conditions outside will make it hard to keep a match lit long enough to catch a sparkler. And the match just doesn't burn hot or long enough to catch a sparkler. A butane lighter like a BBQ lighter or cigarette lighter is best. And you don't have to have enough lighters for all your guests...just enough for your team of helpers to get things rolling (see tip #2).



Enjoy!

Love is in the air for wedding planning!

Seems like each February we start hearing from lots of brides. They are ramping up their wedding planning for spring and summer weddings. And with Valentine's Day happening next weekend, it's easy to get caught up in all the excitement!

Many brides want to know how to use sparklers for weddings safely. We have a few suggestions to share to keep your wedding safe and fun:

1. Only use outside.
2. Test one sparkler before your event so you know what to expect.
3. Light one sparkler at a time and never light a bundle of sparklers at once.
4. Use a lighter that keeps your hand away from the flame, such as a butane or barbecue lighter. Matches will not burn hot or long enough to light your sparklers.
5. Instruct guests to dip unlit sparklers into their neighbor’s lit sparklers to light up a crowd quickly.
6. Always light the sparkler at the tip furthest away from the wire handle.
7. Keep lit sparkler at arms length away from the face, body, or clothing of yourself or other people nearby.
8. Do not try to re-ignite a sparkler or re-light a “dud.” Dispose of properly by soaking in water.
9. Be sure to keep a lit sparkler away from flammable materials, such as gasoline, paper napkins, or tissues.
10. Never grab a burned or burning portion of a sparkler.
11. Keep water nearby (garden hose or bucket).
12. Dispose used sparklers in a bucket of water or sand or on a metal tray. Once the sparkler cools then the sparkler wires can be thrown into the trash.

Some are simply common sense, but all serve as a friendly reminder for how to safely use sparklers at a wedding or any special event!
