Grand Exit: Necessary or Not?

The grand exit is a classic wedding tradition and great photo op! Is the grand exit part of your wedding plans? Or is it not necessary?

    No, leaving is very much 'you do you'

    Not necessary at all. We're most-likely going to be at our reception until the end, so there's zero oppourtunity for a grand exit anyway.

    No, I would like to be one of the last to leave, so we can say thank you and goodbye to all of our guests

    Not necessary. We're leaving at midnight (we're shutting down the wedding, lol)... but my mom has to take my dress from the reception, as we're leaving straight to the airport hotel for our honeymoon... So I'm hoping to sneak out in pajamas without too many people left around Smiley laugh

    Nah. Definitely cool, but not necessary. We’ll have a very chill exit. I want to stay and say goodbye to all my loved ones, I don’t want to be the first to leave!

    Yay for a good photo-op but it’s not necessary for us, and we’ll likely hang out with our guests as things wind down.

    Right!!! I've seen some cute photos but like the amount of set up getting everyone out of the church and then posing for a photo?? Idk I kind of just want photos meeting and greeting people after the ceremony!

    I think the photos are lovely, but we won't be doing one. I'd like to stay until most of our guests are gone!

    I think the grand exit from the church is soooo anti-climatic. like..yaahh you got married lots of cheers, out the door. then you just stop. as you look for the people you need for photos. hahaha

    I think they are kind of ridiculous now. yes, while a sparkler send off makes for a cute photo. why are you leaving your own party early? (unless you have an early flight). i'm partying till the end with my family and friends!

    Not necessary, we won’t be bothering with this. we want to enjoy our wedding night and not be bothered with planning a big exit

    Not necessary! I actually only really heard about these recently ahhaha! I always thought the grand exit was out of the church after the ceremony!

    I'm partying with my guests till the end of the night!

    Not necessary nor I don't see it being relevant now. We'll probably be the last ones at the reception tbh.

    It makes sense if the couple had to leave early to go on their honeymoon but I rarely hear of anyone leaving the same NIGHT as their wedding.

    Agreed that it's not necessary unless the couple has to leave before the end of the reception.

    Not necessary, to be honest i don't see the point of one who actually how it works anymore, considering we were one of the last ones to leave!

    Not necessary - It depends on the couple, if they'll be staying all night or not.

    I want the last memory of my wedding day to be all our friends/family waving goodbye as they enjoy the last bits of the party. We'll be leaving right before last call and going to a separate hotel than our guests!
