How to Get That Groom Involved? Get a Little… Explosive!

Is your soon-to-be groom getting tired of sitting through countless meetings with caterers, decorators and planners? Are you running out of guy-friendly tasks to keep him both involved in (and excited about) the up-and-coming ceremony?

Forget about those typical tasks like choosing a DJ or reserving the limo — this is one chore your significant other will be thrilled to be assigned:

Making your own fireworks display!

More and more couples are getting married with a bang (and we’re not talking about shotgun weddings here.) Pyrotechnics — aka fireworks — are a powerful, beautiful … and like most really tasty things … expensive addition to your special day.

In the event that you hire a professional team for your own private show, you’re going to have to shell out a minimum of one to two thousand dollars (which granted, is a reasonably good deal and often includes customized colors, etc.)

Sure, the cost is reasonable, but the DIY wedding warrior can do better. Right? Or as we always ask ourselves around here, What would Martha do?

As it turns out … if you read between the lines … it seems that more thrifty and adventurous couples are taking the plunge into do-it-yourself displays.

If this task sounds right up your mate’s alley, head on over to www.skylighter.com to read up on everything you need to know to create your own thrilling display without costing (and ideally, losing) an arm and a leg. With a little bit of home study, your groom could be ready to brag about his own bunch of barely-legal explosives. And your wedding will be the talk of the town … one way or another, that is.

(Of course, don’t forget to check your local ordinances for any permits or restrictions that might be involved.

And if you don’t feel up to crafting the big-boom types out of mortar tubes and shells, you could always gratify your inner pyromaniac by making your own wedding sparklers.)
