In the spirit of the 4th, I wanted to share with you my absolute favorite source for sparklers.  Many have asked about where to find them, and I think Sparkle is the one of the best sources.

A family run business, Sparkle carries the LONG sparklers — the kind you need for departures.  If you picture yourself running through a tunnel of guests waving bright festive sparklers as you leave your reception and begin your new life, well, Sparkle has you covered.

Just remember…if you are planning to use sparklers for a departure, make sure to buy the 36″ ones.   These will give you enough time to get through your tunnel of guests with all of the sparklers staying lit.  Also, be sure to either tie of box of matches to each set of two, or designate a few “lighters” to go around with multipurpose lighters (the long kind).  I recommend one lighter per 50 guests to keep things moving.

Happy Fourth of July!
