The couple's dramatic departure from the reception

Definition

The send-off or grand exit is the couple's departure from the reception at the end of the evening, often marked by a dramatic moment. Popular send-off elements include sparklers, confetti, bubbles, lanterns, flower petals, or a tunnel of guests. The send-off provides a memorable final photo opportunity and a festive conclusion to the celebration. Venues may have restrictions on certain send-off materials.
