The send off tunnel for the newly weds to parade down as they are leaving the reception is still a fun tradition that many brides enjoy incorporating into their plans. Although the tradition started with throwing rice, that has lessened in popularity for a number of reasons. That lessening has allowed brides to get creative on what the guests will throw or hold as they exit. Some of the ideas that have risen in popularity have included bird seed, cut leaves, sparklers, and bubbles.
