Let off some Barrages, which are rapid firing multi-shot cakes. Fiery ground fountains that emit a jet of sparks upwards in varying colours and colourful bursting rockets, will awe the crowd, and some whistling and crackling wheels and sparklers are sure to dazzle your guests. Buy some Sky Lanterns and have a table with pens for people to add messages on the before letting them off.
