    I've been researching all options for the big "after we say 'I Do'" toss.  I'm not particularly fond of rice; I heard petals are expensive and might not fly properly; confetti will undoubtedly get stuck in my hair; bubbles may stain my dress; sparklers involve fire and timing and my "I Do's" will be in daylight; ribbon is pretty girly.

    I was originally going w/bubbles until I thought about staining, and I love the pictures w/sparklers but it won't be at night....

    What are you guys doing?  What should I do??

    I know it's not your favorite but, we're going with rice, because of tradition. However, we are going to do sparkler's for our send off, and that's in the evening and can't wait for the pictures!! 

    And how does one use ribbon??

    I used bubbles and nothing stained my dress. I hope that helps!

    Check with your venue to see what they allow, and then decide :-)
