Sparklers

If your reception goes into the night, sparklers are a great option for your exit and really make a big impact on your photos. A company I love to send all my clients to is USA Sparkler Company They have an amazing variety of sizes and styles to fit the look of the sparkler you want. They have incredibly fast shipping, and the customer service is top-notch! Pro Tip: Make sure you have a safe way to extinguish the sparklers, like using a bucket filled with water or sand to ensure they are completely out.
Flower Petals

I love this idea for an afternoon or garden-themed wedding. Folklore tells us that throwing flower petals in this fashion symbolizes fertility. Select flower petals that match the colors of your wedding to brighten up your photos, as guests toss them in the air, the petals will cascade around you. It’s a beautiful sight to see captured on film. Be Earth-friendly and talk to your florist about getting red flower petals for your guests to toss on your day.
Ribbon Wands

A throwback to the days of old. I’m a sucker for all things Victorian era, and this is on my list of fun and swoon-worthy exits. These particular Ribbon Wands have bells on them, and when you shake them the soft fabric and ringing fills the sky signaling for a lovely couple to kiss. It's a romantic and whimsical thing to witness.
Bubbles

If you’re still able to have some daylight after your reception, bubbles are an easy, inexpensive, and clean-up free option. I mean, who doesn’t love bubbles? It brings us back to our childhood and all the nostalgia that comes with it. You can find them virtually everywhere, from your party retailer to Amazon, to Walmart. Remember, keep these out of the hands of very young children.
