At a friends’ wedding a couple of years ago, they’d placed these heart-shaped sparklers in a shot glass filled with jelly beans at each of the place settings.

They looked cute and a bit different, but they really came into their own when the lights went down and grown men were waving them about, competing to see who could write their name the fastest! They cost £4.99 for a pack of 8 from hitched.co.uk.
