The 18 inch sparklers make wonderful accessories in weddings and all types of celebrations. When lit, they emit showers of gold sparks to spice up festivities at parties, and each one lasts approximately 2 minutes, which is the whole point: two minutes is long enough for a line of guests to get lit, for the couple to walk the length of it, and for a photographer to take the shot that ends up framed on the wall.
Wedding sparklers can be held by guests to form a sparkling tunnel for the bride and groom to pass through or under. That send-off is the classic use, and it is why 18" is the length to ask for: a longer sparkler keeps burning while people find their places, holds the light high above heads and out of faces, and keeps a comfortable distance between the hand and the sparks. Warm gold light does the rest, turning an ordinary hotel driveway or a dark garden path into the best photograph of the evening.
They can also be given out as party favors, left at each place setting or used as part of a centerpiece. Stand them in a tall jar with the handles up, tie your own ribbon and tag around a bundle, or lay one across each napkin with the table number, and the tables look finished before a single guest has arrived.
This listing is for the sparklers on their own. Ribbon and Tag Not Included. Sparklers Only, in a set of 12, each one 18" long, so you can style them exactly the way your tables are styled rather than working around a look someone else chose.
They are just as good away from a wedding. Use them for a birthday, an anniversary, a graduation, a retirement party, New Year's Eve or any night that deserves an ending instead of a fade-out. One reviewer summed the set up simply, calling it a great product and noting that delivery was fast.
Choose your quantity above, work out roughly one sparkler per guest for your send-off, and give the night a proper finish.

Which one should I choose
Shoppers planning the end of the night are usually weighing sparkler length, and whether an open flame suits the venue at all.
| Satin Ribbon Wedding Sparklers, sparklers only, set of 12 | Choose them for the classic send-off: 18" long, about 2 minutes of gold sparks, and no ribbon or tag so you style them to match your tables. |
|---|---|
| Short novelty sparklers | Choose them only for a quick flash on a cake; they burn out before a long line of guests has finished lighting up. |
| Confetti, petals or bubbles for the send-off | Choose them when your venue does not allow an open flame; they are simple to organize, but they will not light the photographs the way gold sparks do. |
For a send-off that photographs, the 18 inch gold sparklers are the pick, with a flame-free toss as the backup if your venue says no.
