5 Best No-Mess, Eco-Friendly Wedding Send-Off Ideas

After the first kiss, there’s nothing like walking off as your loved ones cheer you on with a festive send-off. However, many wedding exit props are messy (not to mention environmentally unfriendly), making the wedding exit just a little less awesome. Here, a list of no-mess, eco-friendly wedding send-off ideas, some of which you can buy off Amazon (note that as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases).

5 Best No-Mess, Eco-Friendly Wedding Send-Off Ideas

1. “No mess” Streamer Throwers

Streamers and confetti are the most obvious festive wedding exit prop, but then clean-up can be a nightmare. Enter these “no-mess” streamers, where you hold onto the container and make a throwing motion to have the white streamers shoot out. However, one of the streamers is still attached to the container, making it quick to gather all the streamers afterward.

The only consideration is that if there are a lot of people throwing streamers, the bride and groom can get a little tangled in a web of streamers.

• 10-pack of no-mess white hand streamers

2. Bubbles

Child-friendly, eco-friendly, affordable — the list goes on and on for bubbles. If you’re okay with guests having slightly soapy hands afterwards, bubbles are a go-to for daytime wedding send-offs.

• 56-pack mini bubble wands

2. Ribbons

These ribbon-and-bell send-off props are very easy to DIY, but you can also purchase them in a variety of colors.

• 50-pack of champagne-colored ribbon sticks 
• 50-pack of white-colored ribbon sticks

3. Sparklers

Sparklers are the go-to nighttime wedding send-off. Make sure someone has a bucket of water and fire extinguisher on hand (safety first!), and then have a take-charge friend line up the guests and start the sparkler-lighting chain with at least four people to expedite the lighting process.

4. Festive Flags

Is there any way to declare your love any louder than with signs? Put your cheers on paper flags, or you can customize them with your favorite phrases to personalize your wedding send-off even more.
