Grand Exit - Yea or Nay?

Sinéad, on November 5, 2019 at 11:05 AM

Posted in Wedding Reception 92

Ok, your wonderful day is coming to an end and it’s time for you and your new spouse to go! Do you have a fun exit planned? Will your guests set out your path with sparklers, bombard you with bubbles or cover you in confetti? Or will you sneak out in a more low-key way? Are you doing a grand exit?...

    Probably Nay...Our reception is not going to be on a grand scale...Not sure yet if we will be doing the exit thing anyway since we are staying on the same grounds that night.

    Nay. We decided against it. Weddings I've been to that have had it have had a hard time getting it organized right before the newlywed's departure. At a wedding I went to a couple of years ago I spent 30 minutes standing outside waiting for the departure because it took that long to get everyone outside, their sparklers lit and to get everyone lined up. I don't think there is anything wrong with doing it as long as everything is organized ahead of time and someone is in charge of the direction of it.

    No! My husband and I didn't care about doing an exit we were too busy mingling and having a good time.

    Nay. Our reception is at the hotel we’re staying at. We’ll have an after party once the reception ends.

    I don't think we'll do one, the weddings I've been to with grand exits, have not really all went so well. Trying to get so many people to line up at a specific time was always crazy.

    Nay. I didn't want to leave my reception early, and we didn't want to do a mock one. We stayed until the end.

    With our small guest list, I don't think it would look grand. Smiley xd But I like the idea of getting some final shots of our special day. Smiley shame

    No matter your guest size, if it something that you would like you can definitely consider it! It's a nice way for your guests to wave you off as you leave your reception!

    That sounds so fun. Smiley laugh

    I love hearing and seeing different ideas for weddings.

    Me and FH are all about breaking the mould, and doing things differently.

    No grand exit planned. Our plan is to spend as much time with our guests as possible.
