You will not need matchboxes with the sparklers as many people will light off each other – it’s just what happens. You can save money and get the sparklers you really want! However, if you do want matchbooks, as they are so cute with the sparklers, We have found that www.foryourparty.com has the most styles and colors to choose from. People bundle matchbooks with the 10-inch sparklers using a ribbon or will stick the handle of the 20-inch and 36-inch sparklers through the matchboxes. A big basket of matches is also adorable.
We extend our apologies – it was an absolute mistake. Simply send us an email, and we will send some in the mail to you. If your wedding is tomorrow, don’t panic! The sparklers will light with a lighter – this just makes it easier. Once you get one sparkler lit, you’re golden. All other sparklers can be lit from that one and the other sparklers it lights.
Make sure the products are kept in a dry place. If you keep the sparklers away from dampness, they will stay good for years.
The sparklers are physically silver in color and they burn the color of a candle flame. On the box, they will say the color is gold but again, they burn the color of a candle flame.
The answer is yes, sparklers come in other colors but we do not sell colored sparklers because they do not come in the longer lengths, they burn more like a torch instead of with a pretty “sparkle”, and they only come in primary colors (mainly red, green, and blue).
No. The wooden stick starts to burn after the sparkler has been used and falls off in chunks on the ground. We only offer sparklers with a wire stick that does not break apart.
For our sparklers, the lowest price we offer is available to the public.
We only sell sparklers in pre-packaged boxes. The good news is that they stay good for many years, so you can always save extras for the 4th of July.
We do not sell samples but have a 100% guarantee. Order a box you think you want, try the sparklers. If you are not 100% pleased with the product – even if you have opened the box, simply return them for a full refund.
Shorter sparklers are typically 10 inches and suitable for small weddings. For celebrations with more guests, use 20-inch or 36-inch lengths as your budget permits. Use 36-inch long sparklers if you plan on having 100 guests or more at your wedding. The longer they are, the longer the burn time. Also called long or extra long sparklers, 36-inch sparklers give you time enough to take the best wedding photos, and long enough for grand entrances and wedding exits. They also allow you time to line up your guests, get every sparkler lit, reapply your lipstick (thanks MOM!), and have a happy wedding sparkler sendoff. Also, consider the timing and safety considerations mentioned.
The ephemeral light from smokeless sparklers create a magical moment you want to last forever. Unfortunately, each sparkler has a unique burn time. So, get the one that best showcases your wedding exit.

The sparklers we sell begin with an iron rod that is then coated by hand in China with Barium Nitrate, Aluminum, Magnalium, Phenolic Resin.
The iron is cut into the desired length. We sell 10 inch, 20 inch and 36 inch wedding sparklers – so the iron is cut specifically to those lengths. The sparklers are then loaded into a specially designed wooden rack that holds hundreds of sparklers in tiny holes. The sparklers are dipped at once into a barrel containing the sparkler composite. They dry in the sun and are then dipped again and allowed to fully dry. This second dipping process of the sparklers allows the composite to fully adhere to the iron rod and will eventually allow the sparklers to be extra long lasting. The composite we use is extra durable and will not break off or fall off in any way.
Legally, you should not use sparklers indoors. Please refer to the warning on the sparkler box and read on the Consumer Products Safety website. However, many restaurants use sparklers to put on cakes for birthdays and special celebrations.
Yes they can! The 10-inch sparklers are best for cakes as they are thin and very lightweight. If you insist on wanting a 20-inch sparkler on your wedding cake or birthday cake, you will need to inform the baker so they can prepare with some sort of Styrofoam base as the 20-inch sparkler is long and they are a bit heavier.
We haven’t tried to use sparklers in the rain but you are welcome to try.
Sparklers do not smell before lit. When they are lit, there is a smell like the start of a candle.
Sparkler signs really add to the day! We offer sparkler signs right here at Sparklers Online. We have signs, sparkler tags, and sparklers buckets to help you complete the perfect sparkler ensemble.

Sparklers are classified as novelties by the federal government and are not defined as consumer fireworks. Under this classification, sparklers can legally be shipped via ground methods.

If used with good discretion, sparklers are perfectly safe. The following warning is included in every box: “Caution, Flammable. Use only under close adult supervision. For outdoor use only. Do not touch the glowing wire. Hold in hand with arm extended from the body. Keep the burning end or sparks away from wearing apparel or other flammable material. Hold and light only one sparkler at a time. After use, place in water.”
Again, as we mentioned above, if sparklers are used with good discretion, you should not have a single worry. We have had thousands of happy brides order and use sparklers without a single complaint. Make sure, if you are using sparklers for your wedding departure, that you have your guests lined up far enough away from each other to create a wide row (so that you are NOT running underneath the sparklers). This will eliminate any possibility of sparklers coming in contact with the wedding dress. Please read the safety instructions included in the box.
Line your guests up into 2 rows and have the bride and groom run through the rows. Make sure the bride and groom are not running under a “tunnel” of sparklers. We have had thousands of happy brides and not a single problem because all guests have used the sparklers responsibly.
No, sparklers are for outdoor use only.
We sell the best sparklers on the market. In an effort to look at reducing costs, we sampled many sparklers and found none to be as bright and last as long as my sparklers. All the smaller copycat websites out there are using an inferior product and we refuse to sacrifice quality.

Most brides order the 36-inch sparkler. It is the longest “sparkling” sparkler on the market. Its 4-minute “sparkle” allows enough time for your guests to line up and light their sparklers as you and your lucky groom leave for your reception or honeymoon.
You have the most flexibility with the 36-inch sparklers. They give you plenty of time to get all of the sparklers lit, arrange your guests and photographer, and run out amid a sea of sparklers. If your wedding is around 100 people, you can easily use the 20-inch sparklers. Many people love the little ones (the 10-inch sparklers) – I simply think it takes more time to tie 4-5 together, but they look adorable when you do!

The 20-inch and 36-inch sparklers are quite tough to light with a match, lighter, or candle flame. They do light instantly with another sparkler. In each box of 20-inch and 36-inch sparklers (48 sparklers per box), we include an additional six of our 10-inch sparklers with lighting instructions to help. Simply light the 10-inch sparklers (they light instantly with a match, candle flame, or lighter) then use the 10-inch sparklers to get some of the longer sparklers lit. The 20-inch and 36- inch sparklers will light off any lit sparkler, regardless of the size. (Getting the sparklers lit is a great task for the groomsmen. Make sure they know where you have stored the lighter and 10-inch sparklers.)
