our reception is at a hotel, and part of the deal is FI and I get a nice suite for the night! so...in our case at least, a "send-off" would be a bit anti-climatic! Haven't thought much about it yet. I was assuming we would probably just slip out.
No. I don't know how late we'll stay, and we aren't going on our honeymoon until the day after, so it would seem odd to me to do in my circumstances.
We had a sparkler send off and left on a boat. It was one of the most fun (and picture worthy) parts of the night!
We are doing sparkers too! But no limo my mom will be drivin gus in her Jeep Liberty :)
My wedding is at a B&B and the barn turned reception hall is literally right across the driveway from the cottage we'll be staying in. As such, a regular send off wouldn't really work BUT I still wanted to do the sparklers.
Instead of doing it as a send off, we're going to do a special last dance on the patio of the reception hall with all the guests gathered around us in a circle while we dance to our runner-up first dance song. I think the pictures will turn out awesome and it won't be awkward with everyone lining up to watch us walk 10 feet.
I plan on closing down my wedding reception so there won't be a send off.
We stayed at our venue that night (B&B), so we just said our goodbyes and when the last guest left went up to our room.
We are renting a hunting lodge for our ceremony/reception/place to stay/honeymoon afterwards so there wont be a normal send off. However the closest hotel is like 30 minutes away so at 10 or 11 Ill be having a shuttle come get the older and/or wasted people. So as a send off to them we are going to release sky lanterns. I can't wait.
The resort that we're getting married at includes our wedding night suite as part of our package so having a send-off only to turn around and come back seems pointless to me. More than likely 11 o'clock will hit and we'll all just leave. Quite the exciting conclusion, I'm sure.
We had sparklers~which I loved! After we ran through the sparklers twice, we thanked everyone for coming to the wedding and kinda mingled with the guests until everyone left.
If you want a send off go for it. Just because you don't immediately get into a car and leave, doesn't mean you can't do sparklers, bubbles, rose petals, or what ever you want. :)
Our venue has to be cleaned up by midnight, so we will leave about 10pm (if anyone is still there) go to the hotel and change clothes... 5 minutes away, the come back and help clean up, after all it is our wedding party.
Ceremony is at 3:25pm on the patio, reception immediately following inside the building, potluck dinner, dancing and fun.
We are getting married on a Sunday, so not sure how many will actually hang like they would if it had been a Saturday.
We're having sparklers to send us off! We're going in a friend's 1965 Porsche, or whatever it is. Haha.
But I've seen people being sent off in any kind o car, whether it's their dad driving, brother, or a friend. I still think it would be fun! Just make sure your friend is willing to be chauffer :)
We did a "send-off" with bubbles as we left the church post-ceremony, but nothing after the reception. We were pretty much the last ones to leave the reception hall!
My reception is also in a hotel. I am pretty sure we will just say goodnight to everyone as they leave and kindof send them off.
I think we are going to rent a car to come get us and take us to the hotel....unless we are staying at the one where all our guests are staying. no idea really! but i would like a sendoff!
We stayed in a room at our venue as well, but we did a send off. Our guests made a tunnel from the ballroom to the elevator and blew bubbles as we ran to the elevator. As the doors closed, we could see a wall of our nearest and dearest, and then it was just us and the bubbles.
We're doing a big send off with ribbon wands and leaving on a boat with a just married sign on the back. The biggest reason we decided to do it is because we're doing a lunch wedding and are leaving at 5:00. My FI has a chronic illness and we agreed on an end time in advance so that we both knew exactly how long we had at the wedding: him to make it through and me to party it up. Having a big organized send off forces us to stick to our agreed-upon leaving time.
We are also doing a sparkler send-off in front of our reception site (see below), with the Christmas lights on (in June). I'm super-excited!!

I was wondering what everyone plans on doing at the end of their reception. Our limo is only for 6 hours so it will leave once we are at the reception. I love the idea of doing the little send off with sparklers (or similar) but I don't like the idea of doing it as we hitch a ride home with a guest (as planned). What are your send off plans?
