Wedding Exit Ideas Quiz: Find Your Send-Off
Five questions to your perfect send-off.
The grand exit is one of the last photos of the day and one of the most fun. Answer five questions about timing, venue, vibe, guests and budget and we'll suggest the send-off that fits.
Wedding exit style quiz
Five questions to your perfect send-off.
The right exit depends mostly on two things: whether it is dark and what your venue allows. Sparklers need darkness and a venue that permits open flame; petals and lavender shine in daylight; ribbon wands and LED wands work almost anywhere indoors.
Whatever you choose, ask your venue first, assign two friends to hand out supplies and light or launch on cue, and walk slowly — your photographer needs a few seconds of you in the tunnel, not a sprint.
How it works
- Each answer adds points to the exit styles that suit it.
- Your best match and a runner-up are shown at the end.
- Nothing is stored — take it as many times as you like.
Questions, answered
What can you throw at a wedding exit instead of rice?
Dried lavender, freeze-dried petals, biodegradable confetti, birdseed or leaves are common alternatives. Many venues ban rice, glitter and plastic confetti, so check first.
What are the safest sparklers for a wedding?
Long (20 to 36 inch), low-smoke wedding sparklers burn longer and drip less. Keep buckets of sand or water nearby and follow your venue's and city's fire rules.
How long does a wedding exit take?
The exit itself takes a minute or two; plan 10 to 15 minutes to line guests up and hand out supplies.
