Time of Day

The time of day you set off fireworks matters. Most of the time, it makes sense to set off fireworks at night, so you can see the beautiful bursts of color when it’s dark. However, you should still be mindful of neighbors and the season. If it’s a national holiday when fireworks are expected, your neighbors probably expect some degree of noise at night. They’re not going to be happy if you’re setting fireworks off at 2 am, though. If it’s not a national holiday, be mindful of sleeping hours and give your neighbors a heads up so they’re not caught off guard.

Safe Location

Do you have a safe location to set off fireworks? Ideally, you’ll have an ample amount of space to use the fireworks away from buildings, trees, and debris. Otherwise, you could end up hurting someone in a busy area or starting a fire. Be mindful of your location to ensure that it’s a safe place for fireworks.

Responsible Adult Supervision

It should go without saying that fireworks should only be set off by adults. However, sometimes accidents or injuries happen when adults set off fireworks. Make sure that there’s a responsible and sober adult at your party to oversee the fireworks. This can help reduce a lot of the concerns that you may have about having a firework display at your next event. Fireworks aren’t inherently dangerous, though improper use of them can cause them to be.

Overall Display

On top of safety, you want to create an awesome firework display. Consider including a variety of different fireworks and put some thought into the order that you’ll use them. Maybe you want to group similar types or colors together for a more interesting visual presentation.

Clean Up

Any time you plan to set off fireworks, you should schedule time to clean up any paper debris left behind. Even if it’s the next morning, plan to take a trash bag around your home to clean up any trash. If you’re planning on using fireworks away from home, you can do this the same night with a flashlight. You don’t want to leave large amounts of firework debris around.

Legality

In some places, fireworks aren’t legally allowed to be used by consumers. Some towns have time and location restrictions. Others ban certain types of fireworks, unless you’re a professional putting on a paid show. Make sure that you understand the legality of fireworks for your unique situation before purchasing fireworks.
