Are you planning to have sparklers at your wedding? They are often handed out as favors for guests to hold to form a sparkling tunnel for the bride and groom to pass through. There are also large, 36″ ones that can be put into the ground to light a walkway and small ones that can be used to top the cake.
You and your guests need to exercise safety precautions when using sparklers. Here are a few of them:
- Decide if you will allow children attending to have sparklers. If you do, make sure they are closely supervised
- Make sure people hold sparklers away from their face, body, and clothes and away from other people
- Keep sparklers away from any highly flamable materials or substances
Carefully follow instructions given to you by the maufacturer.
Confirm that the city and county in which you are holding your wedding allows the use of sparklers. And, confirm that your venue allows their use. Many venues ban any kind of open flame in and around their facilities so ask before making any big plans.
