Wedding, Party and Special Event Sparklers FAQs

Q: What's the best size of sparkler for my wedding or party?

To allow enough time for everyone to get their sparkler lit and have them all burning, the best size to choose is either out 20". 8" or 10" don't burn long enough and the 36" sparklers are too bulky for people to handle easily. However, the 36" are perfect for standing in the ground to make a pathway for the wedding party to walk through on their way out of the church or reception.

Q. Do you have silver sparklers instead of gold for my wedding or party?

Due to chemicals used in manufacturing the sparklers, silver sparks are not allowed under current federal regulations making silver sparklers illegal at this time.

Q: I'd like to paint my sparklers to match my wedding theme. Is this possible?

Yes! Take that gray color and make it match your special day! Just lightly spray them to your desired color with quality paint such as Krylon giving them a light, even coat of paint. It's a good idea to do a test sample before your wedding day to avoid unnecessary surprises.

Q. Is it safe to put sparklers on a birthday, wedding or party cake?

A few 8" or 10" gold wire sparklers are ok. (Never, ever use bamboo and don't overdo it!) Sparklers do give off small amounts of non-toxic black residue specks that may be noticeable on your cake's frosting if you use too many sparklers. When in doubt, considering handing everyone a sparkler or filling small glass or metal containers with colored sand or stones, decorating them with ribbons and sticking the sparklers in them. It adds pizzazz to the table without affecting the cake.

Q: Can I buy sparklers online?

Yes, you can legally buy sparklers and other novelty items online - anything that can be sent via common carrier (UPS) ground. This is an easy and convenient way for you to make your special event extra special and memorable.
